Chez Nicola- Mogador Apartments

Firstly we would like to mention the things, which where not so good:
1. My wife and me got flea bites after sleeping in the double bed. Maybe the cat Hampka brought them into the appartment!
2. The roof terrace was not that, what we expected after having watched the pics in internet. There was a great view over the Mellah, but the atlantic we only could        guess!
     So, there must be a false pic in the internet announcement.
What was wonderfull:
1. Fatimah and her traditional cooking. She made for us an extremly good tasting tajine and couscous. And she was a wonderfull person too, full of heart and soul!
2. Said was a very friendly custodian, with a big open ear for all problems. He has organized for us an excellent taxi from Taghazoud to Essaouira. He also welcomed us with some morrocan cookies and a wonderfull pot of Mint-Tea.
3. The appartment was an oriental dream! Maybe the way to the beach was a bit too long!

I stayed at Dar Nicola in April with my 24 yr old daughter. This property is accurately described and did not disappoint. It has been charmingly decorated and felt loved. Said was very helpful and the taxi pickup arranged from Marrakech all went very smoothly. we loved being right in the middle of the old city and all the major features of Essaouira are within a few minutes walk. There are excellent restaurants nearby and helpful commentary from previous occupants in notebooks left in the house. the steep stairs would not be suitable for anyone with walking/climbing difficulties. sadly while we were there a seagull had decided to nest on the roof terrace so we were unable to get to the highest point for the views. nevertheless we had breakfast on the terrace each day. Its a beautiful place and the locals are very friendly. we had good weather but some strong cold winds meant lying on the beach was out of the question. but my daughter did a kite surfing course. all in all Id thoroughly recommend this property and Essaouira.

I love this place.... So much so that we went back for a 2nd year!

Fantastic location, beautiful property, amazing views &amp; in a great city. The property is in a quiet location but close to everything. It has all the essential amenities (excluding internet or a tv - but they are nice not to have sometimes!) for an easy stay. Friendly neighbours &amp; safe area. Great value for money, especially compared to hotels or other flats in the area.

Nicola &amp; her man Said in Essaouria are both helpful, responsive &amp; knowledgeable. Their suggestions &amp; recommendations both in the house information book &amp; direct from Said are excellent. The cleaner is efficient &amp; regular.

Cant rate this property enough....

Dar Nicola was a lovely place to stay, made better by Said our contact and Samira our housekeeper. The house was immaculate and well equipped there was nt a single thing that we needed , a lovely place for self catering ensuring we had a lovely break.

AMAZING!!! Exeeded our expectations in full! Thanks to Fatima the lady of many talents, Said the man who is there when ever you need him and ofcourse the owners Nicola &amp; Damien. if there is a complaint it would be the photos used to promote the property...most pictures are taken in the property below Chez Nicola like the bed room picture and the living room picture, they are identical propertys but there is a slighty different set-up...DONT expect a 4 poster bed..., that was a slight dissapointment and dont know WHY the real photos arent used as it is just as beautiful if not better....BUT A DEFINATE recommendation!! Essaouira is great!...chilled...and you will get a proper holiday feeling....

We had a fabulous holiday.  The riad was charming and close to everywhere we wanted to go.  The service was excellent: picked up at the airport and great maid service not to mention Saids advice and tips.  Even the boy next door was a delight.  Many thanks to all concerned.

Dear Nicola, 

We had a great stay in your apartment. I loved the way it is decorated. Especially the things you have made....("The cats from Essaouira", I love them ))
It was very nice to come back to after a nice day in Essaouira. 
It is warm and romantic. The atmosphere makes you feel relaxed.
And the roof-terrace is wonderful. We could watch the sun go down and after we had a nice barbeque. 
Said and Fatima are wonderful and very friendly.
They helped us a lot. And it was very nice to talk to them. 
The only thing I would change is the kettle for hot water. We liked to take a bath, but the hot water was finished fast.
But we would definitly come back!!!

Thank you...

We have just retruned from a lovely holiday in Essaouira and cannot praise Dar Nicola highly enough. The property is the perfect base for exploring the Medina, yet is also close to the beach. We also found it very peaceful as it is situated in a quiet lane so, all in all, in a perfect spot. Said and Fatima were really helpful and were always on hand should we have needed them.
Dar Nicola is clean, well equipped and furnished with homely Morrocan touches that made the place really comfortable and welcoming and the roof terrace really added to the whole experience. I would highly recommend this property to everyone.

 From Bury St Edmunds, United Kingdom

A beautiful house, close to all the attractions of Essaouira. The property has two roof terraces, with fantastic views of the town as far as the ocean. The property has been stunningly renovated, complete with local artefacts.
