A romantic escape nestled in the medina Our stay at Ryad Watier was nothing short of magical. This charming riad, perfectly positioned in the heart of Essaouira medina, beckons couples seeking an intimate getaway, just moments from vibrant market streets brimming with authentic Moroccan allure. We indulged in a deluxe room, complete with a cozy seating area and a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for intimate evenings together. The artistry and tranquility enveloped us, with handcrafted details and secluded corners providing an idyllic setting for romance. One highlight was arranging traditional Moroccan massages at the riad—an enchanting way to unwind after a day of exploration. The staff's warmth and attentiveness made our experience unforgettable. For couples yearning for a soulful retreat in Essaouira, Ryad Watier is an exquisite choice we would gladly revisit.

Chic, peaceful, and effortlessly French This is where we stayed, and I still dream about it. Tucked into the heart of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, La Maison du Village feels like something out of a French interior design magazine. Our suite was filled with Diptyque scents, fresh birthday flowers (merci, Marion!), and luxe little touches that made it feel more like a boutique retreat than a guesthouse. Every morning, we were treated to buttery croissants, homemade yogurt, and piping-hot coffee in a tranquil garden beside a bubbling fountain. It was romantic, elegant, and completely peaceful — the kind of place that makes you want to wake up early, just to soak it all in. If you’re looking for a stylish home base in Provence, I couldn’t recommend it more.
