Appart, Hotel & Café Agadir

Six floors of apartment-style rooms on Rue d'Agadir, inside Essaouira's walled medina, give guests kitchenettes rather than minibars — useful for stocking bread and argan oil bought at the nearby Sunday souk. Ramparts and the fishing port are a seven-minute walk through narrow lanes too tight for cars.

The rooftop café serves breakfast with a view over the medina's flat roofs and the Atlantic beyond the harbour wall. Rooms facing the interior stay cooler in summer; those with port views trade quiet for the morning gull chorus.

Good for longer stays needing a kitchen over concierge service.
