Maison d’Hôtes Casa.b Mogador

Essaouira

Insider tip for individualists

Casa.b, a hidden gem in the heart of Essaouira’s medina, has an airy lightness that’s hard to beat. Only insiders will be able to find the 18th-century building located in a quiet street between the sprawling Place Moulay Hassan and the Skala de la Kasbah. The charming hotel is also just 500 metres away from the beach and its 5km promenade.

Casa.b Mogador is the architectural life’s work of a French family who spent years putting their heart and soul into every little detail. Its style and architecture capture the zeitgeist with authenticity and sensitivity. Each room is unique, as are the six themed suites that fascinate visitors with stories of freedom and lives well lived.

Casa.b Mogador

Houses that fascinate you and encourage you to dream are the ones that tell a story. This historic building was constructed by Jewish businessmen ‘Meyer Rosilio & Brothers’ in the late 18th century. In the 19th century, it housed a famous pastry shop, which Essaouira fondly remembers to this day. Casa.b – a true insider tip for individualists and explorers – has enjoyed a glorious resurgence since June 2022. When the unassuming doors open to the house of the Bilic family, a precious jewel is revealed. This architectural beauty combines the best of Morocco and France. The owners have chosen a simple name for its cocoon-like ambience with modern inspiration: Casa.b, standing for both ‘Casa Bilic’ and ‘Casa blanca’ (white house). It could also be interpreted as a tribute to Casablanca, the city 4.5 hours to the north that found global fame thanks to the film of the same name starring Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart.

Its slogan – ‘S’isoler, se retrouver, vagabonder’ – perfectly summarises the philosophy of its hosts, who want their guests to feel ultimate joy and freedom wherever they turn.

The six themed suites across three floors are spacious and individually designed. The salon is a living space focused on pure joie de vivre.

  • I get up early and start the day with the perfect breakfast on the terrace, which is sheltered from the wind, enjoying the Atlantic breeze as I eat.
  • My Private Guide is waiting for me at Casa.b, and together we begin exploring.
  • Heading inland, we immerse ourselves in the life of a Berber family and experience Moroccan hospitality at a traditional tea ceremony.
  • On the way back, we visit a women’s argan oil cooperative, where we learn all about the different production stages for ‘Moroccan gold’.
  • I look back on my experiences as I enjoy a hammam ritual. After being washed and massaged from head to toe, I feel amazing!
  • My Private Guide has just arranged a sporting adventure for tomorrow – a quad bike tour through the dunes!
  • Dinner is served – my hosts have cooked up something amazing, and I can’t wait to see the menu at the table d’hôtes.
  • In the medina, I fulfil a lifelong wish to get a henna tattoo, as well as some handmade raffia shoes for the summer.

Built of stone, brick, wood, glass and concrete, the Casa.b is original and charming. Each of its six generous rooms with king or queen-sizes beds exudes joie de vivre. Design and furnishings are unique, combining timeless modernism with examples of Moroccan craftsmanship. With furniture that the family has collected over many years, and pictures of former kings. The six themed suites adjoin open salons or face the planted terraces.

Chambre Fleur de Henné is named after the flowering henna tree. The 40sqm room’s 100-year-old cedar wood ceiling ensures elegance, while different wood tones create an inviting atmosphere. Family-owned furniture, such as  pieces by Le Corbusier or Knoll Saarinen, add a special touch.

On two levels, 40sqm Chambre Étoile Nomade’s spacious living room conveys an intimate feeling of wellbeing with clean lines and playful décor. Dream in the queen-sized bed at mezzanine level, and an additional bed for a third guest downstairs.

Chambre Songes on the second floor is accessed via an attractive pivot door which swings open on 32sqm of rest and relaxation with a view of the flower patio. Dreams come alive in the gentle atmosphere of this room.

The elegant Chambre Chat Perché is a dreamer’s haven. Furnished with modern classics and pieces of Moroccan craftsmanship, the 35sqm room sleeps up to 3 and offers a light-filled sanctum of relaxation. Its crowning glory is a 12sqm terrace opening onto a beautifully planted courtyard.

Room amenities: King size or queen size bed, safe, heating, Italian shower, hair dryer, shower gel, shampoo, white cerise sheets, towels.

On Casa.b’s sheltered terrace, the day begins with the consistently pleasant temperatures, a light breeze from the Atlsntic Ocean, and the best breakfast in town. Freshly squeezed lemon, orange and grapefruit juices; home-made jams such  as tomato and vanilla, apricot and lavender, and strawberry and mint; artisanal Moroccan honeys (eucalyptus, lavender etc.); soft cheeses, olive oil, and otganic argan oil reflect the country’s flavours. In addition, guests enjoy fresh, seasonal fruit; and a wide selection of teas, coffee and hot chocolate. Moroccan bread specialities are utterly delicious too., as are home-made crêpes and freshly baked cakes.
Getting to know the local cuisine is a definite must when on a holiday in Morocco. The best way is to do as the Moroccans do: with family and friends around a large table laden with good food. This is what the table d’hôtes at Casa.b looks like. Everything is fresh cooked using the day’s catch and fresh produce from the daily market.
The roof terrace offers a sensational view of the entire Medina of Essaouira and the Atlantic Ocean in the distance. Furthermore there is a bar, three salons, a home cinema and film projector, DVD and streaming options (Netflix) and a small library.
Casa.b Mogador is perfect for getting away from it all and embarking on journeys of (self-) discovery in an easy-going environment. Natural materials, architectural sensitivity and attention to detail characterise every inch of the Bilic family’s Casa.b – an extraordinary jewel. Hospitality and wellbeing are the top priorities of this charming place, once a famous pastry shop.
