At the top of La Tour, there is a Moroccan bed on a covered terrace with a view of the Atlas mountains.
Villanovo itself was good. However, the concierge service left much to be desired. Many mistakes in the bookings for airport transfers. Wrong Pax names and numbers, wrong flight times and return transfers did not leave sufficient times for our guests at the airport. On one occasion the taxi did not turn up (our guests had travelled 36 hours by that time!) and one taxi turned up late. I had to keep checking all the details as they never seemed correct.
