However the location was good in the medina but overall that hotel (Villa de l'O) was poor.
I must stress however that overall we had the most fantastic time. Our guides were always knowledgeable and helpful while Khalid certainly made the trip a total success.
Thank you to Hassan for all his help and with organizing the overall trip.
