A 10 room "country house" hotel with pool and tropical garden
The Villa Josephine is a beautiful country house with 11 rooms and suites. This stunning belle epoque home was built in the early 1920s by the famous English journalist, Walter Harris, reputed to be the model for Indiana Jones. It has since been turned into a glamorous guesthouse with beautifully appointed rooms and suites, often booked by celebrities and film stars on location in Tangier. The villa has also been the summer residence for a Pasha of Marrakech.
Tropical gardens surround the swimming pool with spectacular views over the Straits of Gibraltar. Other hotel facilities include a bar, library and restaurant serving high quality french cuisine.
Most of the rooms/suites have a sea view, with a few (108 and 109) looking over the forest; all are beautifully decorated in a European style to suit the building.
One of the most prestigious hotels in the 'vieille montagne' area of Tangier, La Villa Josephine evokes a sense of a bygone era. A heady mix of belle epoque french riviera with a twist of exotic Africa.
The Lawrence of Morocco map displays the locations of the destinations and accommodation that we have selected and visited; for each item, hovering over or clicking the marker will display a short summary and photo of that place or hotel, and hotel pricing. Follow the links in the info box to the full page listing which has much more information.
Note that the online map offers both a satellite view (click satellite in the top right) and, for some locations, a street level view (Drag the person in the top left onto the map). These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver. Alternatively we will arrange private (car rather than coach) transfers for you; helicopter transfers are also possible for some destinations.
We really know Morocco and have had the pleasure of making many people's dream trips become reality over the years. It has been our privilege to be asked to manage holidays, weddings and productions for so many fantastic and discerning clients.
