Kenza Guesthouse

Top choice in Southern Tunisia


This small troglodyte house has been turned into a guesthouse by owner Habib, and it has an unexpected charm. Accommodation is en suite, and the traditional food is great. Tours are offered and give a great insight into local life – it's a quite unique Tunisian village experience and highly recommended.
