Dar Boumakhlouf

Top choice in Tunisia


Situated between the kasbah and the medina, its position alone would make Dar Boumakhlouf a good choice, but it's also one of the most beautiful traditional homes in the region. Each of the three rooms is named after a local song, and two are decorated with authentic colourfully painted wooden screens.

Breakfast includes a rare taste of Keffoise favourites, including the morish abraj (semolina biscuits) and rfissa (date crumble).
