Dar Ras Jbel

The rust-red exterior of Dar Ras Jbel makes a striking contrast to the universal whitewash of Tunisia's northern coast. Rooms are stripped down and understated, and there's a large lounge area with a log fire. Food is the big draw here, and Ras Jbel makes a point about its excellent Tunisian and non-Tunisian meals, using fresh local ingredients.
