Here are the available villas for rental in Tunisia.

Welcoming in all respects

We returned from a first visit to Tunisia three weeks ago. A country full of contrasts and welcoming in all respects.
The Tunisian people, helpful and friendly. The weather, absolutely beautiful.
A two-day round trip south from Port el Kantaoui into the Sahara desert, Matmarta, then onto the oasis at Touzeur, then through the Atlas Mountains was the icing on the cake to a truly memorable holiday.
Thank you Tunisia! We'll be back soon!

Cheap transport for hagglers

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Saadia in Skanes. Although only a fifteen minute transfer from Monastir, you were not disturbed by planes flying overhead.
The people of the hotel were excellent as were the entertainment team. Food was very varied and good, even for a person like me with a food allergy.
It was very easy to travel, either by horse and cart. But agree your price before getting on the cart.
Taxis from Lourges were very inexpensive. You have to find a taxi driver that is going to your destination and wait until it gets full, but this only takes a a short time.
We travelled to Tunis and back for £7. Again, agree your price before alighting.
There is plenty to visit, from marvellous beaches to mosques and markets. The people are lovely too.

So good I'm going back

My mother and I stayed in the Sahara Beech Hotel near Monastir in November 2004. We found the food to be fantastic and the people were very friendly.
We went on several excursions including the desert. The scenery was absolutely stunning. We were lucky enough to go on a camel ride to see the sunset over the sands of the desert. The, the following morning, we saw the sun rising over the salt lakes.
We both enjoyed the country so much, we are looking forward to going back next year.

Glimpse of a great past

Our hotel in Hammamet was right on the beach, which was impressively clean, wide and safe - apart from dodging the hawkers trying to sell you things.
The town, with its walled old section and kasbah containing the souks, was pleasant to walk around and less threatening than markets I'd been to in Morocco. We were unadventurous and took organised trips everywhere, but it was a good way of learning a lot in a week.
It was fascinating to visit ancient Carthage in its impressive position by the sea and it brought dusty schoolbook memories to life. Later we saw the far better preserved Roman ruins at Dougga, but Carthage still held more mystique for me because of its legendary status.
My artist daughter loved the whitewashed hilltop village of Sidi bou Said, with its pretty blue iron railings and shutters and its cobbled streets. The candy stalls on the streets were colourful, even if the sweets looked jawbreaking! We bought a beautiful tin doll here.
I fell in love with the great ancient city of Kairouan, where we sat in a carpet shop sipping sweet mint tea and managed to resist buying a handsome rug. The Great Mosque here is superb with a wonderful atmosphere - the whole city has an air of past greatness.
Near Hammamet, we joined the masses at the Nabeul Friday market - chaotic but fun. Not many bargains as they're out to catch the tourists, but I did buy some blue and white bowls. Some were very brittle and broke on the way home, but other pieces survived to grace my kitchen and remind me of North Africa. ... more

A wonderful country

A wonderful country, I was there six times in six months, I even went by myself and I am only 30 and female so it is safe.
If you possibly can try to go the Carbus, Northeast peninsula south from Tunis along the coast with natural geysers and hot springs into the ocean - it's a favourite of the locals to go swimming there for all the minerals coming out but I think it is a secret kept by them!
I have even had the opportunity to have the company of the Mayor of Tunis as a table guest who welcomed me very warmly.
However, if you do go to Tunis do not give them any temptation with bags as they will take it.
From my experience, which was twice, stay clear of the Medinas - it's too long to explain but do not go in.
Try leblebbie - bread, chick peas and spicy sauce and beautiful.
Inlaid chessboards are a good buy, but do not pay more that £40 for one.
And if you are going I wish I was coming with you and have a wonderful time. ... more
