Villa Chaâbane

Eight rooms inside a traditional Djerban courtyard house on Rue de Houmt Souk, Villa Chaâbane keeps whitewashed arches, hand-painted zellige tilework, and a central garden patio that muffles the medina's street noise by nightfall.

The property runs without a star rating, which here means personal hosting rather than branded service — guests share breakfast under the courtyard fig tree at a time agreed the night before. Each room is individually furnished with local weave textiles and wrought-iron fittings sourced from Houmt Souk's artisan quarter.

Houmt Souk's covered market and the Fondouk des Étrangers, a 17th-century caravanserai, sit within a five-minute walk. The Djerba Explore lagoon museum and crocodile farm are reachable by taxi in under fifteen minutes.
