"Very interesting property shaped in an oval like the Roman Theatre that everyone comes here to visit. Like everything in Tunisia appears to be fading, but they keep it up as well as possible and staff is very nice. Breakfast was basic but good. Walking distance to the museum and the amphitheater and nice to walk around the outside of thetheater at sunset without any tour groups around."
