El Patio Courtyard House is not only a small guesthouse. It is also a story about personal commitment and profound interest in the ambitious project of conserving the Old Town of Tunis, the medina. By restoring and renovating our house, which dates back to the early 18th century, turning it into a small-scale guesthouse, we want to contribute to the conservation of the Old Town and to the strengthening of the social status of its inhabitants. We support talented individuals and local craftsmen through a number of micro-projects. When you stay at El Patio Courtyard House, you support a social enterprise.
