Located in the north of Tunisia, the town of Sidi Bou Said sits on top of a cliff which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. For many years, people have been drawn to this picturesque village, with its blue and white colour scheme. It was a hub for bohemians and artists, including the likes of Henri Matisse and Paul Klee, and today attracts a wide variety of tourists. There’s plenty of culture to take in, including ancient ruins, palaces, and museums. And of course, you can relax on the beach and enjoy a meal at one of the village’s many restaurants. We’ve created a list of our top ten Airbnb vacation rentals in Sidi Bou Said, so read on and prepare to be enchanted by this blue and white city.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on January 29, 2025.

1. Independent studio
Starting off our list is this studio apartment, perfect for a couple. It’s an excellent choice for those who enjoy being out and about, and having a simple, relaxing spot to come home to. Essential linens are provided for you, and there is heating to keep you warm on chilly nights. You’ll be served breakfast each morning, but do note that the apartment does not have a kitchen, so you’ll be eating out the rest of the time. Luckily, the apartment is centrally located, so there are a number of eateries right outside your door. Head to Coste for a coffee and a snack. Or stop by The Cliff, a restaurant with stunning views of the sea, for a meal. You also won’t be far from other attractions including Mûsiqât, a palace and museum which features Oriental art.
