Comfortable One-bedroom Apartment In Villa Tunis, Heated Pool, Tropical Garden

About Ernest A. Slingsby

We live close to Villa Tunis so we are always ready to help guests. Previously, we lived in Egypt for nearly 20 years. In fact, the idea of Villa Tunis comes from the rural village south of Cairo where I have a villa. Pottery and other Egyptian handicrafts come from village artisans close to our villa. These experiences bring an international flavor to Villa Tunis as well as an understanding of the excitement of traveling to a new location and exploring all that the setting has to offer. Villa Tunis is a Florida limited liability company licensed to provide vacation and extended stay rentals.
