“Stay at this exquisite property for an excellent experience”

There are some properties you want to describe with every superlative you know. This is one of them.

There are some properties you want to describe with every superlative you know. This is one of them. Located in exquisite Sidi Bou Said, it is the home of a former president and has been turned into a jewel of a boutique hotel. I had room #12, a lovely suite, facing the pool on one side and a small courtyard (along with two more rooms) on the other side. The large room has a king size bed, sitting area with sofa and club chair, coffee table and desk. There is a short hallway leading to the bathroom and further on, a large closet with shelves, hangers and a safety deposit box. The entire room has gorgeous architectural details, good lighting, and a Nespresso machine. They think of everything here. After check-in, when I entered my room, BBC was already on the TV and there was a little selection of sweet tidbits on the coffee table. Wi-fi îs excellent, but if you can’t connect in the room, go to the lobby, where the signal is strongest, and connect there. When you return to your room, it keeps the connection. The hotel and its gardens are beautiful and well-kept, There is a set of stairs down to the main shopping area. And across the street is the excellent Dar Zarrouk Restaurant. If you use a walking stick bring it on your walks as the cobblestones are huge. A transfer to Tunis International airport (about an hour away) is 50 TD and the car picks you up at the hotels door. Make an reservation and pre-pay at the reception desk. I can’t think of a better place to stay in Sidi Bou Said. I would love to return some day.

“A wonderful experience”

The area reminded me of Santorini, white and blue buildings. The hotel is at the end of the road, so only foot traffic, very quiet. View from the cliff a short walk away, also numerous shops nearby.

The area reminded me of Santorini, white and blue buildings. The hotel is at the end of the road, so only foot traffic, very quiet. View from the cliff a short walk away, also numerous shops nearby. The hotel is small and quaint and attractive. Everything is photogenic. Rooms are adequate size, some quite large. Many by the pool, with direct access from the room, and others have a view of the sea. Interesting interiors. There is a seating area by the pool and also outside with a view of the sea. Friendly helpful staff, especially Ons at the reception desk. The spa is small, but Najwa has a portable cot that she can take to a room. Najwa's massages are calming, relaxing, soothing. I had one every day. The breakfast area is small but not crowded. Limited offerings, but everything is tasty and filling. I would definitely stay there again.

“Almost but not quite”

This is a gorgeous hotel. It is beautifully decorated and is located in a magnificent area. . The bedroom is lovely, the bed is comfortable, the pillows are soft. The bathroom is fairly well stocked, however, a few things could be improved. There is not enough shelf space nor outlets in the bathroom, and there is nothing to put the soap on in the shower. Unfortunately, our shower was broken and we had nothing but scalding hot water. Other than that, the breakfast was excellent, and we had omelettes to order
