This was a charming and comfortable place to spend several days in Tunis. It’s old and lovely and the hosts are excellent and incredibly kind and knowledgeable. It is quiet and peaceful and a little quirky with old movie posters and fabulous antiques. Highly recommended and we would happily stay again.

Oasis in a busy town!
Villa Les Palmes is a beautiful, historic and peaceful estate of colonial times. We had a suite with tastefull interior and balconies in two directions. The breakfast was served downstairs in the creativly decorated diningroom with large windows, much light, fresh air and direct exit to the veranda and garden. You can also order dinner and drinks in the evening and enjoy it outside in the tranquil garden.
The whole house gives you inspiration with its artistic character.
We met the politeful owner couple several times. They gave good service. We had nice conversations together and got interesting inside information about the town and the country.
Outside the entrance with trees and a nice garden you find a vibrious crossing with a nearby school, the metro and a small cafe. The old Medina er about 1,5 km away. You can easily get a cheap taxi right in front of the estate. Thank you very much for a relaxing stay!

Avoid this place
The property has potential however overall I did not have a successful stay. Upon check in I was advised that the room had a shared bathroom. The owner advised that he had a room with a private bathroom but this was more expensive. He advised me to cancel the original reservation and re-book the en-suite room and he would authorise a refund via Hotels.com for the full cost of the original booking. I did this with great difficulty, as to why this could not have been sorted locally I am still unsure! Anyway Hotels.com emailed to advise the owner had not waived the cancellation fee for the original booking. When I approached him he stated they had not contacted him. I wasted two days of my holiday dealing with this. The owner then said that as the second booking was made using a promotional rate (but still much higher value than the original booking) he wanted me to give him the amount of the promotion back in order for him to agree the refund of the original reservation - basically blackmail. It was clear he had not responded to Hotels.com intentionally and this was part of his game to extract more money from me. Added to this the hotel had no heating on my first night and was not comfortable. The owner spends all of his time chain smoking in the kitchen - yes Kitchen! Meaning the whole place smelled of cigarette smoke. The breakfast was very basic and of poor quality and finally the photos on the website are not recent and not a true reflection. I do not recommend.

Cosy et spacieux, une vraie évasion
Si vous recherchez de l’authenticité et un accueil personnalisé, vous êtes à la bonne adresse ! Décor, que ce soit dans les parties communes ou dans les chambres, fait voyager, raconte des histoires. Les hôtes sont aux petits soins avec les voyageurs et sont très arrangeants. Personnel gentil et attentionné. On se croit vraiment comme chez soi.
Je garde un très bon souvenir de mon séjour, et je n’hésiterai pas à y retourner !

Un havre de paix
Dans la chaleur et l'agitation de Tunis, j'ai été surpris et ravi de trouver cette très belle maison. Beaucoup de charme, bien décorée, originale. Des suites magnifiques qui nous font voyager dans le temps. Très bonne literie, propre, calme, tout est fait pour passer une nuit paisible. J'y ai passé un bon moment, serein, avec un hôte très accessible avec qui on peut partager. Merci pour ce bon moment.

Nur das Bett war gut!
Bei meiner Ankunft nach 23.00 Uhr musste ich zusätzlich € 20.- wegen "Late check in" bezahlen. Die versprochene Rechnungsbestätigung war für den nächsten Morgen versprochen, habe ich aber nicht erhalten. Der angebotene Transfer vom Flughafen ist komplett überteuert. Mit den gelben Taxen kommt man zu einem Bruchteil zum Gästehaus. Um zum Zimmer zu kommen (3 - 4 Zimmer teilen ein WC und Dusche), musste ich das schwere Gepäck alleine 2 Stockwerke hochtragen. Der anscheinend betrunkene Chef des Hauses hat nur die Schlüssel getragen. Ich habe auch keinen Weckdienst benötigt da ich durch den Verkehrslärm sehr früh aufgewacht bin. Das Bett war gut. Sicher nie mehr wieder!!!
