Dar Said Hotel

Superior
Perched on the side of a hill, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in the picture perfect blue and white village of Sidi Bou Said, the Dar Said Hotel is a beautiful 19th century residence located within easy striking distance of the attractions of Carthage and Tunis. Access to the property is through an enormous horseshoe shaped traditional Moorish arch which brings you to a hidden peaceful world rich in Tunisian architectural motifs. The Dar Said Hotel boasts four traditional courtyards planted with jasmine and bougainvilleas and livened up with fountains and running water. Accommodation is offered in 24 individually decorated and somewhat dated en suite rooms. Antique chandeliers and furniture, elaborate stucco work, rich curtains, geometric Tunisian wall tiles, and bathrooms designed as small Turkish baths are some of the decorative elements that give the hotel a special sense of place. The exotic gardens which overlook the Mediterranean are a great feature of the property and include century old cypresses, palms trees, and bougainvilleas. In addition to the Dar Said’s private Hammam, the hotel has a small swimming pool. Breakfast and lunch are made with ingredients from the local market and can be taken where you choose: in your room, by the pool, or in the garden. Dinner is served across the road at the elegant Dar Zarrouk restaurant which overlooks the marina and Gulf of Tunis.
