Originally erected as a bourgeois residence in the heart of the 19th century, Dar Saïd has recently undergone meticulous restoration, carefully preserving its architectural characteristics to transform it into a charming residence. Nestled atop a hill in the renowned village of Sidi Bou Said, dating back to the 13th century, this discreetly charming dwelling offers breathtaking views of the turquoise hues of the Bay of Tunis.

Occupying a magnificent 19th-century residence, Dar Saïd provides a warm guesthouse atmosphere, enhanced by the gentleness of its four flowered patios and 24 rooms in pastel shades. Ancient faience, delicate columns, marble fountains, doors, and wrought iron scrolls in a deep blue all contribute to creating a refined ambiance that characterizes Sidi Bou Said.

Facilities include a delightful pool overlooking the sea, accompanied by a snack bar offering meals crafted with fresh market produce (also served in-room). A lounge is dedicated to breakfasts, with the option to enjoy them in the room, by the pool, or in the garden. The hotel also offers a hammam and a pleasant garden, enhancing your overall stay experience.

Situated in the heart of the historic village, Dar Saïd enjoys a privileged location, just 15 minutes from Tunis Carthage International Airport and 20 minutes from downtown Tunis.
