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.

Outdated and overpriced. The property is very old design and not repainted, the heating is old radiators which are not sufficient for the cold. Shared spaces and close quarters are not good for privacy. This is a bed and breakfast from a nice couple, but not what we needed at the time. The garden is not maintained and consists of outdated handmade funiture. The guest house is a 2 story climb up a spiral staircase to a small room with no substantial heat, TV or ample space. Room service is nonexistent and all food must extra pay for dining with the hosts, also overpriced. We filled out an old fashioned papework, took a bath, and immediately went to the Marigold some 3 blocks away. Quaint, but unnecessary. I did thank the owner Ali for his efforts, but unfortunately it was not modern enough for our desire.

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.

Everyone here was kind and helpful. My room was cleaned regularly, and staff checked in on me on a day when I felt under the weather. Breakfast was plentiful, healthy, and yummy. And whether you have a big or small appetite, it will satisfy you. I highly recommend, and would book again if I go back to the city.

Excellent accueil d'Ali et son épouse dans cette magnifique villa du début du XXe siècle. Lieu magnifique chargé d'une belle âme. Petit déjeuner au top avec d'excellents produits. Les repas sont aussi très bien cuisinés. Un beau jardin entoure cette villa, ce qui permet de se détendre au calme en pleine ville. Très bon choix pour passer quelques temps dans la capitale tunisienne. Je recommande la "Villa des Palmes" sans retenue.

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.
