Exceptional

Stayed in April 2024

A unique guest house that’s wonderful in every way. Patrick is a genial, supremely helpful host — he even managed to get my iPad back to me when I left it behind. And within 24 hours — when I was a hundred miles away! His wife Sabrine is a Michelin star-level chef, and the dinner she prepares is something you won’t soon forget. A memorable experience.

This is by far one of the most special places we’ve been to. I read a review where one said it was worth the 500 km detour from Tunis, I’ll give you a better one: it’s worth a 4000 km detour from Amsterdam! The setting, the views, the amazing rooms, the village itself, the location, the hospitality and company and above all, the delicious dinner and breakfast. It was perfect from start to finish. Sabrina and Patrick, you have created something unique down there. Thx for everything. À la prochaine, insAllah.

Excellent dinner and breakfast, best dinner we had in Tunisia. Patrick is an excellent guy that welcome us warmly. His wife did a dinner with love and care. Beautiful decoration according the place, it shows exactly in the pictures of booking.

Our only compliant was the very bark-y dogs! but thankfully they were quiet during the night.

The food, the hospitality, the tranquility… we had an amazing stay here. Patrick and Sabrine offer something really special. Worth the trip and the stay for the dinner (and breakfast!) alone. A bit pricey for the region, but price includes half board (dinner and brekkie) and it’s definitely the most upscale place to stay in the area! Also they have a nice Tunisian wine selection 👌🏽

The house is beautiful and the experience was great. A highlight in our stay in Tunisia. Food was delicious. Both dinner and breakfast. Sabrina cooks very well and prepared us mouthwatering dishes for our two nights. Patrick prepared us delicious breakfasts. Together they form a great team! Patrick was so nice and lovely. Always making us feel comfortable and sharing tips on what to do on the surround area. We loved his sense of humor and already miss him. We stayed at the cave room. The room was even better than photos when we got there. 10/10 I would stay there again and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Tamazret/Matmata area.

One minor thing that could annoy some people bud didn't bother me is that they have several dogs that like to bark throughout the day but they were quiet at night. Also, you should know that there are some accessibility limitations if want to stay in the room I stayed in - stairs to enter and inside leading down to bathroom and you have to stoop over to enter but to me that was part of the charm.

What a wonderful and unique experience! I would love to return to visit Sabrine and Patrick again. The room exceeded my expectations in every category - comfort (oh that bed was comfy!), view, aesthetics, privacy, modern bathroom (sink, shower, etc.), quality towels and linens, very tastefully appointed- and like nowhere else I've stayed before. The food that Sabrine prepared was delicious. Pat speaks perfect English, French, German (and probably a few other languages) and likes to chat with his guests. I mentioned that I was interested in WWII history and he let me a very informative book about the many battles that occurred throughout the region.

Patrick and Sabrine have created an exceptional auberge in a stunning, unique location. It is world-class while being completely true to its locale. The food is magical, an the hosts are interesting and engaging. -David

The place is so unique and everything was excellent. The rooms were clean & very comfy. But the best was the four course dinner at night. Patrick & Sabrina are amazing owners!

The welcoming can be improved: we arrived 15hr (1 hour early as the rooms are available as of 16hr) and we were asked to wander around in the village till 16hr. The walk was nice, but they could have been more welcoming by offering us to use the generic part of the facility while the room was being prepared.

Perfect location, great rooms, excellent diner and breakfast, great stories from owner Patrick

We enjoyed the picturesque location, fine dining, and genuine hospitality of the husband and wife team behind this incredible restoration. They were very responsive to questions, offered suggestions for local businesses to support, and the accomodations were wonderful. A great deal of care and thought goes into this curated experience. Can't recommend it enough!

i can’t think of a thing.

it is a very small, intimate inn located on the hill in Tamezret among ancient dwellings and near the mosque. the views are gorgeous over the landscape toward the desert. the proprietors are genuine “hosts” who arrange everything and answer all questions - I have learned a lot from just chatting with the gentleman here. the rooms are fabulous and unique - as is the intimate dining room. unmissable, particularly the elegant dinner.

The food was not good, even the second night I was sick by the food. For me there's something wrong with the food conditioning.

The couple was nice and friendly, unfortunately this is not enough (see what I didnt like)The room was clean , but the bathroom was not well designed. The museum in the corner is exceptional.
