Dar Ayed Tamezret

Once of the better hotels if you plan to stay overnight in this region. Very close to the town of Matmata this is in a deserted village of Tamezret. Rooms are tastefully done up and ethnic but tiny. They have a small Tower that gives you a 360 degree view of the area. There is a cafe but meals might need to be booked in advance. The staff are pleasing and my stay was pleasant.

WOW. Dar Ayed was easily my favorite experience during my 2 week stay in Tunisia. My friends and I arrived in the evening after a long day of driving through the desert. Arriving at Dar Ayed was like arriving at a beautiful gem of an oasis in the middle of the desert. The rooms are soo huge and spacious and the interior detailing is authentic and beautiful. I couldn’t stop taking photos. The staff is so kind and made us feel so comfortable and at home. They were there for anything we needed. The dinners and breakfasts were delicious and some of the best we’ve had in our entire stay in Tunisia. They source all their food locally from their small farm and from the nearby towns of Tamezret and Matmata which is something I really loved. The pool is also so beautiful with a view of the vast desert surrounding. The location is perfect to explore Douz, Matmata, and even the Berber museum is just walking distance away. I really cannot wait to be back here soon :)

Je recommande vivement la maison d'hôte. Le personnel est accueillant et très sympathique et les propriétaires sont très gentils. Les appartements sont propres, la nourriture est excellente et il y a plusieurs activités que l'on peut faire (pétanque, fléchettes, piscine...).
