It’s not often you find a hotel which ticks all the boxes and is impossible to fault. This is certainly one. From the warm welcome on arrival to our regretful departure a week later, we enjoyed a level of friendly, attentive and efficient hospitality which is all too rare nowadays. Maison Dedine is just what the name implies: more a home than a hotel – except that very few homes enjoy such opulence, comfort and abundance of fine (and often quirky!) artworks. ||Our superior room was the ultimate in luxury, with a stunning view of the Gulf and the marina in the foreground. All the usual five-star facilities were there, including bathrobes and slippers, gold-plated bathroom fittings, deluxe toiletries, a sitting area with comfortable chairs, an even more comfortable king-size bed with several pillow options, minibar, coffee-maker, kettle and wide-screen TV. It was fully serviced twice a day, including ‘bedtime treats’ on our return each evening. In fact, service throughout the day was perfect. Sana leads a truly remarkable team – always anxious to respond to your every wish. ||Breakfast was a magnificent spread – a wonderful range of Tunisian specialities, as well as, for the more cautious, terrific omelets and creamy scrambled eggs. Freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee were exemplary. Dinner is only provided by prior arrangement, but if they offer you a menu gastronomique from their private chef, don’t hesitate! It was a superb succession of 3-star Michelin-style dishes, perfectly balanced and expertly served. One of the best meals we have enjoyed anywhere, ever!||The location, literally on the seafront, is perfect, and the walk to upper Sidi Bou Said is easier than we expected. It’s a 15-minute stroll up a steepish, but quiet, road which turns into a cobbled street leading into the picturesque village. Alternatively, there are 365 steps from behind the marina. Or, for the lazy or unfit, there are plenty of taxis. Sidi Bou Said is, of course, one of the most attractive spots in Tunisia, and is worthy of more than a simple day trip. Maison Dedine is not just the best place to stay. It is surely one of the top hotels in...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of staying at Maison Dedine in Tunis, and my experience was nothing short of enchanting.
The staff, including Ons, Jhenin, Sana, and the entire team, demonstrated a level of passion and professionalism that truly set this boutique hotel apart. Keep on shining!!
During my stay, I fell ill, and the team's prompt arrangement of my medication from the pharmacy showcased their unparalleled commitment to guest well-being. Their attentiveness and care made me feel genuinely cared for during a challenging time.
The rooms at Maison Dedine are a masterpiece of tasteful decor, featuring bespoke furniture with eclectic, grand, and whimsical contours and colors that blend seamlessly. Tunisian art adorns the walls, and magnificent coffee table books add to the overall aesthetic, creating a haven of beauty. The hotel is impeccably clean and well-maintained, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea that resemble picture postcards. Waking up to such vistas was a daily delight.
The breakfast at Maison Dedine is a culinary delight, balancing fine local fare with a touch of elegance. To my surprise, the ladies organized an early birthday celebration for me, complete with a decadent cake, adding a personal and heartwarming touch to my stay.
In essence, Maison Dedine felt more like a home than a hotel. It provided the ideal setting for rest and rejuvenation. I am genuinely grateful to the team for creating beautiful memories during my stay. Maison Dedine has earned my highest recommendation, and I look forward to returning for more unforgettable...
Read moreWe stayed with a group of friends for a wedding, so the entire house was booked and we had a full service from the breakfast through the apéritif until the DJ set and dinner. The service was impeccable, the drinks came constantly without a wait, they have a wide range of choices (wines, softs, hard drinks) and the waiters are very attentive to details. The rooms were cleans and organized during the aperitif time so everything was fresh and brand new after we got ready /shower, bed, clothes, etc) . We even had a little good night setup with a little sweet. The decor is cozy and modern. Only Tunisian artists are exhibited everywhere so pay attention to details.. Nice pieces are squatter Ed everywhere. It's a feel at home résidence. The food is excellent, refined and original. The view is stunning, this is a heaven of peace. I don't understand the 1 and 3 stars... Obviously they didn't go to this place. Obviously if you book only one bedroom, you might share it with other guests. But an entire house like that is...
