Auberge de Tamezret

Environnement exceptionnel et extraordinaire. Expérience insolite. Gentillesse de l’accueil. dîner et le petit déjeuner excellents.

Je pensais que ce serais notre escale la plus insolite, ce fut une TRES GRANDE déception.

Nous avons fait plus de 5 heures de route dans le desert. Nous arrivons à 15H30, je dois insister pour que quelqu'un ouvre. Un homme, l'air bourru qu'on semblait déranger nous laisse sur le pas de porte et me répond que le check-in est à 16H00 et qu'on peut aller boire un verre au bar d'a côté. Quand vous verrez le coin pas facile de trouver un bar. Puis après m'avoir fermé la porte au nez je retoque et demande à voir l'intérieur. Il me fait juste passé la porte de l'établissement et me montre de loin la porte d'entrée de notre chambre et une dame l'air étonné de nous voir. Devant l'accueil très froid, aucune possibilité offerte pour se relaxer en attendant le check in, nous avons fui l'établissement et il m'a été précisé que je ne serais pas remboursé. Ce qui est le cas. Si l'accueil avait été moins froid et qu'on nous aurait proposé de nous reposer dans l'établissement nous serions restés.

De l’accueil en passant par le succulente cuisine, la qualité de la literie,…. jusqu’à la convivialité et l’hospitalité! Pour résumer :tout!

RAS

Wir wurden von Patrick, dem belgischen Eigentümer, der übrigens auch fliessend Schweizerdeutsch ohne Akzent 😊 spricht, ganz herzlich empfangen. Das Grottenzimmer Dahya ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bietet ein aussergewöhnliches Schlaferlebnis. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und die Ausstattung ist modern und funktional. Die Ehefrau von Patrick, Sabrine ist eine ausgezeichnete Köchin; das Abendessen sowie das Frühstück waren reichhaltig und haben ausgezeichnet geschmeckt. Es wird auf besondere Diätwünsche eingegangen. Auch die Weinliste mit den erlesenen Tropfen lässt keine Wünsche offen. Wir würden auf alle Fälle wiederum bei Patrick und Sabrine übernachten und können diese Unterkunft ohne jeden Vorbehalt empfehlen.

La casa la cucina il bagno il personale il terrazzo tutti...

Solo per dormire mangiare e riposare e chiacchierare

Una sorpresa tra le montagne semi deserte di Tamazret. Una chicca , raffinata e super curata . Ottime sia la cena che la colazione . Davvero un posto che non dimenticheremo . Grazie Patrick e Sabrina per il piacevole soggiorno .

It was our first time staying at a cave hotel, and I was really impressed by everything! The place has such great taste, and you can really feel the owner’s sense of style in all the little details. Not only the facilities, the dinner was fantastic as well!

Since it’s a cave, small bits do occasionally fall from the ceiling, nothing serious though. For us, it adds to the feeling of being somewhere totally different and special.

The views were incredible. The rooms were extraordinarily clean and neat and meticulous. Patrick and Sabrine were so welcoming and made us feel like friends stopping into their home rather than hotel guests.

Some people might find the open bathroom concept a little surprising.

An amazing stay and a truly one-of-a-kind experience! The property is full of character—immaculately maintained with thoughtful design touches, like individual bedside light switches. The warm hospitality and exceptional meals make staying here an easy choice. We especially enjoyed dining with other guests. Despite the language barrier, we connected with the French ladies at our table, with host Patrick kindly translating. It was a delightful surprise to have such an authentic French experience in Tunisia. Writing in the guest book with ink for the first time made it even more special. Staying here is worth it for the dinner alone—the most delicious way to taste camel meat and dates!

The location is lovely, in a beautiful village near Matmata. Perfect for a stop on the way south or as a base for exploring the area. The dinner and breakfast is exceptional, and served in the owners' gorgeous cave dining room that is stuffed with local wines, olive oils, honey and more. Really, there isn't a thing to fault - the owners mentioned long careers in hospitality before they opened L'Auberge and it shows - from the way the rooms have been set up to the bedding, everything is thought through. Strongly reccomend a visit!

Some of the rooms don't have the bathroom walled off from the rest of the room - this is something we also encountered elsewhere in Tunisia and wouldn't have been an issue, but worth noting if that's an issue for you.

Fantastic property, highlight of the trip. The cave room was a wonderful place to sleep and so well designed and finished. Dinner and breakfast were exceptional with high quality food. Patrick was an attentive and friendly host, giving us lots of details about Tamezret and Tunisia in general. Would highly recommend.

Patrick and Sabrina were very helpful and loving host. The place was impeccable and one of a kind. You could only see for yourself. Words cannot express how unique this place is. The dinner and breakfast were beyond standard.

Wow! What an incredible experience. The room, dining room and entire property is a fantastic display of what a modern version of typical homes from the area look like. Patrick and Sabrine are incredible hosts - we had a plan for our stay and Patrick ran us through the absolute highlights and route we should take - and he was right. We loved our two night stay and saw a lot on our day trip. Sabrine's cooking is phenomenal and easily the best on our stay in Tunisia. Breakfast is also amazing and has a great variety too. We learned a lot about the country and history while here. We will be recommending this to everyone and will be staying again when we return to Tunisia. Thank you Patrick and Sabrine.

None.

Exceptional

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.

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.

Beautiful place, care for details, friendly and professional, great food and know-how, just..... perfect. Thank you very much!!

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.

Nothing

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 👌🏽

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

Amazing experience! we had a blast got to meet other travelers and enjoyed the beautiful dinner the owners cooked for us!

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.

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.

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.

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

Rien.

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!

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

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.

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!
