Our stay at El Patio Courtyard House was truly exceptional and a highlight of our time in Tunisia. Ahmed was an amazing host—warm, attentive, and incredibly responsive from start to finish. We arrived very late, and he personally waited up to make sure we arrived safely and were comfortable, which immediately made us feel welcomed and cared for.
The breakfast was amazing—fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. It set the tone for each day and added to the overall experience of the stay.
The vibe of the house was exactly what we were hoping for in Tunisia: authentic, peaceful, and full of character. The space was super clean, very private, and beautifully maintained. Being located in the heart of the city made everything incredibly convenient, with easy access to local sights, food, and culture—yet the house itself felt like a quiet retreat.
If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, authenticity, and outstanding hospitality, El Patio Courtyard House is it. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tunisia.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Ahmed was brilliant and even brought us breakfast the evening before as he knew we had to be up early for our flight home the next morning.

Fantastic little hotel w wonderful staff and nice breakfast. Ahmed was amazing. Surrounding area was really rough: dirty, rundown, and not very “médina” like I’ve seen all over the Middle East and North Africa. But little hotel was great.

It os a nice place with an authentic north African interior decore in the old part of city, Medina. Cars can not reach the hotel door and you need to walk about 5 min to get a taxi. In the area tgere are not many option fir dining, specially in the evening. Only one of staff speaks English, so communication can be difficult at times if you do not speakFrenchor Arabic.

We stayed for almost a week at El Patio and it was wonderful. From the arrival lemonade to the large and tasty breakfasts, everything was top notch. Our host, Ahmed, was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and able to help us with everything. The whole team was kind and very professional. The hotel itself was small (3 rooms), traditional and very comfortable, located on one of the principal streets of the Medina. As part of our itinerary, we moved to another hotel (5*, very chic) in Carthage for the second part of our holiday and, honestly, the service (and breakfasts!) at El Patio were much better than the second, more expensive hotel. We loved El Patio and would recommend it to anyone looking for a calm guesthouse in the Medina.

A unique experience. You are in the Medina and can walk in a straight enough line to the centre and the more famous souks. The only draw back is you are the Medina so car access is difficult so you might have to walk in and out with your baggage. We had back packs so no issue.

I spent two weeks in Tunisia and this was, by far, my favorite accommodation. The guest house is beautiful- authentic and intricate decor. The staff was beyond accommodating- we got in late and they made us a lunch (as we missed the included breakfast). The food was so delicious and they made sure that whenever we sat in the atrium we had water and lemonade.

The rooms were spacious, great water pressure, and comfortable beds. Super safe- staff on call 24/7 to greet you at the door.
Great communication and recommendations for the are. Would stay again X 10000

Cozy home away from home.

Lovely little traditional home stay in the heart of the Medina. The decor is very tastefully done and every little corner has a lot of thought put into it, which adds to the overall experience of staying in a traditional house. The breakfast is basic but a good enough start with eggs, croissant, breads and jam, coffee or tea. Khoula is a very sweet host that made our trip very comfortable. On the night of our arrival it was raining and she waited for us with an umbrella and help at the main road and walked us through the streets to her home. Without that help we would be lost for a good amount of time in the wet streets. We also decided to book 2 seperate day trips to El jem and dougga which were set up by her and her recommended driver. The price was fair for the distance and it was very convenient booking through her as she did the coordinating with the driver Mr. Adil. Overall a pleasant stay in a traditional home. We even extended 2 extra nights to explore the Medina a bit more and try some of the recommended Tunisian restaurants for dinner every night.

Property was close to medina, and the look and feel of the property was very beautiful and unique. Staff are very friendly and warm.

We stayed 7 nights so the breakfast is more or less the same. But our stay was still very comfortable, and enjoyable.

Great place!

Nice hotel, very clean and comfortable bed (that's all that matter for us anyway). Friendly staff, the hotel is located in medina. Area is not safe to walk alone late at night, which we think it is better to stay a bit outside the Medina as not is nothing happening in the Medina during the night.

For some reason they haven't changed our towels or provided us clean cups on our last 2 nights. Apart from this, it was a great place to stay.
