Dar Antonia

Dar Antonia is located in the Sousse Medina ; a wonderful Tunisian palace, converted into a boutique hotel. It only has a few rooms, hence not a lot of staff and it may be difficult to find someone at times. The place oozes charm, but comes with some practical disadvantages : lots of stairs to get anywhere, open bathroom, open toilet, noise from other rooms, etc It has a very upmarket (= expensive) restaurant, where a sensational fresh breakfast is served. A great rooftop space with a "pool", but it is the size of a spa ; a superb place to have a drink, but it proved to be hard to order any, as they have to come from the restaurant, two floors down (by stairs). Overall, Dar Antonia is your best choice if you like authentic charm and are prepared to put up with the impracticalities that are inherent to an old building.

Clean, modern (European) style boutique bnb in Sousse medina. Ideal location, very comfortable bedrooms and roof terrace, attentive staff- more expensive than the alternatives, more sophisticated too. Excellent dinner with alcohol in somewhat small restaurant. Sousse offers a more intimate experience of Tunisia than Tunis. Don’t miss the outstanding archaeological museum.

Dar Antonia in Sousse is a charming oasis that seamlessly blends traditional Tunisian architecture with modern comfort.

Conveniently located in the Medina and walking distance from the beach, Dar Antonia provides an authentic Tunisian experience, making it a delightful choice for those seeking a culturally rich and comfortable retreat in Sousse. I keep comig back to Dar Antonia, what a place!

Such a pretty boutique hotel. Great location and quiet in the Medina in Sousse. Lovely rooftop sitting area for relaxing, drinking or dinner. Decor was really special however the beds weren’t very comfortable. The attached restaurant with the same name is fantastic. The best food we had in all of Tunisia. We ate dinner there 2 of 3 nights. Worth every penny.

All design and that's it. The hotel is highly styled right out of a magazine. The food is phenomenal. Michelin level. However, the person who styled the hotel should sleep in it. It is all design and ill conceived. Our first room the Honeymoon suite has a handheld shower with no place to hang the wand to take a shower. It is 2023 and we needed a shower after walking in the sun. Another couple in a different room wanted to switch with us since their friends were in a room with a toilet and no door. The three rooms all swapped. However, no one told us that the the internet didn't work in our room despite the listing clearly saying the internet works in the room. Further, our a/c didn't work and no one cared. The owner wasn't on premises and seems to think a person can run a hotel over the phone. You can't. We had no water bottles in our room to take our medicine and brush our teeth. The staff had no idea where the water bottles were. We also had insufficient towels. No one knew where they had extra towels. Whichever room wakes up first wakes all the rooms since the rooms are not sound proof contrary to the statement online. So, the hotel looks fabulous but that's where it ends. Go for dinner since the food is fantastic but do not recommend staying there.

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE!!!!!! The absolute worst service ever! After an extremely HOT day out in Tunisia, when returning to your room late at night for a shower and realizing the room has NO RUNNING WATER. If the place has no running water due to city restrictions, the bare minimum is letting travellers know about the situation early on and refunding partial of the fee. Instead, the owner/manager in charge refused to find any solutions for us. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE HOSPITALITY STANDARD.
