Discover Sidi Bou Saïd
Tunisia’s most iconic
blue and white village
Sidi Bou Saïd is arguably Tunisia’s most photographed and beloved destination — a UNESCO-listed hilltop village of cobalt blue and whitewashed architecture perched above the Bay of Tunis. Just 20 km from the capital and neighbouring the ancient ruins of Carthage, this extraordinary village has inspired painters, poets and travellers for over a century. Paul Klee, August Macke and countless others fell under its spell. Whether you seek a traditional house with sea views, a boutique apartment in the old village or a villa near the famous Café des Nattes, The Landlord offers unique holiday rentals in Sidi Bou Saïd with full concierge service.
Sidi Bou Saïd — your base in Tunisia
The village is built on a dramatic clifftop overlooking the Bay of Tunis and the ruins of Carthage. Its strict architectural code — blue doors, white walls, wrought-iron window grilles, bougainvillea — creates an atmosphere of timeless beauty. Every corner reveals a stunning composition of colour and light, particularly at golden hour when the village glows against the deep blue Mediterranean below.
Beyond its visual beauty, Sidi Bou Saïd offers excellent dining at the legendary Café des Nattes and Café Sidi Chabaane — the highest point, with the most spectacular view — quality artisan shops selling traditional crafts, and easy access via the TGM train to La Marsa beaches, the Carthage ruins and the Tunis medina, all within 25 minutes.

The neighbourhoods
Four areas,
four atmospheres
Sidi Bou Saïd offers very different experiences depending on whether you stay in the hilltop village, on the clifftop with sea views or near the beach. Here is how to choose the right spot for your stay.
Old Village Centre
- Ideal for
- Authenticity, photography, culture
- Atmosphere
- Blue and white lanes, cafés, artisan shops
Living in the heart of the old village means being immersed in one of the world’s most beautiful architectural ensembles. Cobblestone lanes, blue doorways, jasmine-draped walls and the muezzin call at dawn create a uniquely magical atmosphere. Within steps of the Café des Nattes, the main street shops and the hilltop viewpoints.
Clifftop & Sea View
- Ideal for
- Couples, luxury, panoramic views
- Atmosphere
- Dramatic cliffs, Mediterranean panorama
The clifftop properties offer the most spectacular views in all of Tunisia — the entire Bay of Tunis, the ruins of Carthage, Cap Bon in the distance and, on clear days, even the outline of Sicily. Our sea-view villas and apartments here are the most sought-after in our entire portfolio.
Residential Area
- Ideal for
- Families, quiet, authentic
- Atmosphere
- Residential, gardens, calm
The residential areas surrounding the village centre offer a quieter, more everyday Sidi Bou Saïd. Larger properties with gardens, easier parking, and a more relaxed pace. Still within walking distance of the village’s cafés and viewpoints, but removed from the tourist bustle.
Lower Sidi Bou Saïd
- Ideal for
- Beach access, yachting, water sports
- Atmosphere
- Marina, beach, sailing club
The lower part of Sidi Bou Saïd, near the beach and yacht club, offers a different experience from the hilltop village. Direct beach access, sailing and water-sports facilities, and a more relaxed atmosphere. The TGM station is just minutes away for easy access to La Marsa and Carthage.
Who it suits
Sidi Bou Saïd for
every kind of traveller
Whether you travel as a family, a couple or on business, Sidi Bou Saïd offers accommodation and experiences suited to every profile.
01
Photography & art lovers
Sidi Bou Saïd is a living work of art. Every angle, every doorway, every view is a potential masterpiece. The quality of light — especially in early morning and late afternoon — has attracted painters and photographers for over a century. Our concierge can arrange guided photography walks at dawn, visits to local artists’ studios and day trips to the Roman mosaics of the Bardo Museum and Carthage.
02
Couples & romantic stays
Few places in Tunisia — or indeed the entire Mediterranean — match Sidi Bou Saïd for sheer romantic atmosphere. Sunset aperitifs at Café Sidi Chabaane, dinner on a candlelit rooftop terrace, morning coffee in the old lanes: each moment feels like a scene from a film. Our romantic properties include private rooftop terraces, hammam facilities and personalised concierge service.
03
Cultural travellers
Sidi Bou Saïd sits at the epicentre of Tunisia’s greatest concentration of historical sites. Carthage (UNESCO) is a 10-minute drive, the Bardo Museum of Mosaics is 30 minutes away and the Tunis medina (UNESCO) is 25 minutes by TGM train. Our concierge organises private guided visits with expert local historians who bring the layers of Phoenician, Roman, Arab and Ottoman history to life.
