Discover Sidi Bou Said — Tunisia’s most iconic blue and white village
Sidi Bou Said 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 Cafe des Nattes, The Landlord offers unique holiday rentals in Sidi Bou Said with full concierge service.
Sidi Bou Said — 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 Said offers excellent dining at the legendary Cafe des Nattes and Cafe 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, Carthage ruins and Tunis medina — all within 25 minutes.
Why book with The Landlord in Sidi Bou Said?
The Landlord offers a carefully curated selection of houses and apartments in Sidi Bou Said, from traditional dars with private rooftop terraces to modern apartments with panoramic sea views. Each property is personally selected for its location, charm and comfort. Concierge service, private chef and guided tours of Carthage are available on request.

Best neighbourhoods in Sidi Bou Said for your holiday rental
Sidi Bou Said 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, cafes, 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 Cafe 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 Said. Larger properties with gardens, easier parking, and a more relaxed pace. Still within walking distance of the village’s cafes and viewpoints, but removed from the tourist bustle.
Lower Sidi Bou Said
Ideal for: Beach access, yachting, water sports
Atmosphere: Marina, beach, sailing club
The lower part of Sidi Bou Said, 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.
Sidi Bou Said for every type of traveller
Whether you travel as a family, couple or on business, Sidi Bou Said offers accommodation and experiences suited to every profile.
Photography & Art Lovers
Sidi Bou Said 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.
Stay with The Landlord and our concierge can arrange guided photography walks at dawn, visits to local artists’ studios and day trips to the Roman mosaics of Bardo Museum and Carthage.
Couples & Romantic Stays
Few places in Tunisia — or indeed the entire Mediterranean — match Sidi Bou Said for sheer romantic atmosphere. Sunset aperitifs at Cafe 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 in Sidi Bou Said include private rooftop terraces, hammam facilities and personalised concierge service for a truly memorable stay.
Cultural Travellers
Sidi Bou Said 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 accessible in 25 minutes by TGM train.
Our concierge team organises private guided visits to all the major sites, with expert local historians who bring the layers of Phoenician, Roman, Arab and Ottoman history to life.
