It was a very comfortable and beautiful hotel. It was a night I will remember for a lifetime, and I sincerely thank you for the unforgettable meal.
However, it is a bit difficult to find using Google Maps, and there are no other facilities around the hotel.

We Will keep Le Aubergue de Tamerzret in our life as a place we will not forget .
A unique location with unique accommodations, serving delicious gourmet meals prepared by amazing hosts, Patrick and Sabrina. A must stay if you are ever visiting southern Tunisia.
Patrick and Sabrina's hospitality, delectable food, magical rooms, extensive wine list, and easy warmth should make this a top pick for you if you're anywhere near Tamezret in the Matmata region. Their place is intimate and comfortable, and Patrick was fantastic to communicate with. I have traveled extensively, and this was one of the most interesting and delightful places I've ever stayed. You shouldn't hesitate to book a day or six with them.
Patrick et Sabrine furent des hôtes de classe internationale !
Disponibilité & qualité étaient au rendez-vous. Impressionnant !
Merci encore.

Our stay at L'Auberge De Tamezret was truly exceptional. We really didn’t know what to expect but knew we wanted to try sleeping in a cave. This was certainly a 10-star, upscale, cave experience. Besides the beautifully decorated room, there were two additional things that made staying in this property unique and very special: Patrick and the food. First, we really enjoyed getting to know Patrick, the property owner. He was delightful to talk to and he created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Plus, he was always quick to respond prior to arriving at the property and his English is perfect. Second, it is hard to describe how incredible the food was at L'Auberge De Tamezret. We have eaten at 5-star restaurants that were not as good. Each course of the included dinner was amazing! Be sure to let Patrick know your food preferences and he will ensure you get a dinner you will still be talking about (positively) many days later. The breakfast was equally spectacular. We absolutely loved our overall experience here and we highly recommend it!
What an amazing gem of a place. Patrick and his wife have an attention to detail that makes your stay way above the normal visit to any hotel. The food was amazing and worth the visit on its own. Add to that fact that you are in a beautiful location with comfortable amenities-- and it makes for a wonderful and relaxing time. You will pay a little more than the surrounding options but it is well worth it. We will definitely be back.
C'est franchement imun incontournable si vous allez du côté de Matmata, la vue est magnifique, l'immersion est totale. Le confort est au top, le personnel aux petits soins. Et on y mange comme nulle part ailleurs en Tunisie !
