Sousse Kantaoui sea view, flower garden with trees

The host is wonderful. Helpful, friendly over and above expectations. Villa is surrounded by small but lovely,flowery garden. We found the beds hard but that's always very subjective. The spacious kitchen has everything you need. The TV is powered by the WiFi. Only downside is that it's a half hour drive to centre of Sousse and its museums etc.. But all shops and beach are only a 5 minute drive away from villa. You do need a car but it can be parked next to the villa which has locking gates. All very quiet.

We stayed at the villa for 18 days with our two young children. It was very comfortable far exceeded our expectations. Its spacious, clean and modern. Situated in a quite area, the owner leaves nearby who avails himself when needed. From the main road plenty of taxis (very cheap) are available to use to visit sites of interest. Local people are friendly and welcoming. The sea is nearby and its clean. Its awesome to hear the call to prayer. The price to rent the villa is quite cheap. I would strongly recommend the villa. Hope to visit again.

We arrived on the 9th November for a 17 night stay, We were picked up at the airport by the owner and taken to the villa, the villa is clean and had everything we could have asked for, with a fully equipped kitchen and the sitting room was very cosy, The owner was very helpful and told us to ring him if we had any problems, it is a short walk to the main road to get taxis or the bus, the grounds of the villa are fantastic and the view to the sea are great from the roof terrace, all in all we had a great time there and would love to go back some time in the future, there are a few great bars on you way into port el cantaoui, that are a must, just about 1 mile out of chott meriem. If you are looking for the traditional Tunisia then this is the place to go as it is a quaint little village. Thanks to the owner for a great stay.

We, an over-60 Anglo-French couple, rented this house for 12 days in May 2013, including one week with our daughter. The bathroom-toilet (washbasin, toilet and shower) is the size of a normal toilet and functions as a wetroom although not designed as such. Every kitchen surface has a sticky greasy feel to it. The front panel to the pots and pans cabinet hangs by a single filthy hinge and only appears closed because wedged shut against another panel. All pots and pans but one were too filthy to be used. No utensils apart from a corkscrew, plastic cheese grater and rusted whisk. No oven gloves, a filthy tin-opener that fell apart when we tried to clean it, jumble sale crockery and cutlery, filthy Rosières hob and oven, broken washing machine, kitchen door to the terrace impossible to open. When confronted, the property manager ascribed all these failings to the Revolution, made no attempt to correct any of them and said he’d give us a partial refund, but was unavailable on the day we left. The property owner, who lives in France, has not replied to emails or returned calls. The kitchen is particularly important in this property because there is no restaurant in the village or anywhere within even 15 minutes driving distance – Tunisia does not have a European restaurant culture. Abysmal welcome: bare mattresses, used jumble sale bedding, including sheets, in the cupboards, half a bar of soap in the bathroom, half a toilet roll, no washing-up liquid, no coffee filters, no welcome literature. Conclusion: an attractive and private house in a non-tourist location spoiled by an abysmal welcome, substandard bedding, a filthy underequipped kitchen, abject management and too small a bathroom.

Had a fantastic time felt like being at home had everything we needed and sousse is only a short taxi ride away which cost very little really enjoyed our stay and now consider it as home from home we travel out to tunisia quite alot and will always stay here from now on. Also would like to thank the owner for being so welcoming he was lovely.

Wonderfully quiet location away from busy tourist traps. Excellent beach with clear water and soft sand - ideal for families. Very friendly locals in cafe and shops. Well served by louage, bus, taxi etc for travel to larger shops/restaurants. The property had everything we needed and is in great condition and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner and his family.

A great place to live, host was very warm and helpful. The villa is superb, local shops bus ride away, friendly local people, amazing mosque near by. A perfect way to experience Tunisian life without being a typical tourist at a resort.
