Company info

Dar May is not just a guesthouse; it is also the story of a passion for the medina and its living heritage. By taking over the management of Dar May, Kasbahost continues its mission: giving traditional medina houses a new life by transforming them into unique short-stay accommodations. More than just a manager, Kasbahost is a committed actor in the preservation of heritage and the promotion of Tunisian hospitality.

Property info

Under the centuries-old arches of the medina, a door opens onto another era. Finely carved woodwork, elegant ironwork, period marble… every detail reveals the soul of Dar May. Formerly known as Dar Khojet El Khil, this 18th-century bourgeois residence has been carefully restored, bringing the beauty of traditional Tunisian architecture back to life. Between authenticity and elegance, it invites its guests on a still journey through the history and art of life in the medina, where every moment becomes a unique experience.

Neighborhood info

Staying at Dar May means fully immersing yourself in the cultural and artisanal richness of the medina of Tunis. Just steps from the house, you will be swept away by the vibrant souks, the grandeur of historic monuments, and the discovery of hidden treasures around every corner. Museums, mosques, traditional cafés, and artisan workshops invite you on a journey into Tunisian traditions, where modernity and authenticity meet along your strolls. Wandering through these picturesque streets, inhaling the scents of spices, admiring the façades, and listening to the stories each stone tells, turns every outing into a unique experience. Dar May thus becomes the perfect starting point to explore the medina and fully embrace the soul of Tunis, blending heritage, culture, and the gentle art of living.
