Dar Ben Gacem Kahia
At Dar Ben Gacem-Kahia, the harmonious balance between history and modernity shapes an inspiring future. The splendor of this residence lies not only in the careful preservation of its heritage but also in a meticulous restoration that aligns with contemporary standards.
Located in the historic center of Tunis, this centuries-old palace was revitalized with a social and cultural purpose. By promoting a shared economy and engaging the local community, it acts as a cultural catalyst while doubling as an intimate museum for Tunisian ceramics.
As the latest addition to the Dar Ben Gacem family, this 17th-century palatial home features a stunning main hall perfect for prestigious gatherings. The room showcases breathtaking hand-carved stucco ceilings that look like delicate lace, framed by Kairouan-style Arabic calligraphy and rare, precious glass paintings on the walls.
The property proudly displays an extraordinary private collection of over 400 traditional pottery pieces curated by Mr. Hamida Ben-Gacem, celebrating the master ceramicists of the past two centuries. To honor this craft, every room is named after an iconic artisan. Furthermore, all furniture and decor are handmade by local craftsmen from across the country.
Dar Ben Gacem-Kahia offers eight boutique rooms and an independent apartment tailored for extended stays, artist residencies, or academic research. The rooftop terrace delivers a spectacular panoramic view of the landmark Sidi Mahrez mosque and the entire Tunis skyline.
