Seminars, board meetings, product launches, company evenings, client dinners and weddings for up to 300 guests can be organized at Villa Didon, a boutique hotel with ten suites on Byrsa hill in Carthage, above the Punic port and facing the bay of Tunis. The hotel is about 20 minutes from Tunis.
Seminars and company events
Working sessions take place in Le Banquet, a daylight room away from noise, set up in advance for the chosen format. It seats 40 theatre-style or 25 around a U-shaped table, and can also be arranged as a single boardroom table. The room comes with a projection screen, a flip chart and a folder at each seat. Formats listed include seminars, board meetings, training, product launches, company evenings and business dinners. Coffee breaks can be booked, lunch is served on the terrace of Le RestÔ, and groups can move on in the evening to Le Perchoir, at a table facing the bay. Groups larger than 40 are directed to Le Perchoir.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings follow a set sequence: the ceremony, cocktails on La Proue, a viewpoint over the bay, then dinner in the salons or at Le RestÔ. Private hire starts at 60 guests, and a dedicated coordinator runs the day. The same service, called Le Sur-mesure, covers galas, awards evenings, anniversaries, press nights, fashion shows, photo shoots and filming. One space or all three can be booked for exclusive use.
Rooms and capacities
Le RestÔ takes 300 for a cocktail or 150 seated, with private hire from 60 guests. Le Light Bar takes 150 standing or 90 seated, and Le Perchoir, a terrace above the greenery with light garlands and rattan lamps, takes 120 standing or 90 seated. Le Banquet seats 40 for meetings. After an initial call, the team arranges a visit and a written proposal, and an events concierge handles suppliers, styling and the running order.
