“Beautiful place to escape the noise of the city!”
The apartment and view is absolutely breath-taking, there are 3 bedrooms with 3 toilets. There is more than enough space for everyone's privacy. Everything is so well equipped and thought of. The interior of the apartment is beautiful. The serenity of the location is on another level. The breakfast was super authentic and 100% local!

We loved the location, the layout of the house, and the privacy. The facilities make the stay so comfortable with a lot of enjoyable outdoor space. The staff are fantastic. So welcoming and hospitable. The included breakfast is so generous and delicious. The balcony is perfect for watching the sunset. 2/3 of the bedrooms had ensuites which made the stay even more comfortable.

“Breathtaking view, amazing food, great people. Oh and amazing view.”
Everything about our stay (that matters) was perfect. The owner and staff were very helpful, their recommendation for dinner was amazing, the interior was a great mix of rustic, with stone and wooden building materials, and modern, with a fully equipped kitchen, solar electricity, hot water, etc.. The fire pit, hammock and swing outside were also a delight. The breakfast the next day was delicious and plenty! But if all of that was not good, the view itself would have made this place worth a visit! What a breathtaking place and lovely view of the cedars of Niha, the coast and the beach. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the sunset from the balcony. Finally, the price for such a stay as a couple was good, but staying as a larger group (up to 8) would make it a steal.

“Highly recommend.”
The location was fantastic. A very easy drive from Batroun and within minutes from the small town in the mountains you find this secluded home. We loved the silence and being amongst the Cedars. Facilities are outstanding and everything is very well equipped. A beautiful indoor and outdoor setting. Thoroughly recommend.
