Long ago, in the coastal village of Berbara, there was a beloved gathering place called El Mantra — where neighbors would come together under stone arches to share stories, music, and the flavors of the season. Surrounded by oak forests and touched by the sea breeze, it became a symbol of warmth, friendship, and community life.
Today, that spirit of togetherness lives on in El Mantra, a 180-year-old Lebanese stone house lovingly restored to welcome modern travelers. This open arcade-style home of 120 sqm offers a king-size bed, a cozy living area, a kitchenette, and a sunlit terrace that invites you to slow down and savor the moment.

The house is like a walking museum and a piece of art! The breakfast is the best we had! Patrica, Jenny and Laura are the cherry on top which will make me bring my mom again and go back. Best experience, thank you for everything!

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful stone house. The place is amazing and very peaceful. Tatiana and the entire staff were very welcoming, helpful and super nice. The breakfast was honestly the highlight of our stay: traditional lebanese yummy breakfast with fresh saj; it was top! We will definitely come back to enjoy the pool during summer. Thank you again for the excellent service!
