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.

We stayed in the authentic Lebanese loft room(Mantra), which had its own private entrance and a lovely terrace with a cozy sitting area. The experience was truly special, from the beautiful setting to the warm hospitality. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring a traditional Lebanese spread with fresh saj, foul, eggs, and homemade juices. The property itself is stunning, with a relaxing pool area and a charming atmosphere that perfectly reflects Lebanese heritage and comfort. The interior decoration is thoughtful and beautifully done, every detail celebrates Lebanese culture. Even the towels and bedsheets are special, high-quality, and reflect the same authentic touch found throughout the place. The staff and host were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. This was without a doubt one of our favorite Airbnb experiences so far. If I could, I’d give it 6 stars!
