House 150 sq. m in Batroun
5 guests · 1 bedroom · 4 beds · 2 bathrooms
Welcome to Saqiat al Hamda — a 180-year-old traditional Lebanese stone house in the heart of Berbara. This restored duplex offers a private terrace, cozy chimney for winter nights, and pool access just across your door. Stay surrounded by history, music, and comfort in a home that hosts up to 5 guests.
In the coastal village of Berbara, there was once a spring where travelers paused, neighbors gathered, and stories flowed. The area became known as Saqiat al Hamda, a place of rest and connection. More than 180 years ago, a stone house rose near those lands—its walls built to last, its heart filled with the warmth of Lebanese tradition.
Today, this historic home has been lovingly restored into a duplex retreat where the past and present meet. Inside, you’ll find two bedrooms (one with a king-size bed, the other an open space with sofa beds), two bathrooms, and two inviting living rooms. Step outside onto the spacious terrace, perfect for dining and gathering under the Mediterranean sky.
One of the treasures of the house is the piano of Ziad Rahbani, Lebanon’s legendary composer—an instrument that carries the soul of music within these stone walls.
In winter, the chimney glows warmly, embracing you with coziness. In summer, the pool just across your door offers refreshment, making it the perfect balance of mountain air and seaside charm.
Fully equipped for comfort, Saqiat al Hamda welcomes up to 5 guests, whether you’re seeking a family getaway, a retreat with friends, or simply a stay surrounded by history, culture, and the spirit of Berbara.
Come stay where stories have always been told—and write your own in Saqiat al Hamda.

Positive: The place feels so homey and inviting. From the moment you walk in, there's a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable. Every detail comes together beautifully, creating a cozy space that's both relaxing and full of character. It's the kind of place where you can easily imagine spending hours without wanting to leave.
If hospitality had a habit of overselling itself, this property clearly missed the memo. Usually, I arrive at an Airbnb expecting a subtle downgrade from the photos. Here, it was the complete opposite, the photos and description don’t give it much justice. The property is even more beautiful in person: peaceful, serene, and the sort of place that convinces you to slow down. The hosts were just as exceptional, welcoming us with such warmth that it felt less like checking into an Airbnb and more like coming home. The only criticism? I can’t move in permanently..
I asked for early check in or late check out no response at all since the stay is from 3pm to 11am in the second day. they sent multiple notification about to check out on time or a 50$ will be charged. i checked out at 10.55 thank god I owe them 5min. the major issue that they charge 35$ for every extra person to be allocated for breakfast. the worst and poor breakfast i had ever, knowing that the guest house rate is high
