a bed & breakfast located on the beautiful and unspoiled hill of Bkechtine in the Chouf region, historically the heart of Mount Lebanon, only 35 km away from Beirut.
In the villa, our guests will be lodged on the top floor which consists of two bedrooms, a bathroom and a balcony. It can be accessed from within the house as well as through an exterior staircase. This is where you will be welcomed by Ziad and Cécile, both nature and music lovers.

The location offers a panoramic view of the sea and the high mountains from every terrace
• Our house is surrounded by a large, natural style garden that includes many native species of flowering plants collected from the hill itself and from various parts of Lebanon, from seashore to high mountains
• The hill is well-preserved and offers an exceptional bio-diverse natural environment. Several paths crisscross the hill, perfect for runs, walks and picnics
• Green Escape is only a 15-min drive from the sandy beaches of Jiyeh, Saadiyat and Damour

Cécile writes as a freelance journalist covering cultural issues in Lebanon.

He has helped design and plant several gardens and is now growing native wildflowers along the sides of the road in Bkechtine.
