Question 1

How do I book a room?

Accepted Answer

Booking is direct. Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and the room you have in mind, and we will confirm availability and hold your stay. No third-party platforms, no booking fees — you deal with us directly.

Question 2

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Accepted Answer

Check-in is from 2:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you are arriving early or leaving late, message us ahead of time and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Question 3

How many people can stay in a room?

Accepted Answer

Each of the six rooms is set up comfortably for two guests. If you are travelling as a group and want several rooms, let us know and we can arrange adjoining or nearby rooms where possible.

Question 4

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

For most stays we ask for a small deposit to confirm the booking, with the balance settled on arrival. We will walk you through the details when you message us.

Question 5

Which rooms have private pools?

Accepted Answer

Three rooms have private pools on their own terrace: Mercurio, Marte, and Urano. Mercurio and Marte have fully private pools; Urano has access to a shared pool on the property. The other three rooms — Venere, Saturno, and Giove — trade the pool for elevation and wider sea views.

Question 6

Do all rooms have a sea view?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every one of the six rooms faces the Mediterranean. The difference between them is height and outdoor space — some have private pools, others have large balconies or terraces higher up the building.

Question 7

What is in each room?

Accepted Answer

Every room has air conditioning, a private bathroom, a kitchenette for breakfast and drinks, free WiFi, a smart TV, and sea views. Specific features like private pools, balconies, and terraces vary by room.

Question 8

Is there a kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Each room has its own kitchenette — enough for breakfast, coffee, and a late drink. For full meals, Batroun’s restaurants are a short drive down the hill.

Question 9

Where exactly is Via Lattea?

Accepted Answer

Via Lattea is in Thoum, a village in the hills above Batroun in North Lebanon. It sits high on the slope with open sea views, about 45 minutes north of Beirut and a few minutes from the Batroun coast.

Question 10

How do I get there from Beirut?

Accepted Answer

It is roughly a 45-minute drive from Beirut — straight up the coastal highway toward Batroun, then a short climb into the hills of Thoum. We will send directions and a map pin when you book.

Question 11

Is there parking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, free parking is available on site for guests.

Question 12

Do I need a car?

Accepted Answer

A car makes the stay easier — the beaches, old town, restaurants, and wineries are all a short drive away. If you would rather not drive, we can help arrange taxis or transfers.

Question 13

Are pets allowed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, well-behaved pets are welcome. Let us know in advance so we can prepare for them.

Question 14

Is Via Lattea good for couples?

Accepted Answer

Very much so. The rooms are designed for two, the sea views and private pools make it a quiet, romantic base, and the whole property has a calm, grown-up feel.

Question 15

What is the best time of year to visit?

Accepted Answer

Late spring through early autumn is ideal for the pools and the sea — warm days, long sunsets, and swimming weather. The shoulder seasons are quieter and still beautiful if you prefer calm over crowds.

Question 16
