Above the sea in Batroun
High enough for the view, close enough to everything. The hills of Thoum on one side, the whole Mediterranean on the other.
Thoum, in the hills of Batroun
Via Lattea sits in Thoum, a quiet village set into the hills above the Batroun coast in North Lebanon. The building is high on the slope, so every room looks west over the rooftops and out to the open sea.
It is the kind of place that feels remote without being far from anything. The beaches and the old town are minutes down the hill, Beirut is a 45-minute drive, and the wine country and mountains are an easy afternoon inland.

Minutes from the coast, the town, and the table
The Coast & Beaches
Batroun’s rocky swimming spots, beach clubs, and the old Phoenician sea wall are a short drive down the hill.
Batroun Old Town
Stone alleys, the souk, lemonade stalls, churches, and the harbour — the heart of one of the oldest towns in the world.
Restaurants & Cafés
Seafood on the water, mountain mezze, and the bars and cafés that make Batroun a summer destination.
Wineries & Hills
The Batroun wine country and terraced hills sit just inland, an easy afternoon out from the guesthouse.
Beiteddine & North
The wider north — Byblos, the Qadisha Valley, and the cedars — are all within day-trip range.
Beirut
The drive from the capital is a straight shot up the coastal highway, then a short climb into the hills.
