AL HAUSH 📍 BEKAA
A perfect family getaway in Lebanon doesn’t exi…. Oh yes, it exists!
Located in a very special part of the Beqaa Valley, this is the true definition of a dream vacation. Al Haush is an elegant Agro guesthouse and a working farm in Central Bekaa. Initially, it used to be a family-owned farm, and then they decided to transform it into a guesthouse.
In this beautiful area in Lebanon, communities were distributed in villages consisting of mud houses separated by a courtyard, called "haushs" in Arabic, where the farmers lived with their families, their livestock, and their crops. & this is exactly what Al Haush’s central theme is! to offer you a unique experience - a farm vacation.
There are 16 rooms in all, the interior is very simple because most of the rooms were once stables for horses. The rooms are mid-sized, not very big. And all of them have extra beds in case more than 2 people are staying. The rooms are clean and well-maintained but I didn't like the paintings on the walls at all so I took them off for the pictures.
There are many activities for children to enjoy, such as game feeding and cooking classes. They also have a great restaurant with delicious food and 2 pools just for families and adults. Al Hauch is really magical, especially with its insane space, its magnificent views over the Bekaa valley, and the authentic farm life you get to experience. You get to sleep in a room that used to be a horse stable. How fantastic is that? The place also has Tuscan vibes!
They have a restaurant where you can have lunch and dinner, the menu is actually limited but the food was super delicious! But quite expensive. We tried the roasted cauliflower, chicken breast with mustard, and lamb chops. Breakfast is included in the room fee, it was good but I expected something more special. But what I didn't like was that they don't have a normal coffee maker, they just bring coffee in plastic cups. The staff was friendly, but sometimes not very attentive. The nicest guy was Wahab, he was really helpful.
Overall, we really loved our stay at such a unique place and it’s definitely a perfect place for kids since there are many activities for them (like cooking classes, animal feeding, etc.) I recommend enjoying a family or couple getaway there!
