Ecotourism Pick of the Week: Guita Bed & Bloom
Did you catch last week’s ecotourism pick? Let us know what you thought!
In brief:
Elegant courtyards, a traditional stone Lebanese home, gardens and outdoor lounging areas, it’s a beautiful dog-friendly space perfect for families and couples.
Editorial Purpose: We are sharing this in the hopes that you can discover the many hidden gems in Lebanon and learn about great local initiatives.
Boasting local cuisine, cozy rooms, and an awe-inspiring green estate, Guita Bed & Bloom has quickly become one of our favorite spots for a weekend retreat.
A 90-minute drive from the center of Beirut will land you in the peaceful mountainous village of Akoura where Guita Bed & Bloom is located. You can choose between a coastal drive to Nahr Ibrahim then inwards or an inner road on the Matn express highway and up through Feitroun. Both are equally scenic and pleasant!
What can we do there?
Guests can do as much or as little as they like, from resting on lounge chairs and lazying the day away or cycling and hiking through the mountains.
The space is ideal for families, groups, and couples. Kids will enjoy activities like tree climbing, football, and a bonfire while adults can enjoy the scenic spaces, drinking wine, hiking, and drinking more wine. It’s perfect for building lasting simple memories of just sitting around the table talking, taking in the scenery, and enjoying delicious meals in good company.
Best part? It’s dog friendly so you don’t have to leave your furry friend behind!
What are the rooms like?
Elegant, beautifully designed, and very clean. The well-lit rooms are the perfect meld between home and hotel. The laid-back design informs every detail of this space, from the perfectly mismatched vintage furniture to the themed rooms.
The common areas are decked out with comfy beanbags, hammocks, chaise-longues, swing sets, and picnic tables, all of which are beckoning you to grab a glass of wine and watch the sunset.
How about food and drink?
Authentic, organic, and delicious meals are prepared from produce that is harvested from the surrounding lands. Breakfast comes with the room rate, and they can make you lunches and dinners at an extra charge. Whatever you do, be sure to laze around in the garden sipping on some wine.
Guita Bed & Bloom will remind you of childhood summers spent in mountain homes, it is an experience drenched in nostalgia and one that is not to be missed.
