Great location

Guests who stayed here in the past year loved the location.
Tales and Fire, is a getaway in the Lebanese mountains and a private chilling space.
Located 20 minutes from the old city of Byblos Jbeil and 45 mins from the capital Beirut, the country house was created by a nature lover determined to help you disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with the earth and the skies.
The country house has a private swimming pool overlooking the mountains, a treehouse, a chimney and a bonfire which makes it the perfect experience for your well-deserved vacation.

The space
The house is made up of a living room with an open kitchen. It houses a chimney facing comfortable sofas. The kitchen is well-equipped (refrigerator, oven, plates, cooking utensils...) with a center table. The bathroom has a big tub with hot water available at all times. The first bedroom has a cozy king-size palette bed. The second bedroom has 2 single beds. Surrounding the house are big gardens with a private swimming pool, a 3 floors treehouse with a bar and a bonfire at the the ground floor, a big willow tree, hammocks and several outdoor seatings. There's a lot for you to experience at Tales and Fire, not to mention the magestic sunset view!

Guest access
All parts of the house are accessible besides the attic.

Other things to note
The house is eco-friendly, powered by a solar panel system. Electricity available 24/24.
Kindly note that between 12 am and 6 am, fans can be used instead instead of air conditioning only.

Please note that the pool is available starting May, as before this month it still rains and it's cold.
