Dar El Zaytoon: A Breathtaking Retreat Among the Olive Trees

Tucked between the hills of Kfour in South Lebanon, Dar El Zaytoon is a hidden gem blending Italian flavors with Lebanese southern charm.

The place is surrounded by ancient olive trees, offering a breathtaking escape for those craving serenity, good food, and stunning views.

Inside, it feels like stepping into a different era. Vintage décor, antiques, and old photos line the walls, giving the space warmth and character. Outside, the vibe is calm and earthy. Tables sit under olive branches, with fresh air and valley views all around.

The menu brings together Lebanese mezze and grills with handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza. Go with whatever you’re in the mood for—you’ll still get to enjoy it with a stunning view either way.

Dar El Zaytoon is also a guesthouse, with 12 cozy rooms built for slow mornings and quiet nights. You fall asleep to the breeze, and wake up to the sound of birds and rustling leaves.

Starting Fall 2025, they’ll launch seasonal activities to keep you entertained during your stay. To bring you closer to the land and Lebanese heritage, they’ll be offering activities like olive picking, nature walks, traditional cooking, and yoga under the trees.
