The house of Spiritu, built in 1906, is a living tribute to Lebanese mountain heritage—a home of stone, soul, and peace. Once a family residence overlooking the Qannoubine valley, it has been lovingly restored to preserve its original bones: thick stone walls and arched windows that have stood through a century of seasons. Today, it welcomes guests not just as a place to stay, but as a place to feel. Each room tells a quiet story, each corner holds the warmth of something remembered. It’s a home where the past breathes softly into the present, inviting you to rest, reflect, and reconnect.
At the heart of Spiritu stands a majestic oak tree—more than four centuries old, its branches wide and knowing, its roots deep in the soil of Hadath El Jebbeh. It is the soul of the house, a silent witness to changing seasons, quiet conversations, and shared meals. Beneath its vast canopy, guests gather to eat, celebrate, dream, and simply be. The tree offers more than shade—it offers presence. It anchors Spiritu in time and place, reminding all who sit beneath it that beauty lies in stillness, and that nature, when respected, becomes part of the experience.
Dining at Spiritu is an invitation to slow down and savor the moment under the shade of a centuries-old oak tree. It’s where traditional Lebanese flavors are reimagined with creativity and elegance. The setting is both intimate and charming: stone walls, candlelight, laughter drifting through the leaves. Each plate tells a story of heritage yet alive with Spiritu’s own rhythm. It’s not just a meal—it’s a ritual of gathering, tasting, and reconnecting with the land, the people, and yourself.
