Step into the enchanting world of SNOUNOU, where rural charm meets authentic Lebanese hospitality. Nestled in the heart of Chatine village, amid the breathtaking heights of Batroun caza, SNOUNOU beckons travelers on a journey of discovery, promising to unveil the rich tapestry of Lebanon’s rural heritage.
Eight years ago, SNOUNOU emerged as a beacon of rural tourism, dedicated to showcasing Lebanon’s traditions, majestic mountains, verdant landscapes, and delectable rural cuisine to both locals and visitors from afar. More than just a destination, SNOUNOU is a testament to sustainable development, offering seasonal employment opportunities, particularly for local women, and championing the rural micro-economy by sourcing directly from local producers, thereby reducing the carbon footprint.
Embracing a holistic approach, SNOUNOU intertwines environmental consciousness with a celebration of Lebanon’s historical and mountainous legacy. Each activity curated for the 2024 season is a testament to this ethos, inviting participants to immerse themselves in a series of rural days, each focusing on a unique theme. From leisurely walks amidst nature’s splendor to hands-on workshops on the land, where planting and picking rituals come to life with the changing seasons, every moment is infused with the essence of rural living.
As the sun reaches its zenith, guests are treated to a feast for the senses, with lunch served in SNOUNOU’s picturesque premises. Here, a table laden with local delicacies and homemade desserts awaits, accompanied by the warming embrace of arak and wine. It’s a moment of serenity and camaraderie, where stories are shared and memories are forged against the backdrop of Lebanon’s timeless landscapes.
Beyond the structured calendar, SNOUNOU offers tailored tours for groups of 15 or more, ensuring a personalized experience for every guest. And while accommodations are not yet available onsite, SNOUNOU’s vision for the future includes plans for lodging. In the meantime, nearby guesthouses and trusted hotels provide a comfortable retreat for those seeking to prolong their rural escapade.
Join us on a voyage of discovery, as we unravel the soul of Lebanon’s heritage, one mountain peak and rural idyll at a time.
