Heritage house stays in Douma

Red rooftops and slow afternoons.

Douma is a protected heritage village in the Batroun district, known for its uniform red-tiled roofs, its horseshoe-shaped old square and 19th-century stone houses with triple arches and vaulted ceilings.

It is the quietest of our regions and the strongest for restored old houses. Days here are built around the square, the valley walks below the village and the drive down to the Batroun coast.
