A Home Four Generations in the Making
Beit Matar was built in 1886 by an Abilamaa Emir — a house of stature, crafted in the mountain tradition of hand-cut stone, soaring vaulted ceilings, and arched windows that frame the valley like paintings.
The Aoun family have called it their own since 1965. For decades it stood as a cherished family home, quietly holding its memories within walls that have witnessed generations come and go.
In 2018, Albert Aoun undertook a meticulous restoration — not to reinvent the house, but to honour it. Every original stone was preserved. Every arch was restored. What was added — the curated antiques, the fine linens, the contemporary touches — was chosen to complement the soul of the house, never to overshadow it.
Today, Beit Matar opens its doors to guests who appreciate the rare: a place where history is not decorative, but lived-in.
