Since 1911, this mansion has been our cherished home. It all began with my great-grandfather, Hussein Beik al-Darwiche, an extraordinary figure and leader hailing from Jabal Amil; a visionary, a dreamer. Renowned for his discerning taste, he engaged the talents of local architects to meld tradition and innovation, infusing the house with Ottoman and Italian elegance. Today, it stands as a symbol of determination and living heritage. Dar Zefta is more than a home; it is the hub of art, culture, and tradition.
Dar Zefta serves as an escape from the chaos of our daily lives. Here, you can draw closer to the sun, basking in the allure of the iconic hills and mountains of South Lebanon and the Mediterranean soil. Dar Zefta celebrates the Art of slow living under the heartwarming Sun of the South, serving Traditional Southern Lebanese food prepared with fresh local ingredients mostly organic vegetables from our garden.
