Farmville Barouk
Welcome to Farmville Barouk
Your Authentic Rural Retreat
Farmville Barouk, the key project under Cezar’s Projects, began in 2018 as an agritourism initiative in the beautiful Shouf Mountains. What started as a place for visitors to enjoy rural life has grown into a vibrant community project. We combine agritourism with community development, creating authentic experiences that connect visitors to nature, local culture, and the people of Shouf.
Farm Accommodation
Farmville Barouk offers a variety of homey accommodations, including farm stays and guesthouses, with space for up to 30 guests. Each stay provides a comfortable, authentic experience of rural life in the Shouf.
