La Maison Des Sources
Guesthouse
La Maison des Sources is a traditional XIX th century house located in Ain Zhalta.
As most vernacular houses in the mountains, it was built in different stages and then abandoned .
The restoration of the house aimed first at analyzing and understanding its history before commencing the works.
The identity of the house was then revealed and restored by using traditional techniques in stone construction & lime mortar application, mixed to modern steel reinforcement where needed.
The interior design also preserved the stories & authenticity of the house, the old paint mortar finish was kept when possible and all the added wooden elements were recuperated items .
The result is a confortable modern guest house with the charm of its original XIXth century age.
