Romantic hotel, great food, good service

Highly recommended for couples. French style romantic boutique hotel. Penthouse was beautiful although it seemed that its balcony is not done renovation. Super nice service in all facilities, wonderful breakfast and dinner. Small heated pull which is great way to spend Saturday when everything in Safed is close

Day to relax.

At arrival we received a warm welcome, and full explanation about the hotel and spa. The room was clean and very comfortable. In the evening we had dinner in the restaurant of the hotel. There was a wide choice of meat and vegetables, all prepared very well. The same for breakfast. All are good reasons to return to this Nice place.

A nice place to stay in Tzfat

Two room suite with 2 bathrooms and a private front yard. Brand new suite and very well furnished. Included fridge, coffee maker, excellent tv, very comfortable bed, exceptional closets. Pool was closed after summer and no jacuzzi, but wonderful spa center for massages. Nice breakfast. Lots of steps to climb to get up to the hotel from parking.

Enjoyable, but also a little disappointing

This is a beautiful play to stay but a long way from the old city of Safed so be aware that you will need to take a taxi or public transport to get there and back to places of interest and for shopping. Also, there are about 40 steps just to get to the front entrance . Our room was nice but not the one that was pictured as in my booking. It was much smaller with a tiny window . Breakfast was the highlight with the lady chef preparing our meal and other patrons one table at a time. The breakfast was bountiful and fresh and we couldn’t finish it all. Overall, I wouldn’t pay the amount I did unless I was given the room that I thought that I was paying for and also because it was a long way from town .

Beautiful boutique hotel with art works of French impressionists hanging all over the hotel and cozy perfectly trimmed small garden. Spectacular views around the hotel and across the street. Scenic view overlooking the town of Zefat from the mountain. Close proximity to the central streets of the city, 10 min of driving.

This is a beautiful and relaxing property. It would be ideal for a company leadership offsite meeting. The manager went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. It is also a very nice place for a romatic getaway.

Not recommended.

They gave one of my guests from abroad, the wrong room, which was not clean. Check in took forever. Breakfast starts only on 8am, which is very late, and although we paid for it, we didn't eat, because of our itinerary. NO WIFI! Room was fine and Shower is good

Great retreat

For my husband and I this was a real gem of a hotel. It is located up on the side of a mountain with wonderful views. It was nestled in quiet gardens with a lovely pool. Our room was small but comfortable. The hotel is decorated in a French decor style. Very relaxing and comfortable. There is a wonderful restaurant only minutes away by car. To stay here you need a car. The old town is just a few minute drive but parking is difficult. We would stay here again
