Review •

Who said that only in Europe you can stay in ancient castles?

We liked it
The history combined with romance, and the quality of the reconstruction, the balconies overlooking the landscape and the silence
We noticed that
As part of preserving the original structure - the toilet and shower are separated from the room only by a curtain. The kitchen in the eastern and western suites is shared and is located in the lobby between the suites.

When I talk about a castle you must understand that I mean a castle. Not for 'building in the style of...', not for 'design inspired by...' but for the real thing. castle. Completely authentic. 900 years old, to be precise, with a guest book that the first to sign were crusaders.

Combine that with the fact that there are 3 suites full of character, and the fact that the castle is located at the highest point in the vineyard from the Harel with a lot of Carmel and a little sea and a lot of silence, and a spacious yard - and you got a place that wouldn't embarrass the scene where Lady Marian makes eyes at Robin Hood.

Location and ambience

'How could I not have heard of this crazy place?' I ask myself as the car climbs up to the 'castle' between two rows of tall trees. About 14 seconds later, as I park in the plaza of the building, I feel all the skepticism I had about the word 'castle' disappear through my open mouth.

Udi, the owner of the place, can't stand the flood of questions I rain on him, as he climbs with me to the suites by steep external stone stairs (these crusaders had great fitness...).

Upstairs, a large, stone-paved lobby awaits us with a fully equipped kitchen for cooking, which serves two special "super" suites. "We renovated the place by ourselves with 10 fingers" Audi says and I think why the hell I don't have fingers like that either. Audi's fingers know how to do a few other things besides renovating ancient castles. He is an artist and furniture designer and when you enter the suites you immediately see it in a unique design, which blends perfectly with the vaulted ceilings, the stone floor and the alcoves in the walls.

And it's not that the outside looks less good. The castle is located at the highest point in the vineyard from the Harel and from the balconies of the suites you can see a lot of Carmel and a little sea and hear a lot of silence. The castle yard is also not a sucker and offers trees and areas of grass with seating areas where you can easily imagine the Lady Marian makes eyes at Robin Hood.


What does the place include

I don't know if it's the boy who built sand castles or the man who never missed an episode of 'Game of Thrones' but every meter in these suites mesmerizes me. Audi took the timeless experience to the end when he blocked the reception of the Internet and separated the toilets and showers from the suite space only with a curtain, but for my part, if he also forced me to wear knight's armor - I would not give up such an adventure.

The design message is based on a balance between splendor and restraint, authenticity and creativity, elegance and simplicity. Forget loudness, exaggeration and clutter which often characterize luxury complexes. The approach here is less is more and every design element is very sensitively adapted to the original style of the building. All this and more: soft, romantic and mysterious lighting emanating from the large windows here creates games of light and shadow on the ancient stone walls, highlights the niches carved in them, and illuminates the seating areas built on the window sill surfaces. At the same time, these spaces do not convey a museum feeling, frozen in time - but full of animals and the spirit of creation.

The suites themselves are beautiful, full of character and love for the restored original.
The first floor is built as an extremely large central space, a bedroom, a gallery and a large kitchen room, fully equipped and ready to prepare gourmet meals. The bathroom is modern and luxurious with a rain shower head. The floor can be rented as an extra large suite, suitable for hosting family or friends.

The second floor contains the two suites: the "western" and the "eastern"
The western suite is built on two levels - the central space with the living room corner, the sleeping space and a beautiful balcony, and a gallery floor where you will find a sitting area (with a "skylight" window that opens to the stars) and another amazing balcony overlooking the view.
The equipment is comfortable, aesthetic and luxurious: a beautiful double bed with a quality orthopedic mattress, an LCD screen connected to YES and an audio system, a sitting area and a coffee table, a wood-burning fireplace for warm winter days, a tea and coffee corner, and... a spectacular mosaic bathtub, which here replaces the 'The Standard Cozi.

The eastern suite is built as an open space decorated with large windows for the view, with thick walls and a stone floor that create here a mysterious and ancient atmosphere, full of sensuality and romance.
A unique color palette mixes delicate shades of pink, white - cream and golden brown. The sleeping area with a wooden bed in pink tones, a matching screeter under the window, a wood-burning fireplace and a living room area with two armchairs and a coffee table. Pay attention to a special sitting area built on the windowsill.

The kitchen in the eastern and western suites is shared and is located in the lobby between the suites. The east and west suites share a large balcony. In addition - to the west there are 2 private balconies.

You should know
  • The entire complex can be booked during August
  • Instead of original pieces of furniture and works of art, the owner of the place, the artist Udi Stoler, is responsible for all of them.
  • The complex is a few minutes' drive from the beautiful Bonim Beach.
  • A variety of attractions within a 10 minute drive (horse riding, hiking trails, paragliding, skydiving and more).
We left with a feeling of

There are not many places like this in the country, which make use of a real ancient building for vacation purposes. This is a rare opportunity to have a different experience, full of character, and in a great location that is not so far from the center and offers proximity to endless entertainment options.

I was very impressed by the castle of Udi Verli - it is a beautiful stone structure, and as its name suggests. The combination between being an ancient castle and its renewal was done gracefully while thinking about combining the new with the old. The suite is in one space with a vaulted and high ceiling and a stone floor, beautiful art paintings on the walls, an original mosaic table, sitting windows and a one-of-a-kind bathtub. Although we stayed in the eastern suite, I had to take a look at the other suites as well, and happily it was possible. For art lovers - a must visit. I also enjoyed the plants that decorate it - the bougainvillea that stretches in red and green up the stone steps, the pots in the room and the green balcony that overlooks the Carmel view. And also from the perfumery which included, in addition to special bath soaps, softeners, body lotion and hand cream with pleasant scents. Thanks to Audi and Larry for the pleasant hospitality. We had a great time, and it's a shame that we stayed for such a short time. We strongly recommend the place Shai and Hagar

Really a castle!
An ancient stone structure that has been tastefully renovated and preserved the original, you really have the feeling that you are living in a castle. The view is stunning and the breeze is pleasant at all hours of the day. Nice and kind owners. A clean, inviting and pampering place

The castle is an extraordinary experience
We stayed at the castle. My partner and I came to the castle on the recommendation of good friends whose opinion we trust very much and we were not disappointed. When we arrived at the castle the feeling was that we had left the country and we were in Europe, from the huge balcony of the zimmer there was a view of vineyards, fields and the sea and a pleasant wind blowing. The B&B space is particularly large and spacious and it is evident that a lot of thought was put into the design and planning of the place, in order to give the guests a maximum sense of peace and pampering. It was magical and special, we highly recommend the castle. Orly and Gil

Dreams come true
A pampering, relaxing and romantic experience in a historical site, a short drive from Tel Aviv. Stunning and quiet view, atmosphere of a European castle with a Mediterranean tone. Friends who had already visited recommended and we came together with them for shared accommodation (in separate B&Bs...). Feel the great investment and the touches The artistry in every point and stone. We look forward to the next visit, and send a personal thank you from here. Highly recommend (-:

Feeling overloaded with information. you have been warned

We saw the complex and spoke beforehand with the owner of the house. The landlord said the two suites were similar. The only difference is in the design
One has one balcony and the other two balconies. There is a kitchenette in each. The only thing that said there is no hot tub. That's why it looks beautiful and with the help of the contact we chose the eastern suite.
We arrived and were shocked. The bathroom and toilet are separated by a curtain that looks normal. The bathroom is not in a state-of-the-art condition and the toilet is in the shape of a hole inside a designed bench and the distance between them to the bed and the rest of the room is too small. The promised kitchenette is outside the room and also the balcony which was discovered to be shared. So there was no sense of privacy with the loose door either.. It's a good thing we didn't bring the dog as we wanted because the fine print says they must stay outside...
Beyond that it was not clean enough and we could see small evidences of previous guests.

I don't think the eastern suite is a suite and not worthy of a vacation and certainly not at this price! The owner could have given more information and recommended the more appropriate suite... We should have checked the fine print more but we didn't think that such a website would recommend such a place or the owner would mislead us when we specifically asked what was in the place and what it looked like. We didn't feel we could stay there and had to pay a high amount due to the cancellation.
Very disappointing
