" Sialo ("sky" in Spanish) promises and delivers: a lot of space for one couple, in a single suite in the complex, designed with an exquisite touch. The blue space begins in the sky and ends in the private heated pool. If you get hungry after swimming, you have the option of ordering a Kurdish-style dinner from the owner of the house, a former restaurateur who even fed the prime minister ... " [From the words of the critic, Or Ben Barak]
Location and ambience
Suite Sialo ("heaven" in Spanish) is located in Moshav Ein Yaakov in the Western Galilee. For those coming here from the Kabri intersection, it is recommended to reach the settlement via road 8833 - one of the most beautiful roads in Israel, which crosses a mountainous and evergreen landscape.
More than a decade of experience in hospitality, which included a successful Kurdish restaurant - which even hosted one prime minister - led Aliza and Shalom to open their own accommodation unit. They designed the suite themselves: he designed the exterior, she the interior, and the "white" result is interesting.
This white makes everything "breathe": the walls, the garden furniture surrounding the beautiful pool and even the roof of the pool. The calm colors are part of the motto of the owner of the place, Aliza. "The privacy and quiet of the guests is the most important thing for me," she explains..."
It is Aliza's welcoming nature that makes the hospitality experience in Sialo much more colorful. Her motto is that "the guests are family", so she will do everything to make them feel comfortable from the very first moment.
In addition to breakfast, Aliza offers guests who are interested a Kurdish-style dinner, with food just like in the restaurant she previously operated next to the house. Her menu includes kuvas in many colors and flavors and Kurdish-style kebabs. Regardless, unexpected surprises and treats can land on the guests. "If I just made a plate of cookies, it hurts my heart to eat it alone," she explains.
At the center of the large outdoor area you will find the pool (4x5 meters), which in winter becomes heated. The location of the pool - in the heart of the outdoor area of the suite and close enough to the entrance - is a perfect temptation for those who have just finished a long journey. Outside, guests will also find a large spa jacuzzi, a sitting area, and a large dining table.
The rest areas include a huge round sofa, a sitting hammock, sun loungers. On the west wall is a large, well-equipped grill station (which cannot be operated on Shabbat). The desire to provide privacy certainly succeeds: despite the not great distance from the neighbors' houses, the feeling in the complex is that of a private "island".
Inside, the accommodation unit is decorated in a modern style with touches of vintage items. It includes a very comfortable king size bed (2x2 meters) and a fully equipped kitchenette, with a coffee machine. In front of the bed is a home theater system, and right next to it is a spacious and well-designed indoor jacuzzi with romantic purple lighting.
The shower was ideally designed for a couple: it includes two sinks and two large rain heads, which allow a couple to bathe at the same time in comfort. Opposite the corridor leading to the shower is another, smaller bedroom with a double bed. This room is suitable for an additional couple of friends, but remember that the additional room does not have a private bathroom, and will have to go through the central space, where the first couple stays.
Bottom line: privacy, equipment, and pampering, but beyond all the small details, the main thing in Suite Sialo is Aliza's hospitality: an island of silence and privacy with a family touch
