What is the indication that accompanies a successful vacation? Not the extent of the equipment, not the beauty of the place and not even the food you ate, but whether you left with a smile. And to be precise: the mood that accompanied you there. And what is the secret to that small, satisfied smile? It is a very simple, logical secret and related to the fact that you chose to stay in a small and quiet place, and not in some hotel. And Gil and Tal "discovered" this secret.
After two very in-depth visits to the place, I realized that the secret is in the happiness of the hosts. Happy hosts = a place whose planning, design and service are done with heart. Not with attention, but with heart.
Their broad heart stems from the fact that they have fulfilled a good and pleasant dream. Because who among us doesn't sometimes dream of purchasing a property and planting a large grove in it? Yes, actually further south, on the edge of the desert, and if at all then let it be with a bonus of ten years of quality time related to the ecological construction of a beautiful hospitality complex. Well, so it happened to them, and the result is not something that can be quantified, or described in words. It is about the creation of an environment bursting with good energies that supports us, the guests, exactly in the place that is not calm in the soul, the one who is always looking for the "perfect B&B" - but is actually trying to find a place that will radiate peace to him.
Location and ambience
The natural way of doing things here has led to a very successful combination of rurality, deserts and quality. I purposely didn't say "luxury" because I'm sure that's not what they would want the place to convey. For example: the buildings are designed as desert cabins, but in reality they are as large and spacious as suites. The private pool is heated and beautiful, but built of Intex, not of some luxury mosaic at a thousand NIS per square meter. The ones who benefit from this are the guests, who receive very high-quality hospitality, but very relaxed and at eye level.
The estate of Gil and Tal Lefaz is located in Sde Tzvi in the south (near the Kama junction) and has four accommodation units designed for couples only. On no less than ten dunams are the three units "Laxita", "La Fantasia" and "La Lo". Each of the cabins was built by the hosts in an ecological construction that combines mud and hay and is designed with a lot of thought about privacy and the comfort of the guests with a lot of attention to detail. A private and closed area that allows complete privacy for the guests. The hosts live at the edge of the property and their house is not present at all in the hospitality experience.
What does the place include
The suites in the place were built by the hosts themselves from ecological materials and all of them have a peaceful and enveloping atmosphere. The feeling is of a good and special energy that is surely influenced by the use of natural materials.
Fantasy suite - housed in a beautiful and spacious arched structure, designed in a rustic-desert atmosphere and warm colors (earth brown and blue) and divided into two levels. On the central level there is a double bed, TV, sound system, fully equipped kitchen that allows full cooking, coffee machine, large dining table, wardrobe and exit to a large and private outdoor area. You go up to the upper level through wide stairs and it has another double bed, a round jacuzzi, a wardrobe and an exit to the balcony overlooking the grove.
The outdoor complex is surrounded by a wooden fence that allows complete privacy and has comfortable seating areas, hammocks and a heated and private swimming pool (Intex).
Lexita Suite - with an even more rustic atmosphere, with warm and relaxing colors and with a lot of care, this suite offers a spacious and pleasant outdoor area surrounded by a wooden fence that allows complete privacy. In the complex there are comfortable sitting areas (one towards the forest), a private heated pool (Intex) and a hammock. The suite is built as a long and pleasant space. At one end of the suite is a sleeping area with a double bed, drawers for storage, a TV, and the possibility of closing it with a curtain. In the center of the space there is a kitchenette that allows light cooking with a coffee machine, and opposite there is a living room and a small dining table. At the other end of the suite are a bathroom separated by a wooden wall with an opaque curtain, the bathroom and another bedroom with a double bed.
La Lo Suite - The suite has a fenced private yard, with a barbecue, a hammock, a sitting area, and a heated pool complex that sits on a beautiful thin covering, while by the pool there are pleasant sitting and swimming areas. The balcony and the garden are shaded and allow enjoyment even in the summer. A wooden and glass door leads to the uniquely designed interior, from the beautiful floor to the furniture and spaces.
The cute kitchen contains a refrigerator, coffee machine, microwave and dishes. Next to the kitchen, in a special niche reminiscent of hobbit houses, there is a sitting area where you can eat. Further on is the bed decorated with a veil, next to it is a cozy bench, and a nice bathroom with a wooden door.
The highlight here is without a doubt the charming niche where it has a jacuzzi bath that is also an open shower, with jets and pleasant lighting.

We left with a feeling of
This place is very different from the rural hospitality scene in Israel. This is a place that radiates positivity and a good vibe in every little detail. caresses and touches and finally penetrates inside. The service itself is influenced by the open and inviting presence of the hosts. The spacious area, the quiet, the excellent privacy and the relaxing atmosphere between the ecological cabins create quality, pleasant and special accommodation here.
