Close to the center with a real "vibe" of freedom
It's time for you to get to know Gani Yochanan, in the Rehovot area. Where else will you find half an hour away from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem a settlement that resembles a village in the north? There are open spaces, fields, and a lot to do here: breweries, boutique wineries, dairies, hiking trails, ATVs and what not. But the basis for your next couple's vacation exists in the form of a complex Special, with a real feeling of freedom, a great swimming pool and two suites that make you feel outside when you wake up.
The settlement itself is rural and green and the houses in it are embedded in estates and large areas. Shuli's property, the host, is spread over 10 dunams with olive and lemon groves (yes, they make olive oil, jams and juices here) and a strong connection to the land. If anything - then already: there are also horses lying outside.
A large gate leads to the entrance to the complex. I pass by the hosts' house and the pool (we will return to it later), arrive at a building that serves as a shop for vintage and fashion items, and arrive at the complex where the two suites are located. Everything is spacious and pleasant. Songbirds and parrots are raised throughout the complex and the feeling is very, very pastoral. The pool is right next to the hosts' house But it is built in such a way that it also has direct access from the compound.
The suites themselves are as mentioned in the quieter back part, facing the plantations through a large lawn. The distance between the 2 suites is enough to create pleasant privacy. There are also outdoor seating areas that create intimacy for those who need it.
It took Shuli the host a lot of time to set up the suites - "I don't know how to compromise" she tells me. This is evident in the level of equipment, design and even the planning of the kitchens. There is a lot of thought and attention to every detail here. The design is very clean and polished but with a pleasant warmth and human scale.
The two suites are similar, they are about 40 square meters and are intended for couples only. Each suite has a private outdoor area with a private heated plunge pool, sitting areas and lots of space. Thanks to the huge windows (there are also curtains for privacy and darkness). There is a bar counter, a very comfortable sofa, and a large bed separated by a low wooden partition. There are relatively narrow balconies that allow a couple to sit quietly.
The accommodation includes a tour and tasting at the local whiskey distillery
Usually B&Bs that are close to the center are characterized by urbanity, and something from the city is "infected" in them. Here it's the other way around - the place conveys a feeling of real freedom, spaces, and a special and personal atmosphere created thanks to a hostess who simply lives her profession with love.
