Location and ambience
Imagine that you have arrived in a small American village, with a European atmosphere and a view of the Galilee - because this is exactly the feeling you get when you walk on the paved path between the vineyards on the way to the impressive wooden structure. The Naftali estate stands in full glory before our eyes and tells its own story: it was specially imported from the United States to the Galilee, and has become one of the most unusual holiday estates we have seen.
What does the place include
When you enter the complex, you pass a large indoor private pool and a spa jacuzzi (also indoor) located right next door - both of which overlook the amazing view of the Golan Mountains and the Hula Valley. It's very tempting to stay outside, but it's even more tempting to know what's going on inside - a super quality coffee machine that brews beans on the spot welcomes us, and the smell of fresh coffee matches perfectly with the homely and warm atmosphere.
Naftali Mansion is built entirely of natural wood, the ceilings here are high and the space is ventilated and large. There are seven bedrooms spread over two levels, providing a hospitality experience with excellent privacy, even though it is a shared building.
On the lower floor you will find three rooms: a garden room, a garden room with a balcony and a room with a balcony with a view - each of which has its own private bathroom and toilet, a king-size bed with a luxurious comfort layer (paradise bed) imported from the global Sheraton chain, a sofa bed for children, a wardrobe Clothes and a big TV. All the rooms are spacious (the room without the balcony is a little more intimate) and offer a pleasant space for sleeping and staying in the room.
On the top floor you will find four more rooms: a room with a balcony and a view of the garden, two rooms with a balcony overlooking the mountains and an extra large suite with a balcony overlooking the Hula Valley. The two double rooms are furnished similar to those on the lower floor, and the large suite (55 square meters! The size of a private guesthouse) also has a comfortable living room area.
On the entrance floor you will find a spacious Milga living room, with super comfortable sofas that open up and turn the entire living room into a living area, an open dining area, a large refrigerator and a narrow but beautifully equipped kitchen for cooking - down to the level of spices. Along the floor are two pampering deck balconies - one with a sitting area and a sitting area facing the view, and the other adjacent to the kitchen offers an outdoor kitchen equipped with a sink, stove and gas grill, refrigerator, freezer and a dining area for a perfect fireside experience facing the view.

We went on a rural vacation abroad and returned within a two-hour drive. Naftali Estate offers a hospitality experience with a very careful concept, and is suitable for people who like simplicity and comfort without compromising on quality.
