We noticed that
The living room and kitchen are shared by all guests of the mansion.
An impressive American-style country mansion, a private pool overlooking the Golan Heights and the Hula Valley, and an overseas atmosphere - in the spaces, hospitality, and design
Location and ambience
Imagine that you have arrived in a small American village, with a European atmosphere and a view of the Galilee - because that is exactly the feeling you get when you walk along the paved path between the vineyards on the way to the impressive wooden structure. The Naftali Estate stands in all its glory before our eyes and tells its own story: it was specially brought from the United States to the Galilee, and became one of the most extraordinary vacation estates we have seen.
What does the place include
As you enter the complex, you pass a large, indoor private pool and a spa jacuzzi (also indoor) located right next door - both overlooking the stunning view of the Golan Heights and the Hula Valley. It's very tempting to stay outside here, but it's even more tempting to know what's going on inside - a super-quality coffee machine that roasts beans on site welcomes you, and the smell of fresh coffee matches perfectly with the homey, warm atmosphere.
Naftali Mansion is built entirely of natural wood, the ceilings are high and the space is airy 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 for the view - each with its own private bathroom and toilet, a king-size bed with a luxurious comfort layer (the Paradise Bed) imported from the global Sheraton chain, a sofa bed for children, a wardrobe and a large TV. All 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 upper floor you will find four additional rooms: a room with a balcony and garden view, two rooms with a balcony overlooking the mountains, and an especially large suite with a balcony overlooking the Hula Valley. The two double rooms have similar furnishings to those on the lower floor, and the large suite (55 square meters! The size of a private B&B) 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 lounge area, an open dining area, a large refrigerator and a narrow but wonderfully equipped kitchen for cooking - down to the spice level. Along the floor are two luxurious narrow balconies - one with a seating area and a lounge 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 dining area for a perfect barbecue experience facing the view.

We left with a feeling of
We went on a rural vacation abroad and returned within a two-hour drive. Ahuzat Naftali offers a hospitality experience with a very meticulous concept, and is suitable for people who love simplicity and comfort without compromising on quality.
