Inviting B&Bs with a pool, a view of Mount Meron straight from the balcony and entertainment for children - Bar Yohai Manor is a place to spend time with the whole family.
Location and ambience
Not far from Safed, the religious-national settlement of Bar Yohai is located. In a quiet neighborhood of villas you will find the Bar Yohai estate, which consists of four B&Bs and a villa. There are plenty of facilities and games for children, a pool that will only be at your disposal during certain hours so that you will have complete privacy, a beautiful view of Mount Miron and lots of pleasant outdoor seating areas.
What does the place include
B&Bs:
Bar Yohai Estate has 4 B&Bs designed for families. Two of them are located on the lower floor on one side of the guest house, and the other two (the newer ones) are reached by going up a flight of stairs that goes straight from the parking lot. There is a connecting door between every two guest houses and it is recommended to rent them together.
The guest houses on the lower floor are near the pool - in their yard you will find plenty of swings, hammocks, and pleasant sitting areas. One B&B is two-story, with a gallery floor where the couple's sleeping area is located. The guest house next to it is one-story, has a separate double bedroom, and its bathroom has a bathtub that is also a pleasant double jacuzzi. Children will be able to sleep on sofas that open into beds.
The other two guest rooms are located on the upper floor, and access to them is via a flight of stairs.
At the entrance to this floor there is a closed space used as a dining room, with a refrigerator and a sink, surrounded by windows through which the view of Mount Miron can be seen. These are newer B&Bs in design, and are identical to each other. They have an adjacent outdoor complex with a barbecue area, seating areas, hammocks, facilities for children and an open view from the balcony towards Mount Miron.
In their interior you will find a double bedroom, and another separate bedroom for children. In the bathroom you can enjoy a spacious jacuzzi that is also used as a bath.
The villa :
The villa in the complex is the home of the hosts, and it is rented (without their personal equipment) at certain times of the year: during the period "between the times", in Lag B'Omer, and during Passover.
The villa has 4 bedrooms, two double, and two for children. One room is the master room with a private bathroom, and the other three share another and super designed bathroom, with impressive 1x1 meter black ceramic tiles combined with golden faucets, and a transparent shower.
In general, it can be said that the villa is very spacious, properly equipped and enjoys a kitchen where you can bake 3 cakes at the same time if you want, simply because it has no less than three ovens.
A large dining area will allow you to have pleasant shared meals, and in the living room you can relax and watch your favorite series together.
The yard of the villa is full of games for children including a trampoline, and it has a pleasant sitting area, a dining area and another covered and elegant sitting area under the white gazebo.
The pool is a few steps away and you can enjoy it in privacy, with a key you will receive for hours of use that are only yours.
