Manot Shel Ahava

Dishes of love in the village of Manot

It is hard to believe that the rural cabin and the romantic suite in the "Manot of Love" B&B complex in the village of Manot in the Western Galilee -   Designed and built with his own hands by one person: Dekel, the owner and host.   The unique construction in the B&Bs "Dishes of Love" are the fruit of his dreams and the wishes of his heart, and when talent meets a dream - the result is exciting and surprising...

The two accommodation units in this B&B complex are very different from each other. The rural cabin is isolated and nestled in a dense forest, in a primordial atmosphere steeped in silence, nature and complete disconnection from the outside world. The elegant suite, which also contains a real Finnish sauna, is built above the guest house and gives its guests a panoramic view, pampering, and plenty of room to breathe. Well - what would you prefer? To help you choose, I will list the two tempting options:

"Dekal's cabin"

To get to the cabin, you will pass through a narrow "deck" covered with a pergola and surrounded by flowering plants on both sides. Already here you will feel the fresh atmosphere of the forest - soaked in the stimulating scents of nature,   In the bright colors of the raging vegetation, and in the pleasant and addictive silence.

The yard that is revealed to the guests is isolated from all the noises of this world and is open to the magical forest - just like in fairy tales. And in order to make the transition from the noisy routine of life outside into the land of fairy tales - small pleasures of calm, peace and romance await guests here - a spacious and comfortable swing, a picnic table, a barbecue and many cozy corners.

The design of the interior of the cabin combines a line of pastoral rusticity with the "craziness" of Dekal. Sweet old advertisement poster pictures, Moroccan lampshades and bowls, iron furniture (the work of Dekal) - all "live" here in harmony with massive wooden furniture   while creating a sense of "free style" that well expresses the host's individual concept of design and hospitality.

The effect of the cabin's warm and embracing atmosphere is felt immediately. This is a perfect place to create romantic memories, ones that will accompany the couple for many years... to huddle together in front of a movie and feel the heat of the antique fireplace, or maybe pamper yourself together in the round jacuzzi and feel together what it's like to be in the middle of nowhere...

"Dishes of Love" suite

The spacious suite was inspired by the Knights of the Round Table. It is a space with round walls lit by many large windows. A spiral staircase that Dekal built himself leads to the entrance.

The huge space boasts a high domed ceiling made of light wooden beams, a massive entrance door with heavy carving, a huge handmade fireplace, special lighting fixtures - all these give the place a feeling of a medieval castle. And if you have reached the castle - you will surely want to play a brave knight and a magical princess - the most romantic game of all...

In addition to the atmosphere from the "movies"   The suite offers its guests plenty of pampering for the body: what could be more enjoyable than the huge king size bed (200/200), a dry Finnish sauna and a huge rectangular jacuzzi? Espresso machine, and full of surprises. :). The great wizard Merlin (or Dekal, in his physical name) will already take care of all these.

Here too, as in the cabin, the personal "touch" of the host is evident. To "break" the heavy ancient atmosphere, Dekel added light decorative elements, such as retro-style posters, decorations on the walls, urns, rugs and pieces of textiles. An eclectic atmosphere is created that mixes styles and makes the space fascinating, colorful and surprising.

The huge balcony of the suite seems to be added to the spacious interior and doubles the area of the castle. It is a perfect place for a rich meal or morning coffee, and the covered shed in the center will allow guests to enjoy fresh air in all weathers.

In conclusion:

The B&B complex "Dishes of Love" offers two interesting options for a spectacular stay in the heart of the Galilee: a rustic cabin with an emphasis on nature and solitude versus a spacious knight's suite full of pampering. It's hard to go wrong when it comes to such tempting offers. I would call this a WIN-WIN SITUATION .
