Itai and Yael were the perfect hosts. Welcoming, responsive and caring. Their beautiful property reflected this. Lovely garden, great amenities…everything we hoped for and more. If you are looking for a charming country setting to escape the busy-ness of the cities, this home is for you.
Everything we could wish for. Very high standard of furnishing and equipment, plenty of space and a garden which is amazingly beautiful and interesting. Hosts who went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. Would easily have accommodated more of our family if corona restrictions hadn't stopped them from coming.
Paradijselijke plek om te wonen dichtbij Jeurzalem
Zeer comfortabele woning vlakbij Jeruzalem, met veel rust en natuurschoon. Itai en Yael zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ik ben er nu twee keer geweest en kom zeker terug.
We were thrilled once again
to spend a few days relaxing at Itais cottage. The home and it’s enviroms are charming and tranquil. It is well equipped and looked after. It was not our first time and hope it won’t be our last time visiting

About the host
Your host
Yael and I moved to the paradise of Bar Giora from the coastal plain a few years ago in a second chapter of our life. The Walnut House, named for the 2 large trees in the playground near the house, was the original house built in the 50's by one of the first settling families in Bar Giora. We have of course renovated it completely and lived in it for two years while building the "Vineyard House" at the other end of the plot and planting our own young vineyard. Please feel free to walk up to us or call us if anything is missing, a question arises or any advice is needed. Please exercise common sense and caution when utilizing any of the outdoor facilities. We hope you enjoy your stay with us and will do anything we can in order to make your stay peaceful and enjoyable. Yael and Itai Halevy
