Yavnal is a settlement located in the lower Galilee, not far from the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River, and close to many archaeological and historical sites. The road to Restirok goes along a dirt path that reveals nothing about what we will discover at the end - a secret complex in the center of which are two intriguing guesthouses with large windows and tiled roofs, surrounded by a large lawn. The B&Bs have stylish pools, one built in stone, the other surrounded by a thin, rough mat. All around us is a mountain landscape and a row of olive trees that tell us that we can feel comfortable, because we are alone here.
Don't expect to find here a meticulous complex from an interior design catalog. This is the brainchild of the host who engineered, built and designed the B&Bs with his own hands. The predominant motif here is rustic roughness - the floor is concrete, the design items are recycled and the recurring motif here is rust (don't worry, it is coated and protected with varnish) - from which the host likes to create post-modern and unconventional art for over 30 years.
There are two completely separate B&Bs here that are within walking distance of each other. Everyone has their own privacy and yard, with a view overlooking the hills, and full of atmosphere that creates a different hospitality experience.
Boutique restaurant
The house is perfectly divided into four spaces - the well-equipped kitchen space that contains a large refrigerator, an electric stove, a double and intimate dining area, and a window with a view that is fun to cook in front of. In a separate space you will find the living room, with a comfortable and beautiful sofa, a wooden coffee table and a television, and in the third space is the bedroom with a luxurious double bed embedded in a wide wooden base, from where you can go out to the balcony and enjoy all the beauty that awaits you outside.
And what awaits you there? A beautiful, oval wading pool sunk into a thin platform with a direct exit from the bedroom, next to it is a pampering jacuzzi, wide lawns, olive trees (183, but who's counting) and lots and lots of spice.
Restyrock House
Walking distance from the first house, there is another guesthouse that tells a similar story. It has two bedrooms with double beds, and is adapted to accommodate a couple with up to two children. The bedrooms are bright and exude a pleasant simplicity. From one of them there is a direct exit to the pool and the view, so you can start the day with a super refreshing dip even before you say "good morning". In the living room you will find a wide and fun sofa bed. A coffee table that used to be a door and has been professionally converted is next to it. There is also a large TV here with an advanced sound system - definitely a surprising technological twist in relation to the general vibe. From the living room there is an exit door to an intimate balcony with a cozy coffee table by the pool.
When you want to cook, you can enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with a comfortable island in the center. The bathroom here is one of the most special we've seen, surrounded by glass windows and full of plants. Natural stones are integrated into the walls and the sink cabinet, and it is full of attention and creativity.
And what's going on in the yard?
On one side is a paved outdoor area with seating areas of various types, including a picnic table that enjoys the shade of a tree. On the other side, facing the view, is a rounded plunge pool, built of natural stone and inviting for a refreshing dip. Next to it is a pampering jacuzzi, a lawn and a cute coffee corner (the one you can also go to from the living room) with a fun view to enjoy with an afternoon drink.
