Barkata Mitham Nofesh Balilee

The special feeling in "Barkhta" penetrated me from the stage of parking the car and I entered through the (very special) gate of this complex. 2 B&Bs are built here, adjacent to each other, but with a smart separation that allows for maximum privacy. The hosts also live in the complex, in a housing unit surrounded by a wooden wall. In the complex there is also a separate accommodation villa located at the end of the complex, quite isolated.

As soon as I enter the gate, a stone path leads me from the entrance hall to the two suites. On both sides of the path flows a stream of water whose wading water becomes the "sound of the house" every moment of my stay. Around, in every corner, magical ornamental vegetation is scattered. The very high-quality interior design is pure oriental, where attention to every detail is evident.

The suites sit in a natural grove of these trees, laurel and oak that protect them with their branches, and the combination of a natural grove with stone construction (which was brought from Hebron) and a ceiling of wooden beams, is simply beautiful. The whole complex and all its components were built by the host with his own two hands with enormous talent.

The two suites offer oriental comfort, and differ from each other only in their courtyards: - in "Shoham" there is a swimming pool and in "Ahalma" you will find a wading pool ("Ahalma" - name of a crystal stone from the stones of the chest). The first look at the suites yielded walls with niches, ornaments from the east, sitting areas in Moroccan style, and a double hammock that completes the relaxed feeling. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking. Opposite, there is a raised dining area with two high bar stools, and a comfortable lounge corner. Next to the bed is a huge double jacuzzi that looks out through the glass wall to the natural forest. In winter there is a high-quality oil fireplace. The shower is quite spacious.

The villa itself is very homely and the warm design explains that a loving family with good taste once lived here. The surrounding garden is magical, with stone paths and happy vegetation - Yitzhak the owner is a craftsman who also plays oud and specializes in masonry and mosaics - and you really can't miss it in the whole complex. When you enter the courtyard of the villa, immediately on the right side there is a wooden sauna. On the other hand, there is a BBQ station, a synthetic grass area, and next to the house, beautiful vegetation and stone paths with a natural appearance. To access the pool you have to climb wooden stairs to the "thin" complex. The pool is of the Intex type, and there is also a sitting area.

The holiday villa itself contains 5 rooms - 4 with double beds and 1 with single beds. You can host a large family or several pairs of friends here. There is all the facilities here - kitchen, living room (with 3 sitting areas - and not one big one), TV, small library, snooker table and table football.

You should consult Meshi about the more recommended dishes at the restaurants "Aloma" in Kfar Vardim, and "La Pampa" in Mitzpe Hila. Meshi also knows hiking routes that are worth visiting.

This is a special and pleasant complex, which contains two charming B&Bs, meticulously designed, and another homely accommodation villa, all well placed within the magical nature itself. This place definitely has a reason to be called by its blessed name, out of a lot of thinking about comfort, and no less important about relaxation.
