When the hand of a master designs a guesthouse, and the hand of God designs its location
The spectacle of a single unit in an entire complex is not too common in our region. This should be appreciated when talking about privacy and a sense of space. But there is also the added value of a connection to the amazing landscape and fine design: "I built the B&B out of a desire to express my love for art, painting and sculpture," says Malaya, the host, "to create a place that combines the beauty of nature and God's creation, alongside the beauty of creative handwork - I see it as a life's work." The B&B is fully equipped, has a private pool, is relatively accessible and offers a harmonious and luxurious combination of spirit and matter.
There is something interesting about the way to get to the lodge: you have to turn off onto a dirt road and drive far down the mountain towards the entrance, which creates some difficulty, especially when exiting the dirt road back onto the road due to the road conditions, but it is a small price to pay for 100% privacy. Besides, who wants to leave "Lamorka" anyway?
The building opens onto an impressive "deck" that is well-open to the panoramic view. There is also a swimming pool and a seating area. The guesthouse, by the way, is far enough away, at the beginning of the dirt trail, but it is close enough to provide service if necessary.
Except for the three steps that descend from the outdoor balcony to the backyard on the mountainside, which may make access difficult for the disabled, the rest of the complex, including the parking lot adjacent to the entrance, is on one level, which allows easy access to all other parts of the complex.
Part of the worldview here is that a building should "live" in harmony with the environment in which it is built: the building combines ecological materials such as sand plaster, ancient stone, wooden floors and solid wood furniture built by a master carpenter. Between all the stone walls covered with sand plaster are interwoven the rings of painted ceramic tiles, here too the artistic touch of Malaya is evident and each tile is actually a work of art in itself.
Malaya, who studies dance, is responsible for the architectural design of the B&B. She created a flowing environment in terms of movement by using arched interior walls that do not interrupt the interior space between the different rooms, but rather create a connection between the different areas of the unit's space, which is open to the view.
A large double jacuzzi adjacent to the window overlooks the pristine landscape typical of the Amirim settlement, and a beautiful fireplace warms guests during the winter.
"Lamorka" is one of those romantic B&Bs whose quality differs from others not due to excessive equipment or financial investment, but due to what is simply called "good taste." This is expressed in the architectural design, the artistic design, and the way in which the B&B is "placed" within the mountainside while respecting its surroundings. This place is especially recommended.
What’s on the site?
The B&B is simply amazing. First, it is spacious, clean, well organized, a lot of thought has been put into every detail and it is noticeable. The kitchen and bathroom are full of items designed to give the feeling that everything we might need has been thought of, everything is lit and faces the amazing view. just lovely! Second, the balcony, the outdoor sunbed and the pool were where we spent most of our time. Lying on the bed outside in front of the breathtaking view and spending hours listening only to the buzzing of bees and the chirping of birds - there is nothing more relaxing and fulfilling than that. The pool is slightly heated, it was hot outside so it was very pleasant for us to be in it. Unfortunately, it was cool in the evening and it was no longer so pleasant to be in the water. But then we moved to the huge jacuzzi :) Third, the view! If there is something I would move to Balmorca just for, it's the view! It's just such a perfect view that after staring at it for a few minutes it already feels unreal. Just like a postcard. In short, an almost perfect experience! (If it weren't for some annoying cats who didn't want to let us down, it would have been perfect)...
A wonderful villa, a charming B&B! Careful down to the last detail, endless love and creativity are invested in every corner, you feel that the owner of the guest house is an artist, the view is stunning and the sense of privacy and the endless silence envelop and caress... clean and sweet and full of small and surprising treats... highly recommended!!!

Malaya gives a lot of space to her guests and won't "bother" you much. She will explain all the facilities on site and, most importantly, let you enjoy the suite and the view.
