Han Smadar couples only

Moti and Esti, the owners of the place direct me and right before the pedestrian street I turn left and move in time to 1800 or so. A picturesque stone house is the first thing that catches the eye. "This was my grandfather's stable" says Muti, and I think that with all due respect to the horses, and there is respect, I prefer the current designation: a beautiful lounge-bar that is intended, among other things, for breakfasts, and looks as if it came out of a design magazine that devoted a chapter to Provence.

If you still feel in Israel, take a look at the large window in the inner wall. In the next room there are chubby barrels dozing. "You didn't say you were making wine!" I turn to Moti, but he is ahead of me and hands me a glass. In a second, salty snacks and homemade cheeses join the celebration. Who has the strength to go see the suites now?...

An hour and three 'Zikhron' stories later, we swing towards the structure deep in the area. We barely manage not to fall into the large swimming pool on the way and arrive at a large H-shaped house with a paved patio in front.

4 doors lead from the map to the suites which also seem to have been specially designed for the baron's officials who arrived from France a century or so ago. There are cream-colored walls, long curtains and wooden furniture that screams Europe - which coincides with the fact that quite a few tourists come here. There is a high ceiling, a large bathroom and a nice balcony for your morning espresso.

A tree garden that surrounds the house gives reasonable privacy from the neighbors and a spa jacuzzi that hides among the trees completes the picture.
On the way out, I realize that the neighbor on one side is Sarah the hero of Nili, and on the other side the pedestrian street with its galleries and sweet cafes. Between the glorious history, and the updated present, Khan Samdar is a great combination between the worlds.

The suites at "Khan Samdar" are built without a kitchenette but offer a graceful coffee corner. Considering the abundance of dining options in the area, the lack of a kitchen is not a significant disadvantage.

The location here is perfect - just a meter from the picturesque pedestrian street of Zichron. In the complex there is a private boutique winery, which offers excellent wines and breakfasts are served in the lounge bar located in a romantic building from the 19th century that was once used as a stable. Spa treatments can be ordered to the suites.
