They say that the first impression is the one that counts. It is also said that this impression is received within a few minutes from the moment of introduction. And they also say that falling in love is a completely emotional, intuitive matter, lacking any intellectual basis.

Well, these thoughts came to my mind during the visit to Villa Zahavi - an intimate hospitality estate with five guest suites and a swimming pool. It happened to me when I got out of the car and looked up at the modern and impressive "palace" surrounded by a pair of Spanish steps on both sides.

At that moment, when I saw a beautiful woman standing on the balcony of the villa and smiling kindly at me - I absolutely knew that I liked the place and the woman behind it very much. As it turned out, even before the thorough tour I conducted here I was captivated by the charms of "Villa Zahavi" and everything I learned about the place during the meeting only added to the initial enthusiasm.


The hotel building contains three floors, each of which contains surprises of design, pampering, and a romantic atmosphere. The lower floor hosts two sweet units - the Moroccan suite and the Rotem room. Chocolate and Tuscany suites and a Provence room are located on the main floor. On this floor there is the common outdoor complex of the units with a swimming pool in front of the pastoral landscape, in an atmosphere of calm and indulgence. You will also find there an outdoor kitchen with a BBQ.

The upper floor is dedicated to culinary experiences - here the guests will dine on the rich Zahavi breakfast, in front of a gorgeous mountain view, which opens from the wide balcony of the dining room.

The eclectic design of the place combines many influences - decorative details and furniture from the Far East, classical and "antique" design elements as well as modern additions. In the villa - a lot of beautiful design "pearls" - the ancient entrance doors made by a craftsman, pictures and decorative elements from personal collections. Everything comes together in a kind of surprising harmony and creates a fascinating, sweeping, exciting sight.

The personal touch of the manager of the place, the atmosphere of soft and refined sensuality, a colorful and bright color palette - all these together make the place a romantic and unique gem, imbued with human warmth, care and sensitivity.
Each accommodation unit in the villa is designed and equipped differently (you will find the complete details of each suite and room in the tabs of the units). The basic equipment in each of the units includes a designed bed, an LCD screen with connection to YES, many sitting and coffee areas and bathrooms.

The large Chocolate and Tuscany suites that offer guests a rectangular double Jacuzzi and a large, open space. The designed Provence room is equipped with a rain shower head with an adjacent bench in the bathroom.

At the entrance to the units on the lower floor, there is a common living room with a tea/coffee corner and a waiting sofa. Each unit has a private balcony separated by a curtain, which can be moved when couples are staying in the units.

You go down an internal staircase to Rotem's room. The designed room is equipped with a huge bathroom with a shower head and a bathing bench. The Moroccan suite is located next to the Rotem room, and has a separate entrance and a personal outdoor area. It boasts a designer bathtub, stylish Moroccan benches and a large and luxurious bed.
In conclusion:
Golden Villa - because of the romance, indulgence and atmosphere.
