Carlos and Lior moved from Tel Aviv, sold everything and purchased a 3-dunam estate in Avirim. They converted their designer shop in Shenkin into a suite that they renovated and designed to a very high standard. The name of the suite - "Anna Regina Miriam Fuente" is made up of the names of 3 beloved family members who influenced them over the years. The word "fuente" means "bridge". In essence, it is a bridge between people and cultures. The amazing design combines several styles accordingly: "This is how we see Israeliness - a mix of cultures that creates a beautiful and unique eclectic identity. The character of our design comes from these roots," they say.

The guesthouse is located in the upper part of the plot. The only suite is located in the lower part, with complete privacy. The suite can be reached by car via a dirt road that reaches the entrance to the magnificent garden, from which you climb a number of stairs and reach the beautiful covered terrace. From there you can observe and be impressed by the (vast) garden that extends downwards, from the cozy corners, from the charming hammock corner and the impossible open view that is unique only to the knights.

We went inside - it's an "open space" that contains a "vintage" sitting area that overlooks the view, and a dining area. In the inner part of the space, with the option of hiding it with a beautiful curtain, I found a large double bed. The bathroom space was simply carved towards the rock that is integrated as part of it - it turned out truly amazing. There is no door separating the bathroom from the central space as part of the concept of the Moroccan doorway that separates. A classic "old-fashioned" freestanding bathtub is a real boon against the stone wall. There is no shower here, and bathing is done in the bathtub itself. The toilet is located further down the hallway, in a distant, isolated and ventilated niche.

The visual richness is simply stunning. A polished concrete floor, designer items on both sides, vintage lighting fixtures, and also accessories full of character with modern technological touches: Take, for example, a unique Bluetooth speaker that also serves as a designer table. The TV is well placed in a niche, and can be watched from the bed.

The kitchenette is in a separate space that leads to the side entrance - the "official entrance" of the suite. The kitchenette has a coffee maker, mini bar, sink, and a variety of treats, but it is not possible to cook.

As part of the hospitality concept, the vegan breakfasts are made by the hosts themselves to a high standard, as the subject of food is important to them. "We have a desire to bring people together with good vegan food," they say, and dinner can also be pre-ordered for an additional fee. Note that you will not find cow's milk in the refrigerator, but other high-quality milk. The jewelry display will be in a separate place in the complex, which they are currently working on, but don't hesitate to ask to take a look now.

Special people create special places, and Lior and Carlos have created one. This suite is like a beautiful jewel, full of character, beyond the definition of time or period. The design, location, view and hosts allow for a truly unique experience here, quite rare in our places. As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the most worthwhile places I've seen recently.
