Have a slightly embarrassing confession for a straight man: I'm sick of British period films. I don't know if it's the big mansions, the gardens and the class that oozes from every corner, or just the pleasant feeling that it's far from here... just such a movie ran through my head when I stopped in front of the designed iron gate at the entrance to "Mishchit".

I had heard a lot about this place (I think that Yael Bar-Zohar and Guy Zoertz got married here), but like any good Israeli I was skeptical. When the gate opened and the car slid into a large colonial garden, skepticism was left out. It turns out that there are real estates here after all...

There is something very effortless about the luxury that this place exudes. He doesn't need to shout that he's on a different level - he's just like that, completely confident in his qualities.
You can see it in the lounge, which is designed with classical restraint, in the large pool surrounded by a flower garden and in the sweet professionalism of Sarit, the owner of the place, and Ilanit, her right hand.

We sit in the shade of the umbrellas on the edge of the pool, and every now and then a quiet waitress approaches and gently inquires if we are missing anything. 'Must be missing' I think, I miss moments like this in my life... It turns out that there is such a whole team here, whose whole job is to make sure that the guests do a minimum of movements beyond the necessary 'belly back'.

"You can also have chef meals here" says Ilanit, and I think there is no more understatement than that - with all due respect to the millions of B&Bs that offer chef meals, here it is in a different league. 'Gourmet restaurant for one table' seems to me to be a suitable description for the large professional kitchen, and for the cozy space with a heavy wooden table in the center. "We also have wine that we produce in our private winery," says Sarit, and I ask myself how it happened that I arrived in Europe without passing through the National Guard...

The spa also screams quality, and again - don't confuse it with some poor sauna in the backyard of a forgotten guesthouse. There is no less than a complex here: a double treatment room, a beautiful sauna and above all - an impressive wooden cabin with a unique pool for Watsu treatments (don't ask me what it is, I just know it's pleasing to God...).

Oops, I didn't write about the suites, and it's not that there isn't anything. There are 4 of them, arranged in half a threshing floor, hidden in the vegetation. And each of them has its own design touch. They have a vaulted ceiling and an original design that Ilanit says is something between Spain and Tuscany (I checked on the map - it comes out roughly in Sardinia). Inside you will expect all the treats and accessories, and outside - a slightly small, but intimate and completely private garden.

Back in the parking lot, when I got lost in the tangle of paths and vegetation, the feeling that I'm on the set of "On Reason and Sensitivity" comes up again. As long as they don't shout 'cut'...
