Nof Meir – 10 minutes from Jerusalem
Three wooden cabins in the Nof Meir guest houses in the religious community of Beit Meir, located 10 minutes from Jerusalem, 40 minutes from Tel Aviv and at one of the stops of the Israel National Trail, built in an amazing mountain landscape that overlooks the Coastal Plain and when there is good visibility, you can even catch a glimpse of the sea on the horizon.
The cabins are built in the Swiss style, from Norwegian wood and in different sizes. Two are suitable for families and one is for couples. The lovely cabins have a sitting area with a plasma screen, a dining area and an accessorized kitchen suitable for the religious public, with a samovar and a Shabbat hotplate.
The cabin also includes a large and luxurious jacuzzi and a spacious balcony that faces the landscape, opposite breathtaking sunsets, with sitting areas, a wooden swing, and a barbecue grill that can be used every day except Shabbat. "We recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of the guest houses, which are constantly being renovated and upgraded, with the furniture replaced as necessary, and new accessories," says owner Itzik Cohen.
The guest houses are suitable for anyone interested in resting and enjoying the quiet, the view and the clear air, but also for anyone looking for attractions on their vacation. They will be pleased to hear that the area is full of such places: It is near the Burma road, on the Israel National Trail and near the Sataf. There are also lovely hiking trails in the nearby forests. Additional attractions are ATV trips that set out from the area, and families with children can also enjoy a visit to Mini-Israel.
We place an emphasis on service, are welcoming to our guests, and anyone who comes here knows that he can turn to us with questions and requests and we will always be attentive. Because we are a religious communal settlement, most of our guests on weekends are from the religious sector, because on Shabbat you are not allowed to enter with a vehicle or to use the barbecue grill, although it's important to me to mention that inside the house the guests can of course do as they please. In midweek there is a variety of guests from different communities, who benefits from attractive and surprising prices, mainly midweek and during the winter months. Check it out and you'll be surprised."

Tuscany in Judea – Shoeva
If you're a couple looking for the perfect romantic place to celebrate your anniversary, birthday, wedding night or engagement, or just want to pamper yourselves, Tuscany in Judea in Moshav Shoeva is the place for you. A very luxurious guest house, built and designed by owner Kobi Kapiloto with his own hands. The guest house is designed and accessorized down to the smallest details, with a fireplace for a warm and romantic atmosphere and a jacuzzi with a window that overlooks the landscape, a good espresso machine with fine coffee and capsules free of charge, a mini bar with cold drinks, beers, wine and seasonal fruits, cookies and chocolates scattered in various parts of the house, a safe for valuables, a well appointed bathroom, a television with a satellite connection and a varied film library.
There is a refreshing private swimming pool in the courtyard, with seasonal flowers and a balcony overlooking the forest, a hammock for lying down comfortably, an orchard of fruit trees and spice shrubs. In season the guests can pick the fruits. You can also relax in the shaded sitting area outside.
"Once when I was sitting in the yard opposite the wadi and drinking coffee, I thought to myself that I must share this amazing experience with other people, and I decided to build a guest house. Before I started building, I built the courtyard. Both in the courtyard and inside the guest house I expressed my love for design and creativity. The guest house is built of natural and recycled materials, and was built by hand. Many guests ask whether my handmade wooden creations that are scattered in every corner are for sale, and also order mezuzahs, and that gives me tremendous satisfaction, in addition to my great satisfaction at having guests. I really enjoy knowing that the guests are happy and do my utmost to make sure they are. I also took care of the religious public and there's a Shabbat clock in the guest house," says Kobi.
"The guest house is accessorized in a very romantic way, with a charming courtyard and the correct lighting outside and inside, and attention to the small details such as wine, cookies and chocolates, which I scatter in various corners; beers and fruit add to the good feeling. The best proof is that our guests always return to us. There were couples who came here to get engaged and returned to celebrate their wedding night, or celebrated the birthday of one of them and returned to celebrate the other's birthday." Breakfast can be ordered in advance and you'll get a very rich and pampering meal.
