The Arbel Guest House is a small, family-run bed and breakfast in a village outside the town of Tiberias. Israel and Sarah Shavit retired from sheep farming and opened it a few years back. It's made up of a set of small cottages set in a lovely garden. There is a small, new swimming pool and a central dining room... more

The Arbel Guest House is beautiful. The rooms are very cozy. It's a 10 minute drive from the center of Tiberius. They have a beautiful garden and the pathways are shaded by grape vines. They really know how to make desert Oases in Israel. There's also a pool. The hosts are friendly. We had a short visit, but I don't... more

After getting some questioning about my solo status, I was welcomed into the guest house and felt very much at home. The room was comfortable though not plush as I had come to expect from a B&B and the breakfast was lovely with lots of dishes.

We walked onto the grounds through a trestel covered in grape... more

They said there had been a misunderstanding as their English wasn't very... more

We LOVED the Shavit's Bed and Breakfast. After reading a review in the Lonely Planet we made the reservation and couldn't have been happier. We're looking forward to staying again next time we're in Galilee. Although the drive up the mountain to the Shavit's was a bit intimidating in the night the first time (it's on a cliff into the... more

This property is also known as Shavit's Guest House or Shavit's Zimmer. Arbel is a small village ten minutes from Tiberias. The five rooms have private entrances and small kitchens. There is a beautiful garden and we ate oranges off the trees. The owners were very warm and attentive. Breakfast was good and dinner is available by request and was... more
