Great location, I stayed in an apartment in the artists colony.
It is one of the buildings that makes this city so special, and in a perfect shape.
Could´t ask for more.

We chose this based only on TA reviews, and we were pleasantly relieved to find the reviews to be accurate. Check in was easy since the proprietor met us at the house. We were also in The Serenity suite which is very well located. There really are no windows except by the door, but the design and lighting is so good you don't really notice. The decor might be a little cluttered for some tastes. No one was staying next door, but I could see how the glass door might be a problem with transmitted voices.

First of all there is no breakfast provided so Beit Yosef should change the name. Having said that, the accommodation we chose was outstanding. We stayed in the Serenity Suite which is located virtually next door to the Rimonim Hotel. The main room was the lounge/dining/kitchenette area which unfortunately had a glass door to the apartment next door. There was no sound insulation whatsoever and we heard everything from the guests next door. Fortunately they were out most of the time (as were we) and didn't bother us too much, but when they were there we certainly knew about it.

There were two bedrooms, a large bathroom and a tiny separate shower-room. Everything was beautifully and tastefully appointed. The apartment is set in a stone building with magnificent vaulted ceilings. It oozes charm and character. It had everything you would need from shampoos, heaps of towels, cutlery, crockery, tissues and even shoe polish. The kitchenette had a large fridge and a microwave. Even though it was January the weather was warm and we needed to use the aircondtioner, which also functions as a heater if required.

We were in Tsfat for Shabbat and the owner arranged for us to have our Friday night meal at the Rimonim Hotel. It was absolutely delicious and great value at 100 shekels each. The view and ambiance there was something we will always treasure. It was so convenient walking just 3 minutes back to our apartment. On Shabbat morning we loved walking around the town, hearing the prayers/singing, and soaking up the atmoshere. Everything was within walking distance from the apartment. We did notice several other apartments throughout the town with the Beit Josef name, some in better positions than others. We were very pleased with our choice of the Serenity Suite and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

We had a wonderful stay in a beautifully decorated french country style suite featuring a fully equipped kitchen with hot plate and water urn for the Sabbath, elegantly styled marble floors with shower-bath.It was walking distance to everything and we wish we had stayed longer. The Synagogues and the Artists and the Ambiance are worth more than just 2 days. It was hard to find them on the internet - and they don't really include breakfast. They can provide you with vouchers for breakfast at a tourist hotel (at a price.) We were invited to Dinner the first night and Lunch on the 2nd day by friends of the family that lived about 15 - 20 flights of stairs down from where we stayed in the old city. and then up 5 flights to the apartment! It was a Friday night so driving wasn't an option. We just took it slow and had a memorable weekend.
