Although somewhat hard to find, this small inn was just incredible. The hosts were just delightful, the rooms were nicely decorated, and the amenities including a pool and jacuzzi in a beautiful setting were super. Breakfast, included in the room rate, was not typical Israeli style, but was okay. Other than breakfast, no food was available and the location was somewhat remote. The hosts provided us with excellent recommendations for dinner on both nights. We'd return in a heartbeat.

Villa Provence is a warm and inviting bed & breakfast that provided one of the most luxurious stays we've had in years of visiting Israel. The Villa itself is located within the moshav of Manot on the range fronting the Med opposite Nahariya in the north. Owners Catherine and Daniel have done an exemplary job developing their property into a first-class B&B with great facilities, lovely design, and excellent personal service.

The six rooms are named for flowers and richly color coordinated. All are spacious and inviting with linen and fabrics from Provence. The quality is immediately clear when you slip between the sheets or wrap in the soft robes and towels. Baths are large and supplied with L'Occitane products. It's not always a given that hot water would be plentiful and hardware solid and shower heads flowing (even in 5* hotels) - at Villa Provence they all are.

The massage rooms, sauna and steam room are first class installations, not repurposed second-thought spaces. (Hint: ask to start up the steam and sauna a good hour before you need it. They were often off, and take time to come up to temp.)

Breakfast is a feast of salads, quiche, eggs, cheese and fruits, tea and coffee. Catherine is a creative and skilled chef. She is also an artist and her harmonious paintings and ceramics decorate the dining room. Other meals are taken out and about, and Daniel gave us spot-on suggestions and directions to a few local restaurants.

Villa Provence is truly a taste of Provence in Israel, with no compromises, and offers a cocoon of luxury and tranquility. It's a great location from which to base the northern leg of your vacation, or a destination for a few days get-away. We've been back twice, and plan to visit again.

just spent a weekend at villa provence ,the hotel ,the suite ,and the facilities were first class, our hotes, catherine and daniel were very alert to make sure we are comfortable,we had a very good time ,very relaxing ,we had few massage (hard to choose from the long list of massages ), we can easily describe our impression; it's like a piece of provence cut from it's place, and brought to galilee in israel.
truly one of the top 5 places in israel.
we will definitely return to this piece of heaven

We spent 2 marvellous nights in September 2008 at Villa Provence.
The place is really wonderful and enchanting. We were very well received and we appreciated the kindness and availability of the homeowners.
It emerges from the villa a feeling of serenity and calm due to the environment and katerine's taste for decoration. There is a very special atmosphere, a mixture of mediterranean style and eastern Europe.
We occupied the Campanuela room overlooking the countryside, the garden and the swimming pool. The room is very spacious, illuminated and decorated with a great taste, as the entire hotel with a lot of paintings , ornaments and also Katerine's hands work. We bought some of them.
Finally, breakfast is fantastic and very original, and we tasted flavoirs and aromas that we had never previously enjoyed.
If heaven had a branch sure would be Villa Provence.
we will return for sure.
