Guest house · ₪₪₪ · No kosher certificate

161 Yitzhak Isaac Cohen Street, Birya

A boutique guest house on the edge of Birya Forest, between Birya and Safed, with a forest-facing suite and a heated, roofed private pool

Nof LaYaar, forest view in Hebrew, is a small boutique compound on the edge of Birya Forest, a few minutes' drive from Safed and Rosh Pina. From 20 October it lets only its Diamond suite, an open space with a king-size bed, a large indoor jacuzzi and a balcony facing the forest, so the built pool, heated to 33 degrees all year and covered by a roof that opens on fine days, belongs to its guests alone. Around the pool is a yard with a barbecue area, an outdoor dining table, table tennis and table football, and the compound has a protected room and private parking. A massage in the suite and balloon and flower decorations for a birthday can be ordered ahead, breakfast costs extra, and dogs are welcome by arrangement. Its hosts live there and plan walks and outings for guests.
