The Castle

Guest house
Three suites in a restored stone castle on an archaeological tell at the highest point of Kerem Maharal, let by the suite in midweek and whole at weekends
The Castle stands at the highest point of Kerem Maharal on a 2,500-year-old archaeological tell, and its site calls it a Crusader building of the 11th century, restored and redesigned over many years with care for its character. It has three suites on two floors: the East and West suites upstairs, looking over the Maharal valley and, from the West Suite's gallery, to the sea, and a 200 m² Garden Suite with a lounge and a professional kitchen beside the pool. The castle is ringed by a garden with a swimming pool, and guests have a sauna and a hot tub; the regional tourism association's page adds olive trees, lawns, a well and peacocks walking free. Private chefs cook to order, and the castle takes private and business events of up to 100 guests and works as a location for photo and television shoots.
