Wonderful small Inn in Tfat. Beautiful inn walking distance to all the places to see in Tfat. Nice rooms and great outdoor spaces to enjoy. Susan and the staff were wonderful and extremely helpful with suggestions of things to do in the area. Breakfast was excellent and personalized. Extra treat was a pop-up dinner that we enjoyed at the Inn.

We really enjoyed our stay at Artists colony. The staff and people staying there were very friendly and couldn't do enough to help us and make us feel comfortable.
I feel they went out of their way to be helpful and accomodating. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay again if in the area.

This is a charming hotel in a great location in the picturesque village of Safed. It is a very intimate hotel with only a handful of rooms and a small dining room for breakfast.
Our room was beautiful: clean and fresh with everything we needed.
The owner, Susan, welcomed us personally and all the staff we met were eager to ensure that we had everything we needed during our stay.

Perfect location. Looks over to Meron and mountains from their courtyard, close to a Artist galleries, Jerusalem St, City Center and numerous shuls. Nice, spacious, clean, though simple rooms, wonderful and friendly staff, well prepared full breakfast included. It was not simply a place to stay but a home with friends. Highly recommend for your visit in Tzfat.

The staff were outstanding the architecture exotic. Breakfast was phenomenal, many items from the property garden. Location was great and walkable right in the middle of the Artist Colony. Be prepared for cobbled stone streets and steps. Thank you Susan for a great stay. We will be back.

This is a beautiful stone building built into the hillside, convenient to the Artist shops and the old town. The room was unique, very comfortable and the courtyards were beautiful. The morning breakfast was custom-cooked and plentiful. The owner offered lots of advice for places to see and things to do.
One caution: the neighborhood is very noisy on Purim!

Super hospitable home stay, but your own room.
We had the best single-night visit to this tiny hotel. Coffee available all the time. Personalized breakfast for us spread outside with a perfect view. Huge rooms and jacuzzi style tubs made for a relaxing welcome. Directions to the restaurant we chose for dinner. Highly recommend staying at this friendly female proprietor’s bed and breakfast. She has a gift of hospitality that all visitors will enjoy!

Beautiful property, very spacious and comfortable room, very nice outdoor space. Huge tub/shower, comfy robes, lots of bath amenities. Bed was very comfortable, AC worked great, zero complaints.
Staff and owner were extremely nice and very nice to chat with. Breakfast was delicious, simple but very fresh and more than enough. Only bummer is only instant coffee available.
I found street parking in the back pretty close - not directly behind - and there are a few sets of stairs to get up there - but its good practice for your stay since you will be going up and down hills/stairs the entire time you are walking around town!!
Highly recommend!
