We will be based on Kibbutz Ramat Hashofet. All rooms have private facilities and there will be up to 4 people per room.





The scenery is still beautiful, the air-conditioned rooms with en-suite bathrooms are still welcoming at the end of the day, and the blue waters of the swimming pool still invigorate us after a morning on the Tel.
