Naftali Estate

Inbar

This boutique hotel is located in a moshav (village) at the top of a mountain. It was fun to use the provided remote to open the gate to the hotel and the village gate, which closes at night to non-guests/residents. Waze will take you to the back entrance of the hotel, so if you want the paved parking, when Waze tells you to start driving on a dirt road, turn around and go back a few buildings. The paved lot has a sign at the end which says Naftali Estate. 

The hotel is stunning, with a full shared kitchen and a large refrigerator. The whole thing is like a country manor, with bedrooms for the guests and then a large shared living room. 

The reading lights over the bed were excellent, unlike most hotels, and the bed was extremely comfortable. 

The hotel serves no meals. If you plan on doing your own cooking, there's a well-stocked mini-market a short walk (and even shorter drive) from the Estate. Arik provides the following for free: coffee, tea, fresh oranges, honey, jams, bread, all available 24/7. 

We found some amazing restaurants near him, including the best shwarma in Israel, which happened to be kosher, named Yaniv, located by the gas station north of Ramot Naftali, and Brewhouse, a great restaurant with a nice ambience and an excellent view for steak and their own  beer. The Aroma branch was also very nice. 

This serves as an easy getaway for trips in the area. We visited Ghajar, Lake Hula, Agemon Hahula, Rosh Pina (the historic area is mostly closed by 16:00) and Hamat Gader, and there are many other interesting places to visit in the area. 

We used the free parking at the front, which meant climbing some steps to the entrance, but we could have used the free parking at the back, on a dirt road, which leads directly to the entrance. We made use of the heated pool and heated jacuzzi, and used the grill to toast cheese sandwiches. 

We had trouble operating the fancy coffee machine, and getting Netflix in the room, but Arik, the owner, was extremely patient in explaining everything to us when we called him. After you turn on the air conditioner, you'll see it open up, but no air comes out for about five minutes, at least in room six. So be patient. 

Bring eye shades if you're sensitive to morning light. The blackout curtains let in most of the sunlight. In case you're interested, the Estate is not religious friendly or handicapped accessible. I would certainly recommend it to anyone else. 

A Galilee Gem

We were a party of 25, and took over both the "estate" (7 separate rooms) and the "villa" (4 bedrooms with large common living and cooking space). On the up side, the location is fantastic, and the accommodations are very spacious, comfortably housing 6 couples and 13 kids (with plenty of room for more). The kitchen was well equipped, and the stove (6 burners) and two ovens worked well. Plenty of hot water for everyone (individual gas heaters), and flawless air conditioning. The two private pools, though small, were pleasant and clean. On the down side, the upkeep of the place is less than could be expected for the (high) price we paid. Two of the upstairs showers leaked to the rooms below, a complaint that is not new on TripAdvisor, and apparently is difficult to fix. There were some other minor complaints (loose faucets, flickering LEDs, etc), annoying but not at the level of the "keep away" reviews from some months ago. The new management (since April, I think) was generally helpful, and seems to be committed to overhauling the place and justifying the excellent reviews the venue received a few years ago. They're not there yet, but seem to be on the right track.

Mixed feelings

Room are clean and well maintained ! Very nice view from any room and a nice pool and Jacuzzi ! The whole site is build with wood and well treated . there are 7 rooms well suited for a big family or a group of friends . Breakfast was good

Very Nice site

Do yourself a favor and don't go anywhere near this place.
We had a terrible experience there!!!!

Very rude staff, terrible service, old facilities, not clean... I could go on and on......
Honestly, do not stay here ever.

KEEP AWAY!!!!!!

We had a family weekend in the hotel, we took the big villa - and it was a disaster!! The air condition didn't work in the main living area, wifi didn't work the place is dirty and not maintained the breakfast was bad and when we asked for eggs they said it was finished. The worst experience I had so far...

Keep away!!

We came with a group of 10 couples to enjoy the weekend. Place looks nice, wonderful view. When we wend into the building and rooms the experience became clear. When top of the room uses bathroom bottom room gets a shower. The main hall was dripping from the floor creating a pond on the carpet. There was no one to talk to to fix it. The employees would not take care of this and would not give us a phone to call. I would recommend - Go to other places. 
חוייה גרועה , השרותים של קומה ראשונה נוזלים לקומה שלמטה. הסלון מוצף ממפל שמגיה מהתיקרה. אין למי לפנות, לא מתייחסים.
לא לבוא לשם , מצאו מקומות עם שירות ומקום נורמאליים.

Did have a bad experience, there was no body to talk with. חוויה גרועה, אין עם מי לדבר
