It was a pleasure staying at Artist Quarter Guesthouse. The place is very cozy and the hosts extremely caring and kind. The place was very clean, and breakfast was very good. I recommend this place if you're planning a tour around the north of Israel like we did.

Yaffa Israel

everything was amazing, from beginning to end, lovely couple taking care of everything, extremely recommended

Jenny Israel

The room was very quiet and has a nice patio with table and chairs. The entrance was private. The owners, Evan and Joy, were spectacular hosts, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, to point out things to do, and give us an overview of the town. They brought a large, yummy breakfast to our room every morning. There is a kettle with coffee and tea in the kitchenette area. There is a good amount of closet space. The walls of the room are original stone with vaulted ceilings, very pretty.

Stunning accomodation! A haven of peace and tranquility in one of the most beautiful locations in Israel. Brimming with authenticity and character. Host redefined hospitality. Information provided on wonderful things to do in town including artists galleries, walking tours of local archaeology, etc.

A lovely B&B in the heart of old Safed/Tzvat. The hostess, Joy, certainly lived up to her name! She took good care of us, brought a home-cooked breakfast to our room, and provided us with information about the city and suggestions of what to do there.

Joy & Evan Yisrael Strauss
Located in the heart of the Old City of Tzfat, specifically in the Artist Quarter, our B&B features beautifully renovated 300 year old stone domed rooms with kitchenettes, AC/heat, free WIFI, private bathrooms, modern furniture, Moroccan lights and Persian rugs. Our Guesthouse has a courtyard with outside dining and a rooftop balcony with a spectacular views of Mount Meron. We serve a hot kosher vegetarian breakfast on weekdays and we provide a variety of breakfast items on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. Our rooms are fully equipped for Shabbat.
Shalom! Together we own and run the Artist Quarter Guesthouse B&B. Twelve and a half years ago we moved to Israel on Aliyah. Shortly after we discovered and bought this gem of a property, which at that time was just dripping with potential. The first year we spend visioning, restoring and renovating these ancient stone domed rooms to bring out their authentic beauty. For the past ten years it has been our honor to host a variety of people from many countries, and help their stay in Safed be as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible. We hope to be able to host you and do the same for you!
We are located in the heart of Tzfat, in the Artist Quarter section of the Old City. Our B&B is close to everything, including restaurants, synagogues, supermarkets, galleries, Ziv Hospital, Bar Ilan Medical School, Tzfat Academic College and the central bus station.
