    The BnB is excellently located within close walking distance of the Old City and the main shopping area. Joy and Evan Yisrael serve an absolutely fantastic (and voluminous!) breakfast and were a great resource for local sights and information. ...

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. Sixteen 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 14 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.
