Antiquing and a BB in Ein Hod
August 5th, 2006 at 7:26 am (Country Lodgings in Israel)
Hardly the sun-tanning type, my sister has long lists of must-dos on her
“vacations”. So it was no surprise to me that on an August visit from her home in Bethesda, I would need a plan of action to keep her smiling. Taking into account our mutual love of art, mountainside villages, outdoor cafes, and the Mediterranean coastline, I figured an overnight in Ein Hod ought to keep her busy in the galleries. Me, I was happy with the private pool…
Our host was also the owner of an antiques shop located above his B&B. He and his artist wife regularly scour the flea markets in Canada and the U.S. for treasures, which he sells to an appreciative Israeli clientele. He told us how he brings items back which are broken or in less than useful condition. But he sees the potential in these hidden jewels, repairs, polishes, tinkers until the item is better than new.
Check out this mini vacation villa in Ein Hod.
If you prefer a B&B with a private pool, this inn is appealing.
