2 Best Hotels in Gamla Nature Reserve, Upper Galilee and the Golan

If relaxation is what you're after, look no further than this homey getaway, a good base for exploring the sights in the Golan Heights. The owner, Anat Cnaan, will greet you with open arms and a table filled with fruit and freshly baked goodies. Your well-designed suite will have a bottle of wine at the ready, which you can open on your personal patio overlooking the Sea of Galilee or enjoy during a relaxing soak in your suite's whirlpool tub. Spa treatments are available at very reasonable prices, and the lovely pool area was designed by Anat's architect-husband, Avi.

The four suites owned by Judit Sheraf and Avi Ram are the perfect place for a family weekend: each cottage has a double bedroom, a living room that sleeps three, a kitchenette, a heated outdoor Jacuzzi, and a very large private yard with grill and hammock or swing set. A generous Israeli breakfast can be brought to your cabin for an extra fee. The large private pool is open from April to October; the grounds also have an outdoor hot tub and massage room.
