Each room at this friendly kibbutz lodging is like a cozy studio apartment, with pine furnishings and chintz curtains. Clusters of rooms share private patios where you can get to know your fellow guests. Breakfast is served in the kibbutz dining room. Joseph's Well offers few activities, but is a good base for exploring the Upper Galilee.
Built 200 years ago for a Turkish sultan, this spectacular castle has been transformed into a hotel with a reputation for charming rooms. The stone-walled rooms, many of which have vaulted ceilings, are both comfortable and rustic; the former stables serve as a dining room. A third of the rooms have mountain views.
On the outskirts of Tzfat, the budget-minded Safed Inn caters especially well to families. There's a courtyard for barbecues, a pretty garden where kids can play, a fully stocked kitchen, and a homey dining room where breakfast is served. Standard rooms are simple but clean. Costing a bit more, the deluxe rooms have featherbeds, whirlpool tubs, and parquet floors. Three dormitory style rooms are also available at a low cost.
