This sleek apartment is the seaside escape of our dreams. Inside, you’ll find a mix of East Asian and European styles with a quaint nautical touch, creating a space where history meets present-day Jaffa. Set inside a typical 19th-century building, it channels some of that Old Jaffa charm, while also catering to guests looking for sea views and smart interiors. The rooftop terrace is something out of the ordinary – we couldn’t help but love the way it sets the scene for pure relaxation with the sound of calm waves in the background. Spend warm afternoons grilling locally sourced produce on the barbecue, then lounging on the comfy seats with a glass of Israeli wine in hand. If exploring is on the agenda, weave through winding alleyways to the Ilana Goor Museum, a seven-minute walk away, or take the five-minute stroll to Jaffa Beach, stopping at the Ottoman Jaffa Clock Tower en-route.

Local guide
About Old Jaffa
Old Jaffa is not like the rest of Tel-Aviv - and you feel it immediately. Old and new, ancient and bohemian collide to create a vibrant neighbourhood where art galleries, design boutiques, and restaurants lie side-by-side to archaeological excavation sites. Old Jaffa is a maze of Ottoman sandstone homes along narrow, winding alleyways with beautiful Mediterranean-blue doors and shutters that make it feel like you're worlds apart from modern Tel-Aviv...
