A bohemian oasis close to the sea, this home brings together a variety of influences from all over the world to make something new. Set in a historic villa, it packs multiple levels, all with an abundance of character. Some of the furniture is vintage, while other things are new – all in all, it just feels like it's got soul. We can see the love that's gone into this place – we especially adore the quirky touches, such as the traffic lights in the bathroom. The views are pretty special too of the sea and Tel Aviv. There are three outdoor spaces (yes, you did read that right) to choose from. Our favourite though has to be the roof terrace with its day bed – it's the perfect place to watch the sunset or have a few glasses of wine. Inside, huge arched windows allow the light to flood in, making the living space a lovely place to unwind. This home has a lot to offer, but don't forget to take advantage of the nearby area as well – Old Jaffa, its world-famous flea market, and many local hang-outs are just a five-minute walk away. On the other hand,... Old Jaffa Beach is just a two-minute stroll if you fancy sunbathing on its golden sands or taking a dip in the turquoise waters of the Meditteranean.

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...
