Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
It would be remiss to talk about this home and not mention the roof terrace first. With panoramic views of Tel Aviv, an inviting hot tub and a dining table for moonlight suppers, there’s nowhere else we’d rather spend Israel’s balmy summer evenings. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a spacious balcony – it was our favourite spot for morning coffees and light, late lunches. Inside, hints of industrial design are softened by mid-century modern furnishings. You’ll find a kitchen fully equipped for putting together mezze platters and minimalist bedrooms that are a pleasure to retreat to after an afternoon spent weaving through bustling souks. Your Old Jaffa neighbourhood is hip, artsy and packed with history. Ancient ruins provide a mystical backdrop to the electric bars, restaurants and burgeoning art galleries that cluster around the port – a fifteen-minute walk away. Plus, you’re only ten minutes from the Ilana Goor Museum and five from the prominent Jaffa Clock Tower.

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...
