Sitting within close proximity to Tel Aviv’s Old Jaffa district, this beautifully styled penthouse apartment is an ideal base for those looking to combine the best of the city’s history, culture and coastline. Laid out over two floors, the home sparkles with natural light thanks to the large windows giving way to views over the neighbourhood’s rooftops. We love the high ceilings and exposed stone wall in the downstairs living area that creates a striking contrast with the elegant contemporary decor. Upstairs, meanwhile, you’ve not only got a desk space to make working from home a breeze but you’ve also got access to a sun-drenched terrace, decked out in loungers and outdoor seating. Catch some rays in the afternoon between bouts of sightseeing fun, or gather here for celebratory sundowners followed by a starlit barbecue feast. When you’re ready to venture out for some exploring, you’ve got plenty from which to choose nearby – Jaffa Flea Market and Jaffa Port are within easy walking distance, while the beach is 525 metres from your door.

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...
