We spent 2 nights at this jewel of a B & B, and I use the term B & B lightly! Every room is amazing, the view spectacular and the hospitality of Jeff and Benay phenomenal. The breakfasts were scrumptious. We also spent a wonderful day being guided by Jeff. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a fabulous... More

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights including New Year's Eve (not that it's noticed in Safed) and we were both very pleased. Our room was spacious and beautiful. The bed was so comfortable we slept brilliantly. Benay makes excellent breakfasts--more than you can eat (or perhaps should eat). We spent two weeks in Israel, and I think... More

We spent three nights at Jeff and Binay's warm, beatutiful and intimate B&B. As hosts, you could not ask for better...as a place to stay...a true gem! And you must hire Jeff to take you on a private tour of the Golan and the Galil. We gained so much from his vast knowledge of history and the area -- and... More

After reading the reviews we decided to give this place a try and we were not disappointed. It's everything that you read and more! The owners are the nicest and most helpful hosts you can hope for. If you are not familiar with the north of Israel then a guided tour with Jeff is a must! He is extremely knowledgeable... More

Safed (pronounced Tzfat by the natives) is truly a must do experince when visiting Israel and Artists' Colony Inn is by far the best travel desicion we have made. jeff & Benay are exceptional hosts and made us feel right at home. The inn itself is magical and a perfect hamony between old and modern. I would recommend ithe inn... More

as a longtime resident of israel, i am painfully aware of the disconnect between value and price in lodgings here. so if you plan to travel up north, or are simply looking for a great place to get away, stop searching. benay and jeff are wonderful hosts and they've done a great job of transforming a ruin into an A+...

I knew I wanted to ask for my girlfriends had in marriage in Israel... in fact I knew I wanted to ask for it in Safed/Tsfat. So I began the hunt for a nice Zimmer/Tzimmer in Israel and stumbled upon the Artist Colony Inn. I read the reviews on this website and made a reservation to stay in the Avital... More

Our extended family rented Benay and Jeff's Inn for a mystical Shabbat in Tzfat in February 2012. Outside, the wind howled and a rare snow whitened the streets, while inside all was magical. Our rooms had every convenience we wanted with a tint of antiquity - an ancient stone arch for a headboard, Armenian tiles from Jerusalem behind the sink,... More
