Azamra Inn Tzfat

Azamra Inn Tzfat

10/10 Excellent
"Azamra is truly one of a kind sanctuary to the body, mind and soul. A piece of heaven! The room is magnificent and it is spotless clean, comfortable and beautiful. Lots of character with the comforting, state-of-the- art, details. The location is perfect, in the middle of beautiful old city of Tsfat, close to galleries, restaurants, little shops and mystical corners. A huge bonus is the roof top where I enjoyed the stunning sunsets. Last but not least the hosts are the most welcoming, warm, and amazing people you will ever meet. I will be back there for sure ๐Ÿ™โ™ฅ๏ธ"
