Why would anyone choose a hotel when they could stay here?

This is what one happy guest recently said about stating in the Villa Tiferet kosher vacation home. When you choose Villa

Tiferet, you are getting so much more than a hotel or a zimmer could offer. You are getting the opportunity to relax with your family, dine together and simply be together in the privacy of a large, luxurious home. And when you travel, why not feel like a local? Discerning travelers should check out Villa Tiferet where they will feel at home.

Precious Family Time

Family time is what vacations are all about. And Villa Tiferet is the perfect getaway for familes. Quiet and serene, you can connect with your family in the privacy of a home with a large courtyard, rooftop and entertaining areas inside. The children will love the family room with its Xbox, Wii, videos, board games and puzzles. Adults can relax in the cozy yet elegant living room where in winter, you can sit by a warm, crackling fire. For our young visitors, the house has a portacrib and high chair.

Cook what you like, eat when you like

The kosher kitchen is fully equipped, so parents have a choice of making meals at home or going out. Dining out with

a

large family and small children is not always easy and can be expensive. Some children are picky eaters and like to eat when restaurants and hotel dining rooms may be closed. At Villa Tiferet, you can prepare your kids’ favorite dishes in your own large, fully-equipped kosher kitchen and dine at table that extends to seat 14. If you do not want to cook, you can take out food from the main street (a three-minute walk away) and then eat at ‘home.

And keeping Shabbat in a home is much more relaxing than being in a hotel. As opposed to a hotel room, a house is private so your family will have space to relax and your children will have a place to unwind and play and be loud if they want. You can also invite guests for Shabbat and dine in style in the elegant dining room.

Value for money

Family vacations are expensive, especially when you are a large group of six or more. Having to rent two or three hotel rooms can be costly, and if the rooms are not adjoining, it can make holiday time with children stressful.Large families who have to pay for three or more hotel rooms will find Villa Tiferet the more affordable, convenient option. Do the math and also consider the expense of e

ating all meals out. You will save money when you choose this kosher vacation rental.
