The Farmhouse, A Rare Respite in Israel

Bat Shlomo, Israel
May 2021

By Ross Belfer

There’s very few places in Israel where you feel like you can truly get away, and Bat Shlomo Farmhouse sets the mark, high. Located on the namesake winery and tasting room, The Farmhouse is a testament to Israel’s agricultural prowess dating back to the Rothschild family’s cultivation of European style-houses, French grapes, locators flora and vast vineyards.

The Farmhouse pays homage to the country’s past while propelling Israeli hospitality in the future. Boasting only five rooms — including one ultra-plush master suite, the Farmhouse is home to an infinity pool with lounge chairs and resting beds, a gorgeous wine tasting room, quaint courtyards and the main house where a local chef will prepare and serve a private meal of the highest culinary standards — and can arrange a watsu treatment that relaxes the mind and body. While Milton Brown bath products await you in your room, the hotel’s bespoke service and minimalism is a rare find in Israel and beckons the attention of discerning locals and international visitors alike. The property is perfect for romance, private and intimate events and celebrations, a guy’s or girl’s getaway, and even a solo respite after a grueling year.
