Our spacious garden, walled off from the street, is a quiet and green place.
Here you find fruit trees which you can pick in season, flowers, and shady spots to relax in and a B.B.Q. corner.
Indoor
As you enter our lobby, you might pass your national flag, waving in the breeze – just to say “welcome”. Check-in at our reception desk a (open from 14:00 – 20:00) – don’t forget your passport and the “all important” entry card/visa that you get at the airport – it saves you VAT tax.
Our lobby is very inviting – with comfy couches made for relaxing with a book, while sipping a glass of wine – from our bar. At the bar, you can find all different kinds of homemade liqueurs and a large variety of more conventional drinks. Pull up a barstool, have a drink, check out the fish in our different aquariums or just chat with Riki or Dov.

Location
The Safed Inn is located on top of Mt. Canaan – on the outskirts of the mystical city of Safed. Far enough from the city center to be an oasis of peace and tranquility – and easy to drive to and from, for your day trips – yet close enough to go into the city to explore all its nooks and crannies.
On weekends – Friday and Saturday (Shabbat) a car is necessary since all public transportation stops running. During the week, there is a bus stop directly across the street from the Safed Inn – and busses run about every half hour.
To get here: On Google maps, punch in Safed Inn – Merom Canaan.
On WAZE – write Safed Inn – (Merom Canaan).
If you have any problems finding us – please look around you to find landmarks and give us a call – we will be happy to help you get here.
