Stayed July 2018

“We had a 3 weeks exchange with Gilead and his family from Herzliya, Israel. Their house is spacious, the atmophere is very pleasant due to a comfortable and individual furnishing. It was always great to sit in the hangover chairs on the balcony or relax in the shadow under trees in the garden. The house is situated in a quiet street only 10 minutes walking distance to the big, clean and sandy beach which was always worth a stay. We were extremely happy to exchange also our car as we could easily do great trips to interesting nearby places like Jaffa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The communication with Gilead worked very well and he initiated immediate help when problems occurred. We can warmly recommend a swap with Gilead and his family. ”

“We are happy that we could spent great 10 days in peaceful artistic villa in Herzliya-Pituach and visit Izrael. We felt safe in the most luxurious quarter of the country. Nice beaches are very close, for others you drive 10 minutes by car, we loved especially the wild beach near Gaash. We made several one day trips and ve visited all places we wanted to see for a longtime like Jerusalem, Caesarea, Dead Sea, Acre, Haifa, Sea of Galilee... The house is a very good starting point for all of these destinations. We communicated with Gilead who welcomed us and was very helpfull all the time. We are happy we could discover so interesting place on the Earth. Thanks Gilead!”

“We spent almost 3 weeks in this quiet villa in the diplomatic quarter of Herzliya, in walking distance to one of the most popular beaches of Israel. Beautiful sunsets every day, with the bustle of modern Tel Aviv only a short ride away. We swapped cars and made several day trips to legendary Jerusalem, floated in the Dead Sea and explored many coast towns and beaches. And always returned to this lovely family home with wonderful interiors, original artwork and relaxing garden. This was a great and friendly exchange with a nice family. Which we would repeat any time to explore more of Israel.”
