Michel House

Situated in the center of the old city of Nazareth, and footsteps away from the Church of the Annunciation, is a quiet charming place in the midst of this busy city. From each of the many rooftop terraces you have broad views of the city and surrounding hills. Within walking distance to some of Nazareth's best sites, restaurants and cafes. Michel , the grandson of the original owner, was gracious and responsive to our every request. He organized for us a fantastic morning learning to cook local cuisine with the lovely and engaging Maha Schada. It was great fun, and super super tasty. This was our second visit, and we'll surely be back again.

By far one of the best experiences, we had on our tour. I wouldn't stay anyplace else. Owners were wonderful warm and accommodating. Rooms were beautiful and not cookie cutter. Food was phenomenal. Perfect location to visit nearby sites and easy access to transportation.

There were many beautiful balcony views. The hotel breakfast was amazing. The facility was very clean. Great location, and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. We had an amazing experience at Michel house.

Michel House is the best of the best in Nazareth. It is a gorgeous old building with views forever, and when I walked in, I was greeted warmly for my two night stay by Michel, the grandson of the owner (also named Michel). He was a very good and helpful young man at all times through my stay here -- which I would have loved to expand to another day or two, simply because the hotel itself was so pleasant. I was overjoyed to find an absolutely spotless room -- Liana's Room -- that had been upgraded to a balcony room (and I sat on that balcony each night for the cool breeze as it was June and very hot in the daytime). Every furnishing looked totally new, everything was immaculately clean, the shower was beautiful with a rainshower head, there was a mini-fridge and kettle, and sidelamps to read with in bed. It was totally lovely, not to mention the actual hotel was filled with gorgeous antiques. But we should discuss the breakfast. Because it was the real thing. I had many wonderful Israeli breakfasts in Israel at different hotels. But this, they made fully from scratch, at 4:30am, with over twenty dishes, and I think I had some of everything. Every single dish was divine. They will also make you an omelet if the selection isn't enough (as if it could ever happen!) -- here, I had home cooking at its finest, down to Emil making a tea from the herbs in his own garden, which tasted like very mild licorice and which was delicious! If you are lucky, Michel Sr., the grandfather, will wake and come to your table, talk, and make sure you are enjoying your food. He talks about his life and it has been a very incredible one, so it felt like I was not in some impersonal hotel but with a family, which I loved. So that's the kind of place Michel House is. It's the place I come back to if I am ever heading to Nazareth again, and it's the place I tell everyone that they should go to. I saw several other hotels in the area (did I mention the hotel is PERFECTLY located? By Mary's Well, five minutes walk). Many were nice too. But this had a different vibe that I loved. I stayed in each night as there isn't much nightlife in Nazareth and just read in my outrageously comfortable bed. Big, big recommend!

We spent a couple of night at Michel House. It was such a pleasant place, very nice and very special. The view from the terraces are just amazing, the rooms are big enough, clean with all commodities. All the place looks very nice too. But what make our stay so special was the welcome from Michel and his staff, very nice and thoughtful people, the kind that make you feel at home. At every meal, Michel went to great us, ask about the food (delicious by the way, dinner and breakfast). The location is great too, 5 min walk to the city centre, close enough but far enough to enjoy peace and quiet. Thank you again Michel and your colleagues, for this wonderful time!

Excellent hotel in the very best of Nazareth. Modern facilities in an amazing ancient house renovated. Excellent room. Excellent views. Excellent service. Emil was always helpful and lovely. Good breakfast and magnificent terraces with views over Nazareth. Just amazing.
