This little known hotel with just five rooms is absolutely magnificent. Often the photos online of hotels are exaggerated; with Casa Nova if anything, in real life, the place is even more spectacular. Everything about my two weeks stay was amazing. Guy, the owner could not have been more attentive and helpful in every way from making sure the room was in perfect condition, sparkling, clean every morning, to travel advice and the feeling that everything was brand new in this classically maintained former home in the unique ancient city of Jaffa. Yet every touch was perfect while maintaining the authenticity of the original home. The view from the communal balcony is immediately over the Mediterranean sea with an unrivaled view of the sea, and the old Jaffa port. In the other direction is the stunning beach view of Tel Aviv, which is a few minutes walk from the cobblestone streets of old Jaffa. The neighborhood itself is unique with its out of the way antique and one of a kind shops, and also with a very wide range of cuisines from a delicious dinner that might cost less than $10 to an elegant dinner costing far more. My only regret in writing this review is that it will no longer be such a well kept secret. The photos online reflect the beauty of the rooms and view, but don’t give a taste of the comfort that Guy and his staff have created here. I wish I can give it a score higher than perfect since I have not stayed in a hotel anywhere in the world this wonderful.
