Let us help you with ideas for your family’s vacation in Israel, or just a quick get away.
I’m Chana Veffer and my husband R ‘Shmuel and I would be honored to host you at Villa Rimona, in one of our 3 comfortable tzimmers in Yavne’el.
Yavne’el is a beautiful little town nestled into the side of the Naftali Mountain Range, only 10 minutes south west of Tiveria.
At Villa Rimona, your eyes will rest upon beautiful vistas; patchwork farmland dotted with olive groves and almond trees; a tractor in the distance traversing a field. The evening air carries the scent of jasmine and honeysuckle in this exceptional place in the lower Galilee.
Our tzimmers provide a calm and peaceful setting as your base for exploring the north of Israel and are perfect for extended families who want to vacation together.

Testimonials:
“The hospitality at Villa Rimona is beyond anything we have ever experienced. Many vacation locations promise a warm, hospitable environment but who could have imagined the owners waving you in as you approach the driveway and then demonstrating personal concern for your every need, large or small? Add to that large clean cottages, spectacular scenery and many nearby attractions and you have all the ingredients of a reasonably priced, dream vacation. Visit Villa Rimona. You owe it to yourself and your family.”

“I just wanted to share with you a great vacation idea for the family. The tzimmer that we enjoyed this past Shabbat. Our friends, from the old country – Canada, are now hosting people in their tzimmer in Yavne’el about 10 minutes from Tiberias .
The Veffers have been entertaining people in their home for 24 years in the name of Kiruv and now they are running a “family friendly” tzimmer. It’s religious, it’s clean and they try to anticipate all your needs. They have tzimmerim to suit your family size, private grounds for the kids to play – even soccer (my son loved that) and great Shabbos food. The rooms are spotless and they thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. Their property faces the most beautiful terrain and the sunset and sunrise are breathtaking. Their “moshava” has synagogues in every flavor and they have a great pool nearby with separate hours for men and women.
Definitely a place I would recommend for a vacation.”
