We just spent a few wonderful days at Villa BaGalil with our children and grandchildren! It was the ideal setting for families with children: spacious, spotless, and with many amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. The inground pool was the main attraction, plus there’s a volley ball net, ping pong, and plenty of space to play. The location in Yavne’el is excellent for visiting the Kinneret and there are many attractions in the area. Marilyn (owner) provided amazing service prior to and during the visit, and made sure everything was perfect. We look forward to our next visit!

We are having an incredible break from Zoom-school up in the Galil at the stunning Galil Getaway. We were welcomed by the friendly, incredibly helpful owner who sent us loads of suggestions of things to do in this area before we even arrived (even though there is almost no reason to leave the house!) The pool is perfect- even in late October; the yard is a haven; and there is a huge TV for family movie night. We had the best sleep in their comfy beds. It honestly feels like a hotel room. This am we drove 5 minutes for a dip in the Kinneret. This short vacation is such a מחיה!

Villa BaGalil has everything you could possibly need, and the host was absolutely the best, accommodating in every possible way. The pool was perfect with tons of pool toys- the kitchen was fully equipped and the bedrooms and beds perfect and comfortable!! Definitely looking forward to coming back again! Thank you Villa BaGalil - we look forward to our next vacation with you! Mike and Yael

We had a wonderful family vacation at Villa BaGalil! It started before we even got there with the incredible costumer service by Marilyn answering all our questions, accommodating all our needs, sending us lists of places in the area for shopping, Shabbat prep, attractions etc and making us feel welcome before even arriving! Then we got there and the place was clean, set up beautifully, fully equipped kosher kitchen, all rooms set up to accommodate each families needs. The grounds were perfect for both kids and adults! It was the perfect setup for a well needed vacation! Highly recommend and get wait to get back there!!!

Our group of 13 had the most wonderful stay at Villa Bagalil. With its amazing location it was a great opportunity for our 3 families of all ages to relax and enjoy. The pool is a perfect addition to the clean and spacious home. The process was simple and easy from booking to arrival to departure. The homeowners along with the caretakers were very available and willing to help. Highly recommended!!

We just had a lovely weekend at Villa BaGalil. The accommodations are state of the art. The grounds are beautiful. There is a large area for volleyball and a pool, as well as an area with an outdoor table and couches. The interior of the villa is on par with the wonderful outer space. There are many bedrooms and bathrooms, all spotless upon our arrival. The beds are cozy and there are even a few couches that can transform into beds if need be. The water pressure in the shower is stupendous. The kitchen is marvelous and is conveniently equipped with a hot water urn and a hot plate as well as a large refrigerator and two sinks. There is a table that can easily be enlarged and the main area fully furnished with couches and a television made for some very enjoyable down time with the group. All in all we had an amazing stay and highly recommend this splendid villa.

Perfect vacation for a religious family. Lovely accommodations which included everything you need, with a heated swimming pool, a large yard with games, a ping pong table, volleyball net and a large space for barbecuing and chilling. The kitchen and every part of the villa was fully functioning, and the pastoral scenery and close proximity to the Kinneret were wonderful perks as well. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend staying at Villa BaGalil!

I would like to share my family’s recent experience renting the vacation home, Villa Bagalil, which is a perfect choice for religious families. The house, set in a lovely green and secluded space, is wonderfully designed and decorated. With four televisions, a ping-pong table, volley- ball net and equipment, swimming pool surrounded by lawn chairs, there is entertainment for everyone all the time. The house is fully equipped with every amenity necessary for a relaxing vacation. The kitchen is carefully and thoughtfully divided into dairy and meat sections, with every item clearly marked with the appropriate stickers. A full set of dishes, pots and pans, silverware, glasses, mugs, cutting boards, tablecloths, sponges (including Shabbat sponges!), challa board and knife etc. are all provided by the hosts, who even include a basket for possible errors in kashrut! Families with small children need only to pay attention to the three steps leading to the bedroom area. There are no other steps in or out of the house and there is plenty of space for children to move around. The hosts are genuinely concerned about the satisfaction of the customer. They provide maps, names and locations of shopping areas including kosher take-out food and bakery options, and suggestions for activities. They are available at all hours for any question or request. I highly recommend this villa for a wonderful and easy vacation.

Villa BaGalil was extraordinary! Not only was there plenty of space indoor and out and a lovely pool, but every small detail was taken care of -- down to candles for Shabbat, tablecloths, and even flyswatters. We were a multigenerational group of fifteen, and everyone felt at home. Marilyn was so helpful about suggesting places to see in the area. And the view was breathtaking. Highly, highly recommended!

My family (8 adults and 2 babies) stayed at the Villa over Pesach. Being totally honest when I say there was nothing to complain about. The grounds are gorgeous, with spectacular views. The house is new, clean and spacious. The pool was great, especially since it was gated off for safety. We loved the small, generous touches as well- an afikomen game that Maryilan got for us, the chocolate and wine left on the dining room table, the cupboards filled with beautiful, new cutlery and silverware for Pesach. Yavniel is a special place as well- a mixed community, and minyanim available all the time. A 15 min drive from Tiberias with tons of stuff to do in the area. We can't wait to go back!!

Really an amazing place for a religious family that wants to spend a vacation together. Clearly marked milk/meat dishes, a full kitchen, BBQ equipment, large tables for family meals together (inside and outside), a lovely pool with good privacy, lots of outdoor games (ping pong, volleyball, etc) and indoor games, WiFi, VOD movies, beautifully furnished home with 4 bathrooms, spacious and well-tended grounds outside. The house is in a quiet, private area of Yavniel, a ten min. walk to shul, 10 minute drive to the Kineret, kosher butcher a few blocks away, 10 minute drive to Rami Levi and catering.... We had an absolutely amazing family vacation there. No one wanted to leave! Marilyn thinks of everything to make sure you will have a great time. Highly recommended!

Shalom, Marilyn, What can I tell you!! Our family (families) were so very excited about the opportunity to spend time in your beautiful 'villa' - with all the luxury and splendor - and פינוק. Each of the families wrote a 'thank you' with hopes, if Gd gives us 'life and good health' to repeat the event next year, again. I'd also like to mention that Asher and Rachali were especially helpful and caring in every way. You're lucky to have them as 'caretakers' of your facility. Shimon loved the Bet Knesset HaAshkenazi...the t'filot/the chazan/the atmosphere in the historical building!! I could go on and on... Much luck to you and Josh on this meaningful adventure of offering quality vacation for religious families......

Villa BaGalil is a wonderful location for a family vacation. We are a three generational family of 14. We spent four days at Villa Gagalil and loved every minute of it. The house is amazingly well designed. The air conditioners are under individual control which makes a huge difference. The pool is a delight. Our grandchildren loved every second of it and we too. The house is clean and well designed and every need is considered. There are toys for all ages, a table tennis table, a volley ball court on the lawn and a huge number of toys and other amusements. The dining area has a huge table which is even further adjustable if needed. The outdoor gas grill is fantastic, easy to use and generates gourmet food, We thank the owners for a remarkable experience. Aug. 2017

We are sadly at the end of an amazing week at Villa BaGalil. The house was the perfect location for our sukkot getaway with extended family and close friends. The sukkah was spacious, the bedroom configuration lend itself to a perfect blend of enough privacy and togetherness. The pool, BBQ, outdoor seating/lounging and comfortable open outside space offered perfect entertainment options for all. The close proximity to lovely hikes was an added bonus. The kitchen was generously equipped and the wifi gave me the opportunity to work with enjoying time away. The house caretakers (Rachelli and Asher) were a delight and helped make everything so much easier. We are very much looking forward to visiting again... Hopefully soon!! Aug. 2017

We had such a wonderful stay here in Yavne'el. The house was beautiful, clean and spacious and outdoor facilities were a pleasure. Adults and children all had a fantastic time and would absolutely visit again.

My family and I were looking for a place to stay during our Chanukah vacation this past year. After doing our research we eventually decided to stay in the Villa BaGalil. Because we recently made aliyah from Australia, we didn't have any expectations for the vacation houses here in Israel. However, once we arrived at Villa BaGalil, we were pleasantly surprised. It was a real pleasure to be in a clean, spacious and overall lovely house in which all our needs (and children's needs) were met. We are truly grateful to have spent Chanukah in such a scenic part of Israel. When our time at the villa came to an end, we felt like we were leaving our own home. We are really looking forward to going back for our next holiday. Blessings for much success!

My extended family stayed for two nights at Villa bagalil. We had an amazing time. The House was beautiful, clean and had every single utensil that we could possibly need. The beds were very comfortable there was plenty of sheets and towels. The grounds outside were spacious and beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the volley ball. Our kids spent the whole week-end outside and had a great time. Our Hosts were extremely helpful and went out f their way to meet our needs. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to others.

We had such an enjoyable few days at your villa. The facilities were perfection ! You thought of everything. The kids loved the pool, the ping pong, the volleyball and we loved the cool house, The comfortable beds and that the kids all kept busy. Please save us some days next year. We want to come back again!

We had a wonderful family weekend at Villabagalil with our children and grandchildren. We were16 people aged 7 months to 70. Everyone appreciated the lovely house and beautiful yard with games and toys! The pool of course was enjoyed by all. We were welcomed so nicely by our hosts who prepared the house and beds for us. They showed us around all the facilities and explained the different spaces in the kitchen - meat and milk utensils were very clearly marked and everything we needed for Shabbat was readily available. One more thing, my husband , who is a chazan by profession and my son who is a musician both loved the shul. They said it was a very nice surprise for the Shabbat. I'm already thinking of when to rent next. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Bagalil. It was the perfect place for a multi generation family vacation. Everyone had plenty of space. The private pool and outdoor area is great to use in the evenings. The kosher kitchen is well stocked with basic supplies. The location is quiet and peaceful but close enough to Teveria for shopping etc. The owners and hosts went out of there way to make sure that we had everything we needed. Our only problem was that our kids did not want to come home! We look forward to coming again.

What a great experience. The outdoor space and pool was a highlight for our 5 children.
This is a place we would reserve every year.
