House of Art

The sculpture garden and the view were outstanding. Nice and welcoming hosts. Well equipped unit. Clean. Walking distance to a nice playground.

No complaints.

The view is beautiful, and the yard and outdoor area are well maintained. נוף יפה וחצר מטופחת ונעימה

החדרים קטנים ולא בטיחותיים: במהלך יומיים חבטנו את The rooms are small and unsafe: during two days we hit our heads about ten times on low structural elements. The equipment is old or very cheap (including towels). There is no stove in the kitchen, so it is impossible to cook even basic food. The bathroom is inconvenient, and the shower doors do not meet minimal standards and function poorly. At a price of about 600 ILS per night, the quality and comfort do not match the cost. הראש כעשר פעמים בגלל אלמנטים נמוכים במבנה. הציוד ישן או זול מאוד (כולל מגבות). אין כיריים במטבח, כך שלא ניתן לבשל אפילו אוכל בסיסי. חדר הרחצה לא נוח, ודלתות המקלחון אינן עומדות בסטנדרטים מינימליים ואינן מתפקדות כראוי. במחיר של כ־600 ₪ ללילה, רמת האיכות והנוחות אינה תואמת את העלות

This is a wonderful place! Very beautiful. The town has everything you might need, but the house is located in a very quiet area, and in the mornings there’s an amazing view of the sunrise over the desert. The host is lovely. Everything was super clean, and there’s absolutely everything for maximum comfort.

יפה ואיציק המארחים היו מקסימים האומנות במקום מדהימה הצימר מאובזר עד הפרט האחרון, לא היה חסר כלום הנוף מדהים

I had the most fantastic stay at this place! It’s a charming little studio that offers all the comfort you could need. Everything is spotless, beautifully designed, and the view over Jordan is simply breathtaking. The hosts, Itzik and Yaffa, are absolutely wonderful. Itzik is an artist, and guests have the unique opportunity to visit his studio and see his work. The decoration of the studio reflects his artistic touch—it’s truly a special place. Beyond the incredible hospitality, the location is perfect for exploring the south of Israel. In less than an hour’s drive, you can reach Ein Gedi, the Dead Sea, Masada, and many other stunning sites. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. I loved every moment of my stay and will definitely be coming back!

Nothing. It’s just outstanding!

Absolutely beautiful apartment. The art around the courtyard is intriguing, the views of the desert are stunning, the apartment is comfortable and came with many nice surprises such as cake and fruit. The bed is very comfortable and our daughter enjoyed the pull out couch. Several extra blankets and towels are provided. The kitchen is well equipped, not really for cooking, but plenty of cutlery, plates and bowls. A microwave and coffee machine (including pods) are provided, as well. We loved our stay near Arad, enjoying Masada, Ein Gedi, and floating in the Dead Sea. Perfect spot for venturing around!

The shower had weird doors, but it was manageable. Not really a negative, just different.

Yafa and Itzhik are such warm and welcoming people. Being surrounded by Itzhik's art coupled with the view over the desert and valleys toward the Dead Sea was amazing. Yafa's gifts of Dead Sea products, dates and biscuits for the holidays were so sweet and thoughtful.

I chose Arad for part of my stay intentionally since I love this small city. It is rather quiet, easy to navigate, peaceful. When I saw the pictures of the Gamliel house, I knew I found the best place. The Judean desert view is stunning, the neighborhood is quiet, and all the pieces of art created by Itzik Gamliel, shared so generously with their guests, make the place a fairy tale, like living real a childhood dream. The hospitality of Yaffa and Itzik is just overwhelming.

Nothing. I was perfectly happy I can't think of any improvements. Just keep up. You and your place are very special. I cannot imagine one thing your guests can complain about.

It was superb for my needs (Dead Sea recovery), the internet is fast and I could connect Netflix with the TV, which was just great. it has a very nice garden view towards east, with its own herbal mint /luise Tea. Fully fledged Zimmer, very clean, many utilities and an excellent air condition . The Owners are very kind and nice, I had a pleasure to learn about the sculptures too .

The Art House is a lovely suite with a panoramic desert view and a magical atmosphere. Itzik's metal sculptures add a whimsical touch to the suite and the gorgeous wrap-around terrace. Yaffa and Itzik are the consummate hosts: warm, gracious, helpful, always available for any need. Yaffa even gave us a private tour of their workshop and the sculpture garden. The suite is spotless, thoughtfully designed, and well-equipped. I'd definitely return here.

very clean and smells great. great view and garden. the hosts are very nice

The atmosphere is amazing, so unique that it is hard to explain... The amazing desert landscape together with the impressive art sculptures created a special experience. The facilities are designed for couple giving you everything that is needed, thinking about every detail. the hosts are amazing people. highly recommend!!

Very very nice owners, totally clean, good for discovering Masada/En Gedi/Dead Sea etc.

Unprecedented excellence! The owner met us upon arrival and showed us the famous artwork including the workshop. Yafa made us a pastry . The gardens are full of creative sculptures. The Airbnb is private, tastefully decorated with solid, handmade furniture. The kitchen has everything you need to assemble a meal; Nespresso machine, full refrigerator with a separate freezer; heating and cooling on demand. Plenty of hot water, immaculate. Easy parking, close to Masada. Do stay here.

Great location with amazing view to the dead see. Owners are very kind and helps in any issue you are just asking. Wonderful house with beautiful garden. The best place and the best location in Arad.

The warm welcome, the really nice apartment.

Amazing artwork, fantastic hospitality, super clean place that felt like home.

We liked everything 😁

House of Art is truely unique! It is so nice to stay in a place where you are surrounded by original artwork. The view from the balcony over the desert is as good as the pictures, particularly late afternoon. The host is lovely and seemed genuinely delighted to shower us with gifts of home-baked cake and biscuits. We felt very welcome.

Not much. Others have mentioned that the bathroom and shower are small, but not to the point of it being an issue. The view is not very visible from within the property - but there are comfortable seats on the veranda which is where we spent our time.

Location! The art is beautiful. The apartment is very comfortable. The hosts are very helpful.

This place is amazing! We enjoyed everything - the beautiful location, the staff, the art all around ant the cute room. It isn't a luxurious stay, but it's perfect for its cost. We had a rely nice stay, got some good recommendations from the staff and overall the experience was superb. Within the room, the bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. Shower was a little small but very functional.

The two minor issues we had are the size of the shower, which is pretty small, and that some of the pillows could've been more comfortable. But these are really small details - this place is awesome.

great location, fantastic view, amazing sculptures and kindest hosts
