Shoresh Holiday Complex, Shoresh, Israel

“The views are incredible! You can see the Judean Hills surrounding Jerusalem from the 6th floor rooms in front, as well as from the dining room and bar, several sitting areas and on a hike around the hotel. The view from the outdoor pool is further south, but just as beautiful. There were all kinds of flowers, including morning glories, rosemary, rose of Sharon and honeysuckle. The scent was never overwhelming, but was a delight at all times. “
