Hod Rishonim
Some places are a story.
Far more than four walls.
A luxury private retreat in Metula —
four restored 19th-century stone houses,
a private spring-water pool,
and open views toward Mount Hermon.
In the heart of historic Metula, among the original family stones laid in 1896,
a place born from a legacy has come back to life —
not as preservation, but as a choice.
Not a return to the past.
A place that lives.
Hod Rishonim is an intimate retreat designed to host up to three couples or families,
offering complete privacy — a private stone house for each couple or family —
among carefully restored historic stone homes, shaped with care and love.
Here, silence meets nature at its most powerful:
from the sunrise over Mount Hermon, through the spring-water pool,
to the soothing roar of the nearby Waterfalls Nature Reserve and the Mill Waterfall.
An experience for those who seek depth, stillness, and genuine connection.
