Alma

I am an architect and a conservationist of historic towns. I also travel extensively and enjoy living in apartments wherever I go. Creating Alma was a dream come true and proved to be the realization of both my personal and professional experience. I've designed Alma's apartments as ones that I would like to stay at while travelling. In the process, I've revived a ruin and am now reintroducing the building into the life and the fabric of the city. I fell in love with Akko, and I hope that staying at Alma will help you fall in love with it too. Thank you for choosing Alma, and please feel free to contact me for any information or help during your stay.

In the heart of the Old City of Akko, steps away from the market, the port, and the contemporary culinary scene - The serenity of Alma’s closed complex envelopes you the minute you enter the intimate courtyard. With thoughtful preservation of the original Crusader and Ottoman architectural elements, impressive arches and stonework, Alma offers its guests an enchanting experience. The compound consists of three spacious and beautiful studio apartments, two of which are interconnected. Each apartment can host up to four guests, is meticulously appointed and offers a luxurious king-size bed, a pampering walk-in shower, a cozy oriental sitting area. a fully equipped kitchenette and a dining area. The king-size bed in two apartments may be separated into single beds, and the sitting area offers extra beds. The three apartments share a common stone paved patio, which offers an ideal space for socializing or relaxing at the end of the day. The apartments may be rented separately or together to accommodate a large group of family or friends.

Only two hours by train or car from Tel Aviv, Alma is located in the heart of the Old City of Acre (Akko). Akko, which is an Ottoman town, and which lies on top of a Crusader city that remains almost intact, is a living World Heritage City with vibrant stone alleys, breathtaking views and a long history. Next door to Alma you will find a traditional neighborhood bakery with fragrant local breads fresh out of the oven and a grocery store. All other attractions are but a few minutes away by foot. Favorite attractions include the Halls of the Crusader Citadel, the Templar's tunnel, the City Walls Promenade, the port, the Turkish Hamams (one a museum, and one active), the market, the beach and local food. Akko also boasts one of the best contemporary culinary scenes in Israel. Alma’s location allows you to feel the pulse of Akko, and to take part in the daily life of this beautiful and ancient city. Alma is also an ideal base for travelers to explore the Northwestern region of Israel, and is a great starting point for trips to the Western Galilee with its many attractions, and to the Northern Israeli coastal shores of the Mediterranean.
