Majdal Shams Accommodation: A Private Villa at the Foot of Mount Hermon
Rom Lnof is in Majdal Shams, in the northern Golan Heights, close to Mount Hermon and Birkat Ram. A private villa for 20 guests, and a convenient starting point for outings, winter snow and the landscapes of the Golan.
Where Exactly Is the Villa
The villa is inside a residential area of Majdal Shams, close to Shouting Hill (Givat HaTze'akot). The area has no defined street or neighborhood name, but that's part of the charm: you stay inside the village, not in an isolated tourist complex. You head out in the morning for a trip, stop at a restaurant in the village along the way, and come home like a local. The large, spacious parking by the villa means you can arrive with several cars without hunting for a space. This is a stay in Majdal Shams in the fullest sense, with the views, the quiet and the life of the place.
If you've been looking for somewhere to stay in Majdal Shams, you'll find a whole villa here instead of a single room: 6 bedrooms, up to 20 guests in comfort, and a private pool. All the details about the house are on our villa in the north page.
The View: Mount Hermon, Orchards and Shouting Hill
The villa looks out over Mount Hermon, the orchards, the village and Shouting Hill, with open pastoral countryside spreading all around. In the morning, as the light rises over the mountains, and in the evening, as the village lights come on, the view becomes part of the holiday itself.
Every season brings a different view. In winter the mountains are sometimes covered in snow, in spring everything is green and in bloom, and in summer and autumn the orchards around the village are full of fruit. You see it all from the terraces, the living room and the bedroom windows, so even a day spent at home feels like an outing.
In the evenings you can sit on the covered terrace, fire up the grill in the barbecue area, and watch the village lights come on one by one. That's the moment you understand why so many people return to the Golan again and again.

In the morning you can head out on a jeep tour or a hiking trail, stop at a restaurant at lunchtime, and come back to the pool in the afternoon.

Birkat Ram and Mount Hermon
