You want to experience a weekend that really anticipates summer and that is more than usual out-of-town near home and more than the weekend at the sea with the usual walks along the seafront or at the limit on the shoreline and few, very few, news compared to the year previous one?
The right weekend is an unusual trip to one of the most sparkling and growing locations in the eastern Mediterranean: Tel Aviv. Does it seem too much for a weekend? Well it isn't!
At only 5 hours of many places of europe, there is a favorable climate for three quarters of the year, a city that has numerous activities that know how to involve anyone and what can easily be called "vacation air".
To spend your 2/3 days in complete relaxation, it is very important to find the ideal hotel for hospitality, structure, location and tourist offer, so that you don't have to worry about anything and can fully enjoy the short period spent in Tel Aviv.
The hotel, tested by a dear friend of mine passionate about cosmopolitan and modern destinations, is the Mendeli Street Hotel a two minutes from the beach, on the first parallel of the seafront, passed with flying colors because it is perfect whether you are looking for relaxation or if you want to experience a crazy weekend between cocktail bars and night clubs.
Not far from the Old Town now called Tel Aviv-Yafo, is well integrated into the newly designed city districts. You can easily get there by taxi from the airport, spending between 25 and 30 euros each way for a journey lasting 20/25 minutes. Of course, links to By public transport for those wishing to save further.
With modern architecture and tastefully decorated, the Mendeli it can be classified among design hotels thanks to the refined choice of furniture and accessories for the common areas and rooms. The warm and balanced notes of browns blend perfectly with the pastel tones of blues and greens and enhance the clean lines of the interiors. The brightness of the rooms makes the entrance and the lounge bar area even more comfortable, restful and harmonious.
The rooms are essential in the management of spaces but very well organized and particular is the attention that has been dedicated to the bathrooms and the care of the daily cleaning.
Relevant Breakfast Buffet which is worth the entire stay: from French croissants to continental breakfast, from bacon & eggs to salads, passing through omelettes and fine selection of teas from all over the world.
Given the quality of the food and the wide offer, all that remains is to try the internal restaurant for a dinner.
An added bonus is open all year round: in what locals consider low season and which for us could be a warm and constant spring, indicatively from November to March, many of the beachfront hotels are closed for annual maintenance and, without straying too far from the beach, the Mendeli is a great alternative.
