✦VILLA MAMILLA✦Special private 3BDR home near Old City✦garden✦

This house was incredible. 100 yr old Grape vine/tree growing through the center of the courtyard up to the roof deck trellises was magical. Vey spacious which is a rarity. Location was incredible, pretty much a 15 minute or less walk from all major attractions. Sitting on the roof deck every night enjoying the beautiful breeze and great ambiance from the landscaping and lighting was really special. . This is a very rare property that should not be passed up. It made the trip that much better. Management was very responsive. We had a small issue that was taken care of immediately. Will definitely try and rent here again when i return.

We loved our stay at "Villa Mamilla." The house is as beautiful as in the pictures. The house is about 200 years old and has tremendous character. The roof deck is huge and very comfortable. It easily accommodated 18 people for lunch. Each bedroom has a full en suite bathroom, which is a major plus. There are no separate bathrooms, which means that visitors have to use one of the bathrooms in a bedroom. Keep in mind that each bedroom has to be accessed from the outside: two rooms are accessed from the downstairs courtyard, and one room is accessed from the roof deck. It was fine for us because we were there in the summer, but it might be a concern for people staying here in the winter. The location is excellent. The house is a 15-20 minute walk to the Jaffa Gate through the open air Mamilla Mall. A good grocery store is walking distance away. It's also a comfortable 15-20 minute walk, or very short car ride, to different areas with restaurants. We have only three minor caveats to our review. 1. The property manager didn't confirm the details for gaining access to the property until the day before our arrival. I would have been more relaxed if this had been sorted a few days earlier. However, we were very grateful that the property manager accommodated our early check-in. 2. The house had almost no extra supplies for our stay. We found maybe a couple rolls of toilet paper, but we had to purchase all of the paper products and basic cooking items, such as olive oil and salt and pepper. 3. The bathrooms are a little dated and awkward in size, although the one in the room on the roof is larger and more modern than the other two. These three caveats were minor compared to the overall beauty and location of the property, which is why we're giving a five star rating. I mention these points because some people might expect a luxury bathroom with a five-star property. We loved the house, and our guests also found it to be spectacular. We highly recommend Villa Mamilla, and we would stay there, again. Thank you!

Didn't know that we were going to be in such a cool place. The pictures on the website didn't do it justice. Lovely manager and has an awesome setup. Would definitely do it again.

This is a terrific location although hard to find initially. Thankfully someone from the Waldorf Astoria knew exactly where to take us. Communication with the manager was great although I had to push to get information two days out from leaving the States. I would have liked something perhaps a week ahead. Location is a fairly easy walk even for someone aged and slightly disabled. We walked many times to the Old City and Mamilla Mall. I always felt safe in the house and walking around. This was a nice surprise. We had three people here and everyone had their own space and bathroom. Note that the floors are uneven, even in the bathrooms. I had to be really careful especially at night. It would have been nice to have a rug in the bathrooms and beside each bed as the courtyard is completely open and dirt gets into the bedrooms. Wifi is good only in the living room. Very spotty in the rest of the rooms. Not a deal breaker but good to know. A new modem arrived while we were there and this might have solved the issue. We had plenty of coffee that I'd specially asked for. There is no coffee pot but a nespresso machine. That would be good to note on the property details for those that love coffee so that they have time to buy the pods. There is a fitration system for water which I really appreciated. This is a great rental and if I come back to Jerusalem, I'd rent here again.
