Tiberias resident Haim Hatzav has been conducting a lengthy romance with a very special lady for a number of years. Not that there's much future in the relationship, as the lady in question - Dona Gracia, a Jewess born into Lisbon high society during the Inquisition period - died more than 400 years ago. The House of Dona Gracia in Tiberias is a unique hotel, cultural center and museum attractively rolled into one. Apart from being a place where guests can rest their weary heads, the main goal of the House of Dona Gracia is to emphasize the involvement and contribution made by women to humanity and the Jewish people in particular.
The special decor, atmosphere and warm ambience transport one back many centuries. Passing through the door, one becomes a traveler in a historical time machine with elaborately dressed actors and mannequins. The incredible Renaissance period interior of the hotel-cum museum helps to make the journey back in time a fascinating experience.
