The Story of the Andromeda House
Andromeda House was founded in 2009 in Ha’Pisgah Garden in Old Jaffa.Over the years, we hosted thousands of events from Israel and around the world, all constituting various worlds, stories, andespecially people, each of whom had their special moment.We were given the opportunity to be creative and precise and to create peace of mind and confidence for our customers, whether during private events or at conferences and business events.
Over the years, we decided to expand, but it was clear that we would not be leaving Old Jaffa.We descended from the hill in Ha’Pisgah Garden to an antique Ottoman home on Amiad Street.The building’s serene, pastoral courtyard, decorated and enhanced by a Jaffa orchard, contains the touches and colors of our neighborhood.It is a mixture of Middle Eastern, Jaffa, turquoise stone and small pottery urns with good wine, food, music, a dance floor and lots of happy people.
The House
The Ottoman-era home, built in the16th century,is a historically- preserved structure. Theentrance serving the reception is clad in ancient hand-dressed stone; plants cover a series of arches and wooden shutters andlead through the orchard courtyard into the home – awide original structure with a vaulted ceiling and arched windows.
The main hall of the home also has a wine room,which opens through heavy wooden doors and creates a natural connection to the building.Excavations conducted at the site revealed an underground space that has since been restored. It now serves as a guest room where the affair’s hosts can prepare quietly and privately for their events.
The Roof Shuk
As part of the experience and our ability to create a pleasant and exclusive hospitality package, we happily offer our customers an alternative accommodation that is of a much higher quality than nearby hotels,closer, moreaccessible and convenient to the Andromeda House.
TheRoof Shuk is a 60 sqm Jaffa studio divided into two spaces,with a large roof overlooking Yefet Street and the flea market.It is a Jaffa gem that we offer as a hospitality alternative with an emphasis on our Andromeda House clientele.
Access to the studio apartment can be as early as13:00 and allow you to begin your special day at a more leisurely pace to concentrate on what is important.You and your friends will have time to get organized, go out for photos and be close to the event site without having to worry about traffic jams,the weather, and especially knowing that there is always somewhere close by to where you can return before the affair.At the end of the event, you will climb just a few stairs to enter your serene and quiet place.
We will always give our couples priority for staying at theRoof Shuk, wherethey can enjoy a special price and, if possible, reserve the studio for several nights or even a weekend.
