Miryam Eik, who was born and raised in Akko, always dreamed of living in an old house with large windows. Her dream came true about 22 years ago when her brother bought an ancient house in Akko and invited her to live there. Since then, Miryam has owned, managed and nurtured the home with incredible talent. Jimmy Eik, a native of Akko who now lives in Switzerland, is the set designer at the Geneva Opera and is responsible for the impressive ceiling painting in the main space of the house.
Miryam’s kitchen is well known in Akko.
You are welcome to visit Miryam’s home and experience Akko for all its wonders.
The large space of the house is now used to host families and groups, who are interested in tasting Miryam’s dishes, hearing her stories and attending Miryam’s cooking workshops.
Yasmine house offers accommodation in the shared house or accommodation in a private suite on a separate floor.
Miryam always believes that “even when life is difficult, dreams can come true” and she will be happy to tell you her stories about the city, the market, the neighbors and her life.
