Villa Melchett, Heritage villa in Migdal, Israel
The stone villa stands along the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, featuring colonial architectural elements and Mediterranean design influences throughout its structure.
Alfred Mond, British industrialist and politician, commissioned the villa's construction in 1928 as a summer residence for his daughter Lady Eva Violet Redding.
The villa represents early 20th-century British influence in Palestine, designed by architects Benjamin Chaikin and Zelik Axelrod with local architectural adaptations.
Daily guided tours of Villa Melchett require advance reservations and include a lecture about the Mond family in a specially designated presentation hall.
The villa maintains a functioning bar where staff members dress in 1920s attire, serving drinks among original furnishings from the Mond family estate.
