Kosher self-catering homes for Pesach

Pesach is the hardest week of the year to travel and keep your standards, and a hotel room rarely solves it. A self-catering home lets you kasher a kitchen you control, bring your own keilim, and eat on your own schedule rather than at a dining room sitting. It is also usually the only workable option once you are more than four or five people.

The single question that decides a Pesach booking is what the kitchen can take. Ovens, hobs, worktops and sinks all kasher differently, and some hosts do the work themselves before you arrive while others hand you the keys and leave it to you. Ask early — by Purim the good Pesach properties in the main communities are gone, and prices in Netanya, Jerusalem and Miami climb steeply as the chag approaches.
