Director John Hillcoat and actor Viggo Mortensen have both made their names with dark, gritty films: Hillcoat with Nick Cave-scripted Western “The Proposition,” Mortensen with a pair of David Cronenberg thrillers, “A History of Violence” and “Eastern Promises.” It is tempting, then, to suggest that with “The Road,” a bleak, post-apocalyptic travelogue, both men are sticking to what they know...
Abed Abed-Rabbo doesn't want to live in a cave, but its the only way he can stay on his farm. The Palestinian farmer, 48, inherited the property in the village of Wallajeh, on the southern edge of Jerusalem, from his father and his grandfather but had to flee amid the 1967 Six-Day War, when Israel occupied the place. In 1999, he returned to Wallajeh and the farm, risking constant arrest and defying an Israeli decision to annex it to Jerusalem. Most nights of the week, he says, he spends in the cave he slept...

Despite being built in a series of caves, L'Hotel in Pietra is an airy boutique property where the rooms, which start at around $160 a night for a double, feel like private archaeological museums. In one suite, glass is embedded in the floor so guests can peer down into the medieval water-storage chamber, and a rain shower is built into the cave walls. Carefully placed lighting and thoughtful details, like the words "Dear Guest" stitched in Portuguese on the bed linen, warm these ancient stone rooms - and make the fact that livestock used to have...
