I have been living in Svaneti for 15 years and hosting guests in my projects for the same amount of time. I am always happy to help organise a trip and give recommendations

Our house is created for those who appreciate comfort, coziness and privacy. Who goes to the mountains to contemplate, to breathe the air, who travels consciously. If you choose to stay in our cottage, it contributes to the development of a small mountain village.

Svaneti is probably the most beautiful region of Georgia and the essence of what country can offer to the foreign tourists. All those stunning photos of historical stone villages, lush green valleys and snow-covered mountains.... the most of them were made here. But mountains of Svaneti are also much more than catches the eye, not just glaciers, towers and instagrammable (oh, how I hate this word!) locations. First and foremost, for thousands of years they've been a homeland of Svans, a very distinctive ethnic group related to Georgians. Getting around Svaneti can be both easy and complicated, depending on where you need to get. The road to Mestia (and further to Ushguli) sees a decent amount of traffic so have a good chance to catch some marshrutka, shared taxi or to hitch a ride. There is no public transport and little traffic in smaller side valleys so to get there, you may need a taxi. There are many taxi drivers in Mestia, but they are already quite spoiled so it´s recommended to ask several of them for a price. Below are the approximate (tourist) prices of taxi from Mestia to surrounding villages.
