Stayed for 3 nights here. Very quiet and peaceful. The room is very comfy after a long day travelling around. The hosts are very welcoming and provided really good hospitality. It's my first trip to Georgia and they've made me really want to return again. Love the breakfast, it may be the same everyday but it definitely grows on you, clearly prepared with love and care, especially the eggs!

beautiful hotel in the village, all the photos are fully consistent with the description! Aesthetically beautiful and well thought out place. we were three days in Marani, a complete reset and unity with nature (what you need after noisy Tbilisi). special thanks to Lily: an incredibly tactful and sympathetic girl who is always ready to help! the breakfasts are divine, the “bagel” wine and saperavi are delicious, pastries and everything we tried are incredibly tasty and fresh, the kebabs on the last evening were fire, we regretted that we ordered so little 🙂 the view on the terrace is beautiful! The hotel is very clean, the territory is small, cozy and in general the atmosphere is very pleasant, I did not want to leave 🙂

Trully remarkable place full of authentic Georgian spirit. Trully remarkable place full of authentic Georgian spirit. You can feel it especially on your way there - roads are demanding, nevertheless the journey passed quickly. The road is well marked with noticable billboards. Moreover there are plenty of cheap cabs that take you from Tbilisi Isani to the gates of elizbar for 20-25 Dollars. When You get there be ready to start eating... A lot 🙂 Rooms are cozy and luxury at the same time. Classy vintage decor. Also wine tasting and guided tour through the world of making it made our stay very special.

Dream country house. Entering the main house, you immediately pay attention to the stylish interior design. It seems that everything here is only for beauty, but delicious coffee is prepared in the kitchen, you can spend a wonderful evening by the fireplace with wine or chacha with churchkhela, which is produced here, and when you enter one of the rooms, you find yourself in a spacious room with interesting details, a soft bed and a spacious bathroom. The hotel has a small swimming pool in an indoor greenhouse, where you can have breakfast with homemade cottage cheese and sea buckthorn or feijoa jam, vegetables, cheese and country eggs scrambled with soft shoti. And the dishes! Just incredibly beautiful. You can relax on the summer terrace or read a book in a hammock to the sound of a fountain...
