Fortress House Khakhabo

El lugar más auténtico de Georgia, y la gente más amable. Único. Y la comida espectacular

Such a beautiful place, both the surroundings and the lovely guesthouse. I loved watching the animals from the balcony, and the food was incredible!

This place is something special! Incredible surroundings in the mountains with lots of animals and history. The house is amazing and cozy. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck upstairs. The hosts Nino and Paata are incredible. They will make you feel safe and good - Thank you for everything!

I found out about the Fortress House completely randomly and it suprised me with its beauty and history. It’s a place in a village called Khakhabo in Tusheti mountains (3h away from Tbilisi). It’s the only house and hotel you will find there, and it’s surrounded by the remains of old towers, that date back to the 4th century. The place belongs to a married couple, that are the only 2 residents of this city. Paata and his wife Nino decided to stay in this beautiful village to save it from being abandoned, and opened up their place for hikers and tourists to stay and experience one of the last ecologically untouched regions of the country. Besides the magnificent views and amazing hospitality, the food was also out of this world honestly, as everything Nino prepared for us was grown/made by them from scratch. The place is so excluded, you need to take a few kilometres ride on horses, which was honestly the best part, and no photos can show the actual beauty of it. For 4h horse riding, and 2 days stay, including delicious breakfast and dinner we payed a crazy low amount of around 400 dhms per person.

We loved everything. Be ready to take some cold showers though, as hot water is not available.
