Kamara Cottages

Reaching Kamara Cottages takes you into the heart of Georgia’s dramatic highlands:

  • If arriving from Tbilisi, expect a scenic drive of around 2.5-3 hours through winding mountain roads.
  • The listing mentions free private parking on site. Gîtes+1
  • Because you’re in a mountain village (Sioni), access roads may be narrower or steeper than city stays—arrive during daylight if possible.

The Village & Vibe

  • Sioni is a tranquil village setting, away from heavy tourist traffic. According to one review: “We had an amazing stay at the cottage, the location is amazing and the view is breath taking.” Booking
  • The mountain-view cottages are ideal for those wanting nature, quieter evenings, and fresh air.
  • As with any remote area, services may be more limited than big resorts—make sure you bring any needed supplies.

Room Style & What I Stayed In

The property consists of cottages or country-style accommodation offering one bedroom, living area (sofa bed) and balcony/terrace with mountain views. Booking+1
I stayed in a one-bedroom cottage with sofa bed, balcony and mountain-facing windows.

My First-Person Impressions at Kamara Cottages

  • The moment I entered, the mountain view from the balcony stood out—early morning light flooding in, mist lifting from the valley.
  • Inside, the living space felt cozy but sufficient: sofa, TV, small kitchenette (in some units), and comfortable bed.
  • The bathroom was clean and functional—hot water, towels provided.
  • WiFi and parking were available which is a big plus in mountain locations.
  • Evening calm: After a day of hiking, returning to this quiet cottage felt restorative and relaxing.

Comfort & Things to Consider

  • One guest wrote: “Everything was very clean. The space is so cozy. The views are great!” Booking
  • Ratings on Booking.com show very high scores for many guests: Cleanliness 9.5, Comfort 9.8 for some stays. Booking
  • Because this accommodation is in a quieter village, expect fewer hotel-style extras (spa, room service) and more self-reliance.
  • At night in mountain locations it can get chilly, even in summer—pack a warm layer.
  • If you drive, some roads may require care when weather changes.

In short, comfort is very good for the category—ideal for travelers wanting a scenic, restful stay rather than a high-luxury resort.

Tip: For extended stays bring a few snacks or groceries—the local village stores may not offer as much variety as city supermarkets.


Food & Dining Options

Self-Cater or Local Dining

Since the cottage provides a bit of living space and some units include kitchen appliances, you have the flexibility to self-cater lighter meals or breakfasts.
Local dining: The village and nearby Stepantsminda (Kazbegi town) have Georgian cafés and restaurants—great for dinner after a day’s hike.

My Dining Tip

  • Start your day early with coffee on the balcony overlooking the mountains.
  • For dinner: head into Stepantsminda town and try a local dish like delicious khinkali (dumplings) or grilled local trout with mountain greens.
  • Ask the host for the best local, non-tourist spot—they often know hidden gems.

Atmosphere

The dominant feeling here is relaxed mountain serenity. No crowds, no big resort feel—just you, the cedar/pine forests, misty peaks, and restful accommodation. One of my favourite evenings: sitting outside after dinner, the mountain silhouette against dusky sky, the sound of wind and trees.

Value for Money

Given what you get—mountain views, parking, wifi, peaceful setting—I found the value excellent. In a less-crowded region like Kazbegi, you often get more space and nature for your budget.
