About the Hotel

This is not a large hotel — and that’s exactly what makes it charming. It’s a boutique-style coastal stay, run by friendly locals who ensure every guest feels welcome. You’ll notice the care in the details: clean courtyards, flowering plants, and cozy corners where you can sip your morning coffee or read a book in peace.
What truly sets this property apart is its location inside the pine forest of Shekvetili, only minutes from the sea. The air feels different here — fresher, lighter — and the whole area seems to whisper rest, stay, breathe.
In the evenings, the golden light filters through the pine trees as the sun sets over the horizon — a scene that perfectly captures the tranquil beauty of Georgia’s Guria region.
