Guesthouse Lali

The views are unbelievable, and the food is the best in Svaneti. The host is a wonderful person, and the accommodations and location are lovely. If you want to experience the true spirit of Svaneti, you couldn't find a better place to stay.

The mountain scenery is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff were incredibly friendly. If you're after an authentic Georgian experience in Svaneti, this is a great place to stay 😊 The host's cooking was also way better than anything we had at a restaurant in Svaneti. Highly recommended!

We found a quiet spot that was just right for our family. The rooms were clean and simple, and the property is beautiful. The service was exceptional, but the family's cooking was reason enough to visit. We ate breakfast and dinner there for all three days and never got tired of it. There was always so much food!

We meant to stay three days at Lali’s Guesthouse and ended up spending a whole week there. From the minute we arrived, Lali was so kind and welcoming that the place felt special, tucked into a small village a few kilometers outside Mestia. One day we helped plant potatoes on her farm. We laughed, learned, and got to feel like part of her world. Her own hard work was inspiring too. Over the course of a day, you'd see her switch between farming, cooking professionally, and teaching math. We looked forward to every meal. Lali’s dishes celebrate local Svan cuisine, and the wine and juices she makes herself were outstanding. The meals came with heartfelt conversations, too. The house was peaceful, with clean, spacious rooms that felt cozy. We loved the wooden café outside and the garden around it. The mountain views from the balcony and the café downstairs were spectacular, and there were thoughtful touches everywhere. Her adorable dog, Rexa, brought even more joy. It's been almost three weeks since we left, and we still miss Lali’s warmth and the peaceful beauty of her place. We hope to come back and share those moments again.
