Friendly host. We had a good supper prepared.

Everything! Luiza Guest House was a lovely stay in Areni. We arrived early for the festival and it was possible to do an early check-in. While our room was not ready, they offered us fruits and sweets. Their family is lovely, as others we met in Armenia.

The deluxe room is very comfortable. The owner has a vineyard and showed us around in his wine cellar, including some tasting : nice! Bbq dinner was good and copious.

“Homey place”

What an excellent place! Brand new apartment, very clean and comfortable. Very tasty dinner and breakfast. And most importantly, Volodya and Luiza are wonderful hosts - just beware, if Volodya takes you to taste his own wine, you may not know when to finish :-D

Everything was fine and the warm welcome and fantastic food was just an extra bonus. The wine tasting was fantastic and we used google translate to communicate which was quite helpful! We would definitely recommend this place!

Our stay here has been exceptional! Upon arriving we were welcomed and made to feel at home. We were given a free tour of their vineyard and along the way we collected many fruits and veggies from the garden aswell. The wine tour was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had in Armenia! So humble to learn that they have been making their own wine for 40 years through a completely natural process… the Armenian way. The room was exceptionally clean, consisting of all the usual amenities that you’d expect. The selling point is definitely the food and wine! There’s always a fruit platter awaiting you at the dining table as a kind gesture from all the lovely people running the place. It’s not your average stay, it’s a whole experience that I’m sure anyone can enjoy and appreciate!

Friendly host, good breakfast

The hosts of this establishment were very friendly! Their food was also phenomenal!

Vladovia gave us a nice wine tasting at 9 pm when we arrived. Delicious dinner!

“Best Armenia experience of all 8 days.”

We really liked our host Volodya, who is aged, but experienced local resident from Areni. He is as Armenian as you can get and he can tell you a lot about life in this country. Wine lovers will especially like him as he takes I guess every guest to his wine cellar. We were curious about details of winemaking and fruit growing and he took time and explained us all. You need a bit of Russian for that but not much, there's a lot you can explain with one word and two hands. Theory is one but with Volodya is also practice as he insist on you trying all four sorts of his wine and they taste awesome. And all that was just a preface to his dinner which was phenomenal. We ate sashlik barbecued meat and fresh vegetables from his garden and it was delicious. We had quite a cultural evening with Volodya and we would sure want to stay more than one day which I insist you must, even though Areni seems a bit backwater village, but part of Armenia experience is also that and Volodya is a great guide for those.
