Areni House B&B — Hotel in Areni

I could not have wished for a better place to stay. I initially booked for two nights, I ended up staying for 7!!!||If you are looking for a B&B close to Areni center but also calm and quiet, don’t look any further!

Brilliantly welcoming English speaking host, keen to cook us whatever we wanted for dinner. Rooms had homestay feel but as long as you don't mind sleeping in someone else's bedroom that is quite alright. Bathroom is shared between the three guest rooms. Facilities overall ok, it is the friendly service (including provision of delicious homemade grown honey, greens, wine, vodka for meal charged separately, same again with breakfast) that makes this a five...
