Kintsvisi Monastery and the 13th century St. Nicolas church are famous for their amazing blue frescos and a "must see" stop-over, half way between Tbilisi and Kutaisi. You leave the motorway at exit Kareli. Drive 12 km to the south-west and in Kintsvisi drive up the hill on a 3 km, partly dirt road to be paved soon.

Luxury Guesthouse with 4 Premium Bedrooms & Private Wine Cellar

Old Tbilisi

"Well. I guess it was my fault to book a property that does not have reviews. I haven't been to Georgia for 30 years and I brought my 2 kids from USA to see the Caucasus. I did send a message in advance to the owner with my flight info and the date of arrival. When we arrived at the place, owner was standing in his courtyard in his underwear, and his wife was surprised to see visitors at her home. She told me that she canceled my booking, then she told Vrbo that she has no access to her booking....

"Even though there were some initial miscommunications (when we booked the listing said "entire place with 2 bedrooms" but they meant to say only one room), the host immediately sorted it out and gave us two very nice rooms as booked. The property is beautiful with a fantastic view of Mt Kazbegi, and a nice yard, and the host is very nice and accommodating. There is a common kitchen with all the amenities: a small oven, gas, electric kettle, so it was super convenient to also make some simple...

"This owner was completely unresponsive! I reached out multiple times before check-in to get travel information and notify him of my arrival, and you know what? He ignored every single message! When I finally showed up at the location, it was a ghost town—no one was there! I immediately reported this unresponsive owner to VRBO support, and they assured me they would find me an alternative accommodation the same day. Well, guess what? It's been over 14 days, and I still haven't seen a single penny...

Ibis Budget Tbilisi Center

10/10 Excellent

"Affordable price and good location are what this hotel is alll about. Staff are great and helpful. Yes the rooms are pretty basic, but they are clean. Only down side, thin walls, so you can hear everything going on around you. Would definitely stay here again, just fir the convenience. "
