Manoni Ratiani’s Guesthouse has been welcoming travelers to Mestia for over 35 years, offering authentic Svan hospitality in a warm, family-run setting. The property is located near major hiking trails such as the Mestia-Ushguli route and Chalaadi Glacier, making it an ideal base for nature lovers and trekkers. Guests can choose from a variety of room types — including private rooms, apartments, studios, a 15-bed hostel, and even camping space. All rooms come with private bathrooms, balconies or garden views, and soundproofing for a peaceful stay. The guesthouse also features a shared kitchen, barbecue area, sauna, steam room, and a terrace with breathtaking mountain views. Home-cooked meals are available daily, made with fresh ingredients from the family garden. Transportation services are available to key sites in Svaneti, and the hosts are always ready to assist with local recommendations, hiking routes, or luggage storage during treks. Here, guests are treated like family — and many return for the comfort, care, and unforgettable Svaneti experience.

We love to welcome visitors from so many different countries, to show them our splendid mountains and make sure their stay with us is relaxing.

Manoni Ratiani’s Guesthouse is located in a quiet, scenic area of Mestia, surrounded by mountain views and just a short walk from hiking trailheads, including the Mestia–Ushguli trek and Chalaadi Glacier trail. The guesthouse is also conveniently close to local landmarks such as the Ethnographic Museum and the Mikhail Khergiani House Museum, both within walking distance. The neighborhood is peaceful yet practical — far enough from the main tourist crowds to enjoy tranquility, but close enough to shops, cafés, and transport hubs. It’s an ideal starting point for day hikes, cultural exploration, or simply relaxing with views of Svan towers, alpine meadows, and snowcapped peaks. Staying here offers a true sense of Svaneti — nature, culture, and tradition all in one place.
