Samokatus Hotels

The 'Chateau Chapiteau' campsite near the village of Kvemo Pona (65 km from Sighnaghi) was opened by businessman Ivan Mitin, known for the anti-café 'Tsiferblat' and the country hotel 'Bolotov.Dacha'. A team of like-minded people here build accommodation, a shelter for dogs and cats, a banya, and a restaurant, and grow vegetables and fruit. You can visit Chateau Chapiteau as a tourist or stay as a volunteer. A circus tent or an A-frame house costs from 90 lari per night. The place attracts creative people who set up the space, help neighbours and refugees, organise performances and gather in large groups for dinners. Even if you come as a paying guest, you feel part of the local community.

A small, stylish Curio Collection hotel in central Moscow praised for attentive, often named staff, modern rooms and a standout breakfast. Rooms and bathrooms tend to be compact and some guests report intermittent noise or ventilation hum, but service and location keep guests returning.
