Reviews of Babaneuris Marani 4 stars

Our second stay at this beautiful small and peaceful hotel with a very good restaurant. The highlight is the very clean and refreshing pool. It's a super green place with a beautiful view. Highly recommended.

A minor issue, but the shower makes the whole bathroom wet. Breakfast is good, but some more variety (several jams, cheeses etc. to choose from) would be nice.

The location is gorgeous. A beautiful vineyard and nature around. We tasted several wines at this winery and they were the best, very balanced. The owners of this place are friendly, attentive and helpful in any way. Breakfast was very good, and our dinners were delicious. We highly recommend staying there.

A little space in the bathroom to accommodate necessities. There is not enough lighting above the vanity in the bathroom.

This is an exceptional venue in a breathtaking location—set between two mountains, overlooking a valley, with only the sounds of nature around. It’s very quiet and peaceful, away from big roads. The room was comfortable, the amenities were adequate, and the bed was good. The restaurant, pool, and staff were all truly amazing. This is the perfect place if you want to spend 5–14 days simply relaxing, recharging, and letting your mind and body recuperate.

The room could be improved with a bit more space, a better shower, a small table, more storage for luggage, darker lighting options, and slightly better sheets. These are minor details and didn’t affect the overall experience.

The property is in perfect location to start exploring Tusheti National Park. I stopped there on my way to Omalo. Stuff is super friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed swimming pool and food in the restaurant. Room was clean, spacious and with great view from balcony.

I can’t think of anything.

It's our third arrival at this hotel. Excellent large family room from which you can work in peace (good Wi-Fi). Small number of guests, quiet, calm, private. A comfortable separate pool for children and a second one for adults. There is a children's playground and a basketball court.

A small number of dishes on the menu

This place is a real gem. The people here are so nice and kind. The nature is stunning. In the heart of a huge vineyard you have a beautiful view of a green plain in front and hills in the back covered in trees.

Beautiful place in vineyards, with good food, dinner and breakfast. Very good wine, ovner explain to us how they produce wine. He was very kind and helpful, providing information for Alzani pass.

Amazing terrace/restaurant, great food, perfect pool, great hiking trails, very friendly owners and staff.

Georgia surprised me but Babaneuris Marani it's the paradise. A beautiful place to stay and relax. Alone, in family or with your couple because it's also very romantic. The food it's excellent, the people on the restaurant is very helpful at any time, from breakfast to late dinner. I've been working remote from there and the wifi is perfect! Congrats to Nino and their family for having this paradisiac place!

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Kakheti At first, I didn’t expect much—this hotel isn’t widely known or heavily advertised. But from the very moment I stepped out of the car, I was genuinely impressed by how well-organized and welcoming everything felt. I visited on a hot summer day, and the yard was beautifully filled with lavender bushes and charming Georgian-style garden bowers. The hotel features a stunning veranda that overlooks the Alazani Valley—an ideal spot for a relaxing dinner with breathtaking views. Nestled just below the mountain range bordering the Babaneuri Nature Reserve, the setting is truly serene. I stayed in a deluxe room with a spectacular view of the valley. The room was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with comfort in mind. A special mention must go to the cuisine. It was simply fantastic—far beyond what I expected from a regional hotel. Every dish was crafted with care and local ingredients. The hotel owner deserves great credit: he personally oversees every detail and brings true passion to the project. Our conversation with him was both warm and insightful, as he shared fascinating stories and updates from the region. It’s also worth noting how much effort he puts into sourcing ingredients locally, which adds a unique and unforgettable touch to every dish. If you're looking for an authentic Kakhetian experience with comfort, nature, and outstanding hospitality—this is the place.

Мy main concern was the staircase railings. They are extremely wide, with large gaps between the bars. We were traveling with 3- and 5-year-old children, and they could easily fit through the open spaces. When we climbed to the third floor and looked down, it felt like staring into an abyss. Small kids naturally hold onto the railings while climbing, and in this case, it felt mortally dangerous. We had to hold them tightly and guide them on the side opposite the railing to prevent any risk. I truly hope the owner considers adding extra partitions or safety bars to make the staircases safer for families with children.

Babaneuris Marani is a beautiful estate surrounded by forest. Its very peaceful with a beautiful garden and a great pool. The balcony allows for a great view on the lower valley surrounding Telavi. The food was delicious as well were the wines. The owner and his family are very kind and the owner also explained the winemaking they do. They serve their own wines in the restaurant.

Everything! What an amazing hotel. People who work there are so kind. Excellent service. We also got an upgrade for our room. Food was delicious. And the pool area was so good. They have hiking places near by too. Unfortunately I only had a chance to try a very short 1 h hike, but there were options for longer ones. I recommend this place and would like to come back. Almost forgot to add that breakfast was super delicious.

Everything was great!!!

Not crowded, very relaxing atmosphere, away from main town, great wine, nice pool

Great location, breathtaking scenery and amazing staff. My 1 night stay here was the highlight of the trip to Georgia. Highly recommend this place. The food, wines, all of it, just amazing.

The room was cozy and inviting, with a comfy bed. And the food and wine were delicious! We were unfortunate with the weather and couldn’t walk, even though there are three routes that take anywhere from an hour to four hours, so we’re going to come back!

Homey atmosphere and great service!

Nope

Location, view, friendliness

Food might be slightly better

Babaneuri Marani is the best place we have been to so far - and we have traveled a lot. The place, the winery, owners Nino and Vakho, the Alazani Valley, everything combines in an absolutely magnificent experience. There you could both relax by walking around the nearby village, or you could spend your time with Vakho and learn more about wine than you will be able to your whole life. We went there for the first time in 2022, and now we have traveled the world again to spend a couple of days there. This is truly a 10 out of 10.

The hosts were very welcoming and shared with us a little of their story. The breakfast was fine. The dinner was great and the dry red wine was the best red I had in Georgia. They kindly let us stay on a little on the property after check out. Great location set in amongst their own vineyards. Highly recommend this Wine Estate
