Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Areni

Super cosy and familiar guest house! Siran and his mother cooked very tasty dinner for us and offered a wine tasting from their own house wines:) Great view from the room:)

The wine tasting was amazing! Passion, energy and good wine, a new project of value

Amaaaaaaazing views and a very homey place. It's totally worth staying here a little longer and exploring the surroundings.

Nice view from window, clean room, very kind and helpful hosts. Recommended.

The owners, Len and Armina are an Australian-Armenian couple. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about Armenia in general and the local highlights in particular. Communication is super easy in perfect English, which is a rarity in Armenia. The hotel is a home from home, in a garden next to a river with magnificent views of the magnificent mountains. I stayed at the Areni Lodge for three nights and highly recommend it.

A Truly Unforgettable Stay with a Beautiful Armenian Family Our 4-day stay at Ararat B&B at Chiva in the Areni Municipality of the Vayots Dzor Province in Armenia was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, Mrs. Knarik and Mr. Kajik welcomed us with open arms, making us feel not like guests, but like cherished members of their family. Their warmth, love, and genuine care turned our visit into a deeply personal and memorable experience. The home was peaceful and cozy, surrounded by a lush organic farm that provided the freshest ingredients for every delicious meal. Knarik treated us to a delightful array of traditional Armenian dishes—Dolma, Lavash, Lule Kebab, Khorovats, Pakhlava, Ttu Lavash, Rice Pilaf, Khinkali, and so much more—all lovingly prepared and bursting with flavor. One of the highlights was celebrating Kajik’s birthday with the family, filled with laughter, fun, and heartfelt moments. The generous servings of food and local drinks were made even more special by the love and care behind every offering. When we left their home, Knarik sent her love with us in the form of locally made jam, fresh fruits, chocolates, and more. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Saghatelyan family—especially Knarik, Kajik, and Qristina—for creating such a warm and welcoming space. Extending our love to Ararat & Family, Vigen & Family and Hovik & Family. Special thanks also to my friend Shushan for recommending this gem. If we had to sum up this home in just a few words: Love + Care + Food = Ararat B&B.

It’s worth staying here just for the dinner. Friendly staff and comfortable beds. Very nice place to stay for Armenian wine and for hiking. Would stay again.

Everything, the host was amazing, we had a great time. The room was clean, facilities clean, all looked nice and ready to be occupied for a long stay. We were sad we couldn't stay longer than one night!

A house in a beautiful garden!
