"Ein schöner Blick über Mestia und ein fantastisches Frühstück durften wir genießen. Das Personal ist freundlich, die Zimmer etwas klein zu dritt, aber sauber. Leider scheint es öfter vorzukommen, dass es Probleme mit der Überweisung der Übernachtungskosten von Expedia an das Hotel gibt. So sollten wir das Zimmer bezahlen, obwohl wir bereits alles an Expedia gezahlt hatten. Nachdem wir mit dem Buchungsbeleg unserer Bank beweisen konnten, dass wir bereits bezahlt haben, haben wir unser Zimmer...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ushguli?
The best area to stay in Ushguli is in the villages of Chazhashi or Murqmeli, which form the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Chazhashi is particularly well-known for its collection of ancient Svan towers, which are characteristic of the region and offer a glimpse into its history. It's the most concentrated area for guesthouses and small, family-run eateries. The layout is quite traditional, with stone houses and narrow paths winding between them, offering direct views of Mount Shkhara.

For travellers seeking an authentic cultural experience, staying in Chazhashi is ideal. You'll be right among the historic towers and have easy access to local life. Many guesthouses here offer home-cooked meals, providing a real taste of Svaneti hospitality.

Murqmeli, just a short walk from Chazhashi, offers a slightly more spread-out feel but still provides excellent views and access to hiking trails. It's a good alternative if you prefer a slightly quieter setting while still being very close to the main attractions of Ushguli.
When is the best time to go to Ushguli?
The best time to visit Ushguli is during the summer months, from June to September, when the weather is most favourable for exploring the region.

During this period, the snow has melted, making all hiking trails accessible, and the average daily temperatures are pleasant, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C. This allows for comfortable outdoor activities and clear views of the surrounding Caucasus mountains and the iconic Ushguli towers. The long daylight hours also mean more time for sightseeing and enjoying the natural beauty.

Couples looking for an active, scenic getaway will find this time ideal. They can enjoy hiking to Shkhara Glacier, horse riding through the valleys, or simply strolling between the ancient Svan towers. The meadows are green and dotted with wildflowers, providing a beautiful backdrop for photography and relaxation.

For solo travellers keen on trekking and cultural discovery, the summer months offer the best conditions for multi-day hikes to nearby villages like Mestia, or simply exploring the four historic villages that make up Ushguli.
