Staying in Vardzia for 3 nights at Gvala was a great decision. Most people do day tours to the caves and only spend 1.5 hours or so before eating at the restaurant and leaving back to Tbilisi or Kutaisi. That is a lot of driving for a rushed tour of a massive cave city complex. If you're coming this far, stay overnight and do so at Gvala. The photos of the area don't do it justice, as the landscape is more dramatic than we expected. There is some nice hiking/ walking opportunities from the entrance to the caves and fortress ruins worth visiting. The area is in the countryside and was a refreshing break from the rest of our busy trip. There's no bank or atm in the area so make sure to bring enough cash with you. Tomas and his wife were very nice hosts and extremely generous with their food and wine (and chacha). Breakfast (20 GEL) and dinner (30 GEL) were delicious and there was always more than enough food. Everything is homemade including the honey, jam, and wine. For one dinner they brought us terrific kinkhali from a local restaurant. Tomas was helpful shuttling us in the area and we even had an after hours visit to the local sulfur bath. They also helped us with our laundry for free. Saba, their grandson who helps them over the summers, is very attentive and fun. He speaks excellent English and was very helpful for us when communicating with his grandparents. Whenever we were relaxing he was offering us complimentary coffee, tea, and juicy watermelon to snack on. We had a great time and are very happy we stayed at Gvala.

Tirebi Guesthouse was definitely more than I expected. The location was very convenient considering it was only 10 mins by car from Vardzia Caves, probably the main attraction of the place. The breakfast was by far the best breakfast I had in 20 days in Georgia, the host family was lovely and helpful. They offer tons of extra activities and I very much regret I did not plan more days in Tmogvi (where the Guesthouse in located) and sign up to all of them. When I will visit Georgia again, I will definitely be back there.

Koba and Angelina (and bubu the dog) were very kind and generous hosts. This was the perfect place to stay and enjoy Angelina's delicious home cooked food and Koba's homemade wine after exploring Vardzia. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. They even helped us arrange transport back to Akhaltsikhe. Highly recommend!
