Mzia's Garden

Wir wurden herzlich empfangen von der charmanten und sehr freundlichen Gastgeberin. Wir haben uns sofort wie zuhause gefühlt und wurden mit hausgemachter Limonade empfangen. Während wir ihren sehr schönen Garten genießen konnten, hat sie uns ein sehr leckeres und mit Liebe zubereitetes Abendessen gekocht. Auch das Frühstück war ganz hervorragend mit vielen Zutaten aus dem eigenen Garten. Die Gastgeberin ist eine außergewöhnliche, lebenserfahrene Persönlichkeit und wir hatten bis spät in den Abend und auch beim Frühstück sehr intensive Gespräche, die uns die Seele Georgiens nahe gebracht haben. Wer kein Luxushotel erwartet, sich aber wie bei einer Freundin fühlen möchte, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Die Gastgeberin spricht übrigens sehr gut Deutsch.

Mzia has been one of the most memorable hosts I’ve ever encountered. She really is special, although we spent only one morning together, over breakfast she enchanted us with all stories from her life. And the breakfast! What a memorable meal, the only regret is that we booked too late to have dinner too with her!

Mzia est une hôte formidable - chaleureuse, intéressante et une excellence cuisinière. Nous nous sommes régalé et avons adoré la discussion au petit déjeuner.

Mzia is such an amazing host, we spent hours talking to her and wandering through her magnificent garden. We were served insanely delicious food and experienced real Georgian hospitality.

Extremely charming. The hosts are so kind and make you feel at home instantly.

Familäre, liebevolle Atmosphäre, eine wunderbare, interessante und authentische Gastgeberin, die uns auch viel Spannendes übet ihr Land erzählen konnte. Reicher, toller Garten, sehr feines selbstgekochtes Essen!

Séjour exceptionnel chez Mzia, qui nous a accueillies chaleureusement, comme des membres de sa famille. Entre le repas du soir et le petit déjeuner, des échanges très enrichissants et émouvants, au cours desquels nous avons beaucoup appris sur l'histoire de la Géorgie et des géorgiens. La maison est située en pleine campagne dans un très beau jardin, dont on déguste les produits au dîner. Située à 5-10 minutes du très beau site troglodytique d'Uplistsikhe, je recommande cette maison d'hôte qui permet de s'immerger vraiment dans le quotidien des habitants de la campagne géorgienne. Merci encore à Mzia pour tout ce qu'elle nous a apporté !

Mzia is an amazing host, her house and garden are beautiful and we felt at home immediately.

Staying at Mzia's Garden is our greatest memory of Georgia and our most complete experience of the country. We stayed at Mzia's house for the last night of our trip. We spent 5 hours with Mzia around a table full of Georgian specialities, talking about the history of Georgia and Europe, life in the shadow of war, freedom determining the development of countries, the economy and what is most important in life.

An evening with Mzia is a Meeting. Mzia is an extremely insightful, wise, enlightening person, she is a teacher of life. If you are looking for more than just a collection of sights on your travels, if you want to immerse yourself in the heart of the country you are visiting, and if you want to taste the truest Georgian feast, then we recommend Mzia’s Garden

Thank you Mzia for making our stay unforgettable… loved your company by the fire pit, the fresh fruits from your garden and your amazing jams! Out stay at your house is another warm memory from our trip to Georgia 🇬🇪

Mzia is such a lovely person and also a fantastic cook. We were really treated like guests/friends. Rooms are extremely clean and there is everything you need.

Authentic Georgian experience.

The place really stands out of all accommodations we were. Do not think about Mzia's Garden as hotel, and do not expect 5 star hotel design. You are getting something much more. As such level of hospitality and atmosphere in Georgian style of food, talk, house, room design,,, is Amazing.

"Mzia has a magic place,
And she makes it all,
You feel yourself at home.
You honored guest NOT in hotel,
And that is the whole point!
In peaceful village house stands,
Traditionally dressed,
The garden big and full of fruits
At night all stars are seen
You have to come!
And feel yourself
THIS Georgian hospitality! "


Thank you Mzia!

Mzia is the most welcoming woman. Talkative, curious, kind, open hearted, engaging. Mi casa su casa sums up our stay. She let us sit at a table in the open space to be on our laptops and served us homemade juices and cold water and fresh fruit from her trees while we worked. It is peaceful and relaxing. Her breakfast is scrumptious and the dinner was too.

This is a country house with a lovely host, Mzia. When I booked, I was looking for an authentic Georgian house, a host to chat with and a home-made dinner—and we definitely got that! Mzia is very nice. She greeted us at the gate, showed us around, talked to us and cooked a very delicious dinner. We spent our evening having a nice conversation with this lady about everything. It was very nice and authentic and exactly what we were looking for.
It's very close to the Uplistsikhe cave town. It was a convenient stop for us on our way from Tbilisi to Kutaisi.

We had the most unexpected and memorable experience at Mzia's Garden. Mzia was busy in the kitchen whilst we visited the nearby Uplistsikhe caves and then when we returned we ate the most amazing food and heard her wonderful stories at the table, a real privilege.

Mzia is is a very interesting and very kind host

We loved staying with Mzia. Her family have renovated their beautiful old stone house for decades. We had lots of interesting conversations and wonderful food for breakfast and dinner. Mzia was incredibly welcoming and got up early to give us breakfast at 5am!!!!! so we could bicycle 85km to Tbilisi before the wind came up and it got hot.

Mzia is such an excellent host. It is clear that she takes great pleasure in hosting & cooking for guests, and this made our short stay very memorable. If you stay with Mzia, I recommend arranging to have a dinner with her. The amazing home cooked meal that Mzia prepared for us, with a variety of dishes from different regions, was the highlight of our stay!

An amazing experience, the food cooked by Mzia and the wine from her brother are exceptional. The most welcoming stay and can highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. True Georgian experience
