Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Areni

Everything was perfect. The breakfast with a view was magic. Highly recommended!

This guesthouse is one of the best we stayed in during our trip to Armenia. The people who work there run a winery, as one of the guys explained to us. We had the opportunity to taste their homemade wine and products during dinner and breakfast. The dishes they offered us were delicious and very tasty. The rooms were modern and simple. The common outside space was big and perfect for relaxing, thanks also to Choko, their sweet dog. And the position is perfect for visiting Areni-1 cave and Noravank monastery, two pearls in during our trip.

the view, the atmosphere in the house, the hosts are easy to reach, Vardges is a great mountaineer, Antuan is always in touch, TLDR, recommend for sure !

The property was exceptionally clean and well decorated. Better than the average. The family that hosted us speaks English and were very helpful and friendly. They also prepared breakfast for us.

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.

A very pleasant stay. Great breakfast and dinner. The owner is very helpful.

Nice location with a great view on mountains. Very welcoming hosts. Spacious room. During the winter, be prepared to pay some extra for heating, which is reasonable: the heating costs a lot in Armenia
