Schuchmann Wines Château,Villas & Spa

酒店服務包括衞生環境尚可，唯一的遺憾就是客房免費2小瓶礦泉水不夠，到前台提出再給2瓶需自行現金付費。

I really anticipated staying at such a formidable wine estate while attending the Tsinandali Music Festival, located just a few minutes away. The online photos lead me to believe that this was a real luxury resort, at a very high standard. (Those little hot tubs from the photos, however, were not working, and there was no operative mini golf). My experience was mixed: my room in the lodge was dreary and not deserving of a 4 star rating in my estimation. I had to schlep my luggage up to the third floor. My room was very small, not well cleaned, had only basic furnishings and poor quality bedding, the bathroom fixtures were outdated, and there were insufficient electrical outlets. I did, however, enjoy the pool, which was very welcoming and refreshing. My free wine tasting was truly great: I had a personal tour, the guide knew English well, and answered my questions. When I was seated for a tasting, they were more than generous - pouring me 3 glasses of wine along with the Gold Chacha, and then offered to refill the glass which I loved the most. This was accompanied by a lovely plate of bread with regional dips. From here I ordered dinner, which was good, and which was presented in a very straightforward and unassuming manner. While not amazing, it was nevertheless quite good and a solid value for the money. The daily breakfast, served on the breathtaking balcony overlooking the estate, was good, but not earth shattering: there were no fresh breads, and no ready made coffee. The main hot dishes lacked freshly cooked eggs and, while there were cut vegetables, there were no ready made salads. I can't understand why they didn't serve more local fruits, sticking only to melons, as all the local produce markets had a wide variety of seasonal fruits. All in all, I think that the accommodation was slightly overpriced, although the overall experience was certainly positive and memorable.

Hôtel situé dans un vignoble avec 2 piscines extérieures (moyennement entretenu). Très grande chambre en duplex N°8 (2 Salles de bains !) Pas eu le temps d'expérimenter le spa. Visite des "caves" avec explications en anglais et degustation offerte. Le restaurant présente plein de succulents mets locaux ! Quantité servi importante, pensez à partager chaque plat sur la table façon géorgienne :) Evidemment, ne pas hésitez à consommer le vin local (environ 40 lari la bouteille) et conclure sur de la shasha :)
