Fancy the mountains but not being in the center of "ski-ville"? The Garden Hotel in Pasanauri might be for you, less than 80 km outside Tbilisi. Relax in their garden or on the terrace, grab a bite to eat in the restaurant or a drink at the bar. 

Each room comes with a balcony, wardrobe, flat-screen TV, a private bathroom and  free Wi-Fi. Some rooms even get mountain views, so ask when you book to guarantee an extra-special stay.

When you're done relaxing, why not go hiking? The staff can recommend the best route for you nearby. Gudauri is 23 km from the hotel.
