Cənnət Baği Guest House

Azerbaijan


This large, simple homestay is set in lovely landscaped cherry and apple orchards right at the entrance to the village. Four cottages come with private bathroom. The attractive house has shared toilets and shower on the yard but its private hammam (bathhouse) is a popular bonus (free for homestayers, extra for campers).

English-speaking Cəsarət İsmailov ('Jessy') is almost always in residence and can rustle up guides and horses at relatively short notice. Reliable quality meals (dolma AZN6, beer AZN4) are available in the very pretty garden.
