Central Guest House

Sighnaghi


Just off Erekle II moedani and overlooking a deep, green valley, the Central offers a wide choice of neat, clean, wood-floored rooms with private bathroom, in a pleasantly converted 200-year-old house. The brick-walled dining room is decked out with historical photos and artefacts, which friendly English-speaking hostess Ana likes to explain to guests. Camping is also available (20 GEL per tent).
