We stayed here for a night while hiking the TCT in Armenia. Cosy homestay, a host with a heart of cold, steps away from the village centre. We loved our stay

Nothing, everything was perfect :)

We loved everything about our stay, especially the host Alla. She is a lovely person and an excellent cook,( we ate some of the best food we had in Armenia here) she also runs some very interesting workshops on pottery, carpet weaving and soap making. We had a great time chatting with her and learning about Armenian culture. Photos are true to the property, everything is clean and comfortable, the property also has a lovely garden with a beautiful view of the mountains. Location is a five minute walk to Sanahin monastery in one direction and to the Mikoyan brothers museum in the other, it’s also only a short drive to Haghpat monastery and Akhtala fortress.

Cozy house, cleaned and warm. The host was magnificent, thoughtful and helpful. The workshop were really interesting, we enjoyed them a lot! Food (dinner and breakfast) was super and plentiful. Everything was real and with meticolous attention to detail. A real insight into the armenian culture (the host speaks english very well and was glad to answer our questions). 10/10 Thank you!!!! <3

It was pretty cold in the room, but electric blanket did the job and let us sleep well. Thicker pillow would be more comfortable.

Both Marina and Alla were very hospitable and helpful. Tasty and plentiful breakfast and dinner.

The host welcomed us at the night, explained everything well. It’s very cold season but luckily they have an electric blanket which totally saved our ass! I also like the decoration of the house - traditional Armenian carpets, antiques and old tradition stuff / handcraft. The granny is very proud of her homemade breakfast or food (we only ordered breakfast), which is rich and delicious, and almost every ingredient is grown and planted by her.

Only one night?😅😅😅

Everything was perfect, Marina welcomed me from the first moment as if I were one of her family... I can confirm that the score on booking is more than deserved. I also asked for dinner and breakfast not included in the price of the room but trust me it's worth it. The price of the meals was overall cheap. Marina thank you for all the efforts you make to make your guests' stay unforgettable. Thank you, you succeeded with full marks... See you next time

Marina prepared a large and delicious traditional breakfast and dinner, and she also kindly arranged a taxi for me. Everything is great, except that Marina didn’t know her breakfast settings on Booking.

I highly recommend Pottery House. We had a wonderful stay. Marina and Alla are very friendly and helpful. Alla gave my daughter a great pottery class. The building looks a little rough from the outside but inside it is clean and tastefully decorated. Marina made us a lovely dinner. The view of the mountains was fantastic and it is right near the Monastery. We got a car to Haghpats and walked back on the well marked trail. It was well worth it.

The only thing that wasn’t ideal for me was the pillow and the dogs barking at night but I’m a light sleeper. I had to use my earplugs and the noise issue was solved!

Pottery house is a gem in a stunning location, just a few minutes away from the Sanahin monastery. Alla and her mom Marina are the sweetest people, they cook delicious food if requested (vegetarian options available) and always get out of their way to help out and meet your needs. Marina would bring me coffee and cook up some quick meal for the road to make sure I was never hungry. They also helped me arrange a taxi to get to my next location. The food they offer is from the market or even from their own garden! Everything is clean and sustainable! I really loved it here, I felt at home.

Wonderful place, the best in Armenia. Women who run this home stay are super welcoming and super friendly. You immediately feel at home. If you want, they will tell you some interesting stories about the city, the monastery or daily life in Armenia and if you are interested in some handcrafting there’s pottery masterclass and art therapy. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean. The food (you can order breakfast/ lunch/ dinner) is really delicious. Last but not least, you are 2 minutes walk from the Sanahin Monastery (free entrance) and you can enjoy it anytime you want.

A very nice stay with friendly hosts. Comfortable room, hearty meals. The monastery minutes away.

Lovely guesthouse in Sanahin, just around the corner from Sanahin Monastery. Rooms are really clean and comfortable. Host is incredibly sweet and will make you feel right at home. Very peaceful with a lovely yard to enjoy. 10-15 minutes walking to bus #3 that can take you to and from Alaverdi. Highly recommended.

It was amazing to stay with Marina. She has a kind heart and makes exceptional food. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a great home stay experience

We were there at night and it was really hard to find this house. The internet connection was poor in the city, but the city residents were really nice and helped us to find this place

The host and her mom were really professional and hospitable. We took part in pottery classes, it was such a nice time. The house was clean, the food was delicious! And we had two double rooms instead one for for people.

Great location and excellent hosts! Definitely recommend the excellent dinner, it was truly delicious!

Alla and Marina are fantastic hosts, who made us feel very welcome. Marina cooked delicious breakfasts and dinners for us! Their house is cute and authentic, situated in the mountains of Armenia, from where you can easily visit the monastery of Sanahin, and make an amazing walk to the monastery of Haghpat.

The Pottery House is situated in a quiet, scenic spot high up in the mountains of Armenia. Marina and Ala are most hospitable.
