We lived in a hotel nearby, we came to Villa Aquavisi for breakfast/lunch/dinner. a wonderful place with stunning views.
Madonna cooks in such a way that just wow, you don't want to go anywhere else: khachapuri, tortillas, dumplings, ajapsandal. I usually asked for chicken fillet and vegetable salad for dinner — the breast is incredibly tasty pickled, the meat is juicy. There is a very delicious fresh tangerine in spring.
alcohol is available, or you can bring your own by paying the cork fee.
the building of the Villa itself is a terem, very cozy and warm, you don't want to go anywhere, it's like you're visiting a good—natured host, where you are a very dear guest. and the views just need to be seen with your own eyes.
I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff of this fabulous place, where we spent a great vacation with the whole family. We will definitely come back more than once.
Stunning view from the balcony, cozy rooms, clean and cozy.
We ate only at the hotel restaurant.
The best waiter, Irakli, will always prompt, tell and respond to all wishes and requests.
Madonna cooks such dishes that you want to taste them again and again.
Very friendly hosts who create an atmosphere in which everyone is friendly and welcoming.
The best hotel in Gagra. All the sights are close by and within walking distance.
Thanks for the rest.
The villa is located in a picturesque location on a mountain above the Seaside Park. We rented a 2-room suite. The room is chic, in a classic style, solid furniture, 3 Windows, sea view, of course, large balcony, 2 bathrooms, bidet. 9500 per day without meals, a child of 3 years old is free of charge. Nearby and generally on the floor there are no other rooms except ours, other vacationers were almost not heard. The staff is polite and unobtrusive. And everything seems to be fine, but there are also quite a few disadvantages. The bathroom smelled very strongly of sewage and this smell did not go away for all 4 days of our stay, in the bathroom (and only in one) only liquid soap and that's it, no shampoo, no shower gel - somehow very surprising, especially for a suite, we haven't seen this for a long time. But we are not proud - we turned to the staff, suddenly forgot to put it, but no - we are told that this is the most liquid soap 3 in 1 can be used both as soap, as shampoo and as shower gel. Shta??? If we knew, of course, we would have bought all this, but, apparently, we have already been spoiled - in all hotels, even in the simplest ones, they give shampoo and gel, but here we were greedy. And since the villa is on the mountain there is nothing nearby, no shops, the nearest one is probably 5 kilometers away. There is no kettle in the room, no tea, coffee, sugar, only for a fee and only in the cafe. At the same time, there is nothing sweet in the cafe, except jam, condensed milk, no desserts. Cafe. It's the only one and it's not cheap at all. Maybe we had some high expectations, we were guided by reviews, but... in general, the menu is not very extensive, but I understand that the cook cooks seven days a week from 8 a.m. and at least until 9 p.m. alone, poor thing. There are a lot of things off the menu, especially for breakfast. Some are delicious, some are not at all. I did not like the risotto with mushrooms, the warm salad is not tasty at all. Meat in French is chicken fillet with melted cheese - it is peculiar. My husband liked the national cuisine, but I somehow got fed up with it, I wanted something else besides solyanka, hominy and meat in Abkhazian. Well, the main disadvantage is still the location. Her husband could not always drive, and she had to walk up stairs, crawl uphill and a lot, and with a child, she refused to climb so much, she had to carry in her arms. It seems that you look at the map to go to the park 750m, but you just get into the middle of the park, but you have to walk to the cafe (I highly recommend the Abaat tea house) or to some children's activities, or to the store, in general, then return to the mountain in the dark... No, we are not ready for such feats anymore. And in 4 days, the electricity was turned off 4 times, they did not have their own generator, as I understand it, because 3 times out of 4 they were turned off for a long time. Wi-Fi is weak.
A great hotel with a magnificent panoramic view of the sea. We lived in a junior suite with a separate entrance, but the standards also differ in a rather large area and large balconies. All the houses are built of wood, they smell wonderful, excellent quality solid wood furniture, comfortable mattresses, good bed linen and huge towels. I would like to note the staff separately - sincerity, kindness, sincere desire to help. Sincere thanks to Irakli, Madina, and Madonna. The wish is not to lower the bar and - ideally - invite another waiter, because Irakli, of course, is an orchestra man, but he physically cannot keep up with everyone, which is why meals are stretched out in time.
A very nice hotel. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and the water pressure is good. The food in the restaurant is very tasty.
Cons: I had to walk up the stairs in large quantities to go down to the sea; poor sound insulation, sometimes there were problems with the water temperature.
The place is a cannon!
The view is gorgeous!
The staff is very friendly and professional!
The kitchen is on fire!
Irakli, Madina,Zinaida,Alexander (host)A kind woman and a great cook (a very good woman) and of course the administrator, in my opinion, Ivar (a very responsive guy), I'm sorry if not Ivar (I didn't remember))))
In general, the place is cool at the level!!!
P. S Arthur and Katya (room 12)
A beautiful hotel made of a natural log cabin. It smells of wood, the sea is right under the windows- beauty! The price and quality match 100%.The polite staff, the receptionist will solve all your problems, and the waiter will recommend the most delicious dishes! We will definitely come back more than once!
A great place if you are not afraid of climbing uphill (there is an elevator in the neighboring boarding house, you can use it). But upstairs it is not stuffy, not noisy, fresh air and a beautiful view. Very clean, cozy, tastefully furnished rooms. It's a nice restaurant. Friendly staff. I recommend it!
We have been living for 10 days since mid-September. The velvet season is gorgeous. The air is warm. The sea is clear and transparent. The mountains are still green and juicy in September. The place is major. It reminds me of Georgia. The villa is beautiful. The view from the windows is incredible. We rented two rooms for 5 people. Upon arrival, we were warned not to smoke. But we don't smoke, it won't scare us). We were settled in one room quickly, the second had to wait a little, it didn't bother us, because we were hungry from the road, threw our suitcases and left to get food. Everything was fine. Very tasty breakfasts. Everyone tried it. Omelet, pancakes, cheesecakes will lick your fingers. I can't say anything bad, we were greeted very hospitably, conducted with a smile, we also lived wonderful. We were welcome. They responded to all requests. The house has a pleasant smell of wood. The linen is white, always clean, the towels are fluffy. The water pressure is always good. Once the light was turned off from 6-8 (but this is the case throughout the country). Special attention is paid to fire safety. There will be no iron and kettle in the room, the iron is in the laundry room, you can drink tea at the reception. For cleanliness, a separate plus. They are trying and it is noticeable. The staff is sincere, responsive. Vacationing people here are also special. Respectful of each other, quiet and maintain the atmosphere of the place. We have also noted this. We liked the fact that the hotel is on the mountain. Take a walk after dinner, walk along the embankment and slowly climb up to the villa. In Abkhazia on vacation for the first time. They chose the old Gagra. They didn't regret it. No crowds. The place is aristocratic, calm, what we needed for a family holiday. We were satisfied. 10/10. Comfort in small things. We didn't build any illusions. There is something to compare, but I didn't want to compare. We were driving behind the transparent warm sea, swimming, sunbathing, eating shish kebab and khachapuri)) Everything went according to plan. Grandma was with us, she liked it too. Our children were tanned and bought up))What else is needed for happiness)) No intestinal infections were picked up. Everyone was scared of it. The new Gagra is more mobile, more modern. But we really liked it in the old one. Of the minuses, there was not enough pool for us. For that, the view from the room compensates for everything, by the way, it is from all the rooms on the sea)) . It's cool here. And also, if you yourself treat with respect the house where you came to visit, then you will get double in return. What a hello, such an answer!!! I arrived in a good mood, follow the minimum rules of this house and you will feel doubly good!!! By the way, the villa has excellent wine. It's a pity that we found out on the last day)))
Villa Aquavisi - won my heart!!!!!
We rested at the Villa for the second time and are already planning a new trip!
Very sincere, cozy, family atmosphere, caring staff and the hospitality of the hosts, envelop with warmth and hospitality!!!
The Villa itself is located in the mountains, offering stunningly picturesque views, chic rooms and huge balconies, the best restaurant with delicious food and excellent service, sauna with a font, barbecue area, everything is done with love and they leave the most pleasant memories of this place!
I thank from the bottom of my heart the hosts Alexander and Vladimir, Madonna-Chef from God, Irakli, Danya, Alina, Diana, Laura, our vacation was wonderful and unforgettable!
We'll be back soon🤗
We live next door in a hotel and go to this hotel for lunch. Everything is at the highest level!!! ✨ ⚡️ ✨
We think next time we will stay at this hotel, if we manage to book seats in advance... I definitely recommend this place! ✨ ⚡️ ✨
A nice quiet place. The morning breakfasts from Madonna are simply magnificent, as they say, the cook is from God, a low bow to the cook. I would also like to mention the always polite and friendly staff. The rooms are clean and cozy.
We chose Aquavisi villa for living in Abkhazia and did not regret it! The staff is very polite, the kitchen is gorgeous!
The rooms are equipped with everything you need, you feel at home)
The view from the balconies of the rooms is very beautiful.
We will visit more than once and recommend it)
The hotel is beautiful!
The restaurant in this hotel is the best!
They cook incredibly tasty, special thanks to the cook
The portions are very large and delicious👌☺️
The waiter is very friendly👍
He generally gets a separate bonus😎
This is the second time in Abkhazia and we visit this restaurant, we are very satisfied!
A beautiful villa, delicious budget breakfasts, a beautiful view of the sea, you are in the mountains, walked a little, went down by elevator to the sea.
The staff is polite and friendly. The rooms are clean and cozy. I would also like to especially mention the restaurant and express my great gratitude to the chef Madonna for the amazing dishes.
The hotel is good, the service is good, the kitchen - how super chef Madonna cooks is just amazing. There is no view from the balcony of the room. Yes, it's not cheap. And there are also an infinite number of steps that you need to go down and up to the sea and to the hotel
A magical place in the center of Old Gagra! Due to the fact that the villa is located on a mountain, the balcony offers stunning views of the entire coast of Gagra. The hotel is a small family-run hotel with its own home-cooked cuisine, it is simply divine, there is a large selection, you can try both Abkhazian, Russian, and European cuisines. The room is very clean, luxurious wooden furniture, a huge balcony with stunning views, music in the room. 7 min walk to the sea, descent to the sea by elevator of the pension Colchis, the beach is clean with fine sand. We thank all the hotel staff for their care and a great vacation, especially Alexander, Vladimir, Madina and the Chef from God Madonna! We are already planning a new trip to you!

A beautiful house in a beautiful place. The rooms are cozy. The staff is wonderful, especially the cook and the waiter, very nice people. They cook delicious, the only few items are from the menu, some dishes have not been tasted in 10 days) Very mediocre cleaning. During the whole vacation, they never dusted the furniture, the layer was such that it was possible to draw and they did not wash the plumbing. But overall, everything was great. We will have the opportunity to come back and recommend it to our friends
A very beautiful villa and a view like in a fairy tale! It is located high, 1.5 km up from the Abaat fortress to the left. The Kalhida boarding house has an elevator for descent and ascent for everyone (this is where the shops are (not far from the villa)). The staff are sunny bunnies. The restaurant has the most delicious dishes in Abkhazia.
I removed the asterisk because there was no access to wifi all the time. Moreover, the person had it next to him, but I didn't. Then vice versa. There are no plates in the room, but there is excellent air conditioning.
You can write a lot, in general, if you have an active lifestyle, then this place will only brighten up your vacation!
A wonderful place, gorgeous views and surroundings. The food in the restaurant was delicious, the service was excellent. You wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the sea.
An amazing place, modern, beautiful, high-status, vacationing in August 2023, friendly and helpful staff, delicious food in their restaurant, wonderful views from windows and balconies.The rooms are large, with a split system, bathroom and all other necessary amenities.
A nice clean hotel with very tasty cuisine,kind staff, decent staff. It's 10 minutes to the sea, But my friends, the view from the bomb hotel.The prices for the dishes and the yield of the portion are enormous . upon request, they can cook whatever you ask. The waiter Irakli is certainly the most positive person. I bow low to Chef Madonna. Who is thinking of going or not, do not think you need to go there.
A stunningly beautiful place, a wonderful house made of pine, it breathes very well.Everything is done with great taste.A huge room and a huge balcony with a super view.Excellent cuisine, helpful hosts and all the staff of the hotel.To the sea 5-7min.there is an elevator in the nearby hotel.I recommend staying here!!!
A very cozy place, courteous staff, there is no congestion of people, as there is a very small number of rooms, I consider this a big plus. Good cuisine! The only point: it is located above sea level, 100 meters. There are two ways to go down/up: the stairs directly in front of the Villa, or the elevator located on the territory located on the right 150 meters from the Villa.
Great hotel, we had a rest at the end of September 2022. The villa is very beautiful, everything is made of wood inside. Beautiful view of the sea and nature from the balcony. Panoramic windows overlooking the sea in the restaurant. The reception is responsive. The only drawback: the organization of cleaning leaves much to be desired- without a reminder, shampoo with shower gel was never brought, cobwebs on chandeliers. The hotel is not for the elderly and children, as the road to the hotel is to climb quite high up the mountain. The food in the restaurant is delicious, but not varied and expensive.
We have been staying in Akavisi for the third year in a row and we will be happy to come again: only here do you feel Caucasian hospitality with modern service. All issues are resolved quickly, Alexander and Vladimir always go to a meeting. Special thanks to Madonna - her cuisine is something that you definitely need to try! I definitely recommend it for a relaxing holiday and an excellent view of the sea!
It 's just awful ! The impression of the hotel is the saddest. The only good thing here is the view from the room. At the entrance, we were warned that cigarettes should not be smoked in the room and on the balcony, but Icos and glo are allowed. All this time we quietly smoked glo on the balcony and threw sticks into the trash in the bathroom, also at the entrance they said that wet cleaning was about changing towels for every 4 days, well, 5 days later we changed the bed and changed towels, but the next 5 days-no, we also took things to the laundry for a fee, but things were bouncing back with heels. The hose broke in the bathroom and there was no switch from the shower to the faucet and vice versa, instead there is just a pin sticking out, we reported this to the reception, on the second day we gave a hose and a tool with the words "well, change it yourself." After the first change of towels, no one changed them for the second time, we talked about it to the staff for two days, in response we only heard one word "good", when once again we went down to the reception to remind ourselves once again, we were told that everything would be done tomorrow, but after a couple of minutes to us an indignant maid runs into the room and starts to eliminate the scandal for us, that we blame her and came up with everything, as a result, our dispute did not last long, she just slammed our door and left. Then the owner of the villa called us to talk and his first words were "why should I shoot you here for cigarettes in the room", we just got old from such loud and inappropriate words from an adult, but still began to calmly conduct a dialogue and try to convey to them that these are not cigarettes, but glo, here it starts again the maid climbs into the dialogue and begins to prove that these were bulls and begins to switch to a raised tone and continue to accuse us that we came up with and did not notice the change of linen and towels, then start yelling that no one complained about her before us, in the end it all ended up that we just once again They calmly asked to change the linen and towels tomorrow. Also, the hotel has poor noise insulation, the person in the hotel is aggressive and customer-oriented, immediately takes the position that everyone around is to blame. Vila is beautiful and clean only in the photos on their website, in real life it looks completely different
An amazing place! The European level in architecture, design and furniture made of real wood is everywhere!
And Madonna, the cook, cooks from the bottom of her heart, tried all the Abkhazian dishes and could not choose a preference)) all of the highest class 🫶
And of course the stunning balconies overlooking the boundless sea!
This is the best place I've been on the Black Sea coast💜
Wonderful staff!
Purity
We have been to this place many times and have never regretted it. Very good-natured hosts, staff, good and tasty, and most importantly varied food. The villa is located on a mountain, a very nice, clean, peaceful place. If I plan a trip to Abkhazia, then only there.
A very good hotel, helpful staff, the range of the restaurant is not large, but the food is delicious. Stunning view from the balcony. Beach towels are available.
Great hotel. 5 out of 5!!!
Right everything about it is wonderful.
We will definitely come back.
Excellent staff Dima in the restaurant, Vika.
The fact that the villa is located upstairs is even a plus, because away from the music in the evenings on the coast :) Well, the view from the room is a fairy tale!
I would like to draw attention to such little things :)- shampoo and shower gel were only available upon check-in. When cleaning the room (cleaning was daily) they were not reported.
The highest level of serviceSoulful , cool, delicious sooooooooo the coolest villa and vacation you can dream of!!! Clean , beautiful , cozy, the views can be crazy, how cool 🔥peace and quiet ❤Everything is beautiful!! The sea is nearby 🌊
I booked two rooms in this hotel from July 12 to 18, 2023, and paid 18,810 rubles. On July 11, friends who were vacationing in this area sent a video of how everything was flooded because of the rain. We decided not to risk going there with the children. The hotel did not even warn us about the natural disaster, so as not to refund the money for the reservation. When asked to return the money, she was refused. I believe that the owner and staff of this hotel were obliged to warn about the disaster - the flood and return the money without any requests.
A great little hotel. Everything is clean, neat, calm. The style of the chalet in the mountains. I am pleasantly surprised by the hotel and the service. Hearty breakfasts. The cook feeds "for slaughter" and is delicious. It is located on a mountain in front of the sea, a gorgeous view without unnecessary noise, only the sound of the surf. The fact that you need to go up and down serpentine stairs is even good, firstly, the original architecture around, and secondly, excellent cardio training. We liked everything. Thanks to the staff and the management of the hotel!
For the first time we rested at the hotel on May holidays .
We returned for the second time in September and did not regret it. Everything is just as delicious, clean, morning, comfortable, wonderful staff! Recommended, I recommend and I will recommend! In the photo , a portion of vegetable salad😅 you can safely take for two , as about all the food 🙈 well , breakfast is love 😍
We have been vacationing at the villa more than once and when the question arises where to stay in Abkhazia, of course here. Many years ago, driving by, we noticed a wooden log cabin with gorgeous views on the mountain, and decided to go in. The hospitable hosts Alexander Viktorovich and Vladimir met us. We are such a pleasant family that we come as if to ourselves. There is always cleanliness, cordiality and delicious quality service. Alyona has been a calling card for many years, her radiant look and "knock, knock, your order is ready" left peace and quiet in her soul. Now she is being replaced by the younger generation of Victoria and Danya, a surprisingly sincere young man. They are always friendly and ready to help. The entire staff of the villa corresponds to the owners, I do not want to single out anyone so as not to offend.
But there is one thing, the rooms do not have a full set of dishes for fruits and drinks. Of course you can ask, but it's not convenient. And access to the coffee machine only through the waiter is inconvenient. Otherwise, everything is fine and even climbing 300 steps is not difficult. Thanks for the rest.
A wonderful hotel, wonderful and hospitable host!
We had a great rest in the "off season" - silence, peace and just an incredible view from the balcony - an overview of Gagra and the sea!
We fell asleep and woke up to the sound of waves and a small "waterfall".
It was a thrill for us to go down 300 steps to the sea, maybe for someone it will be an obstacle, but believe me - the view of the sea and sunsets from the balcony is worth it.
This is a great hotel! Clean, cozy, there is a place to eat, the staff is pleasant, very calm and quiet. The view from the balcony is gorgeous
I definitely advise you! The only thing is to go to the sea
We had a rest from June 24 to July 3 at the hotel. A wonderful hotel, amazing management and staff. But, special thanks and thanks to the great guys Danil and Sofia, who work at this hotel, for their sensitivity, responsiveness, we just fell in love with them. I would like to come back here again.
An excellent hotel! A hospitable host, Beautiful furniture, high-quality linen, a chef who can cook incredibly delicious local dishes according to your order - all this will make your stay in Gagra unforgettable! And as a bonus - 300 steps to the beach (if you don't want to pump up your ass - a taxi for 100 rubles or an elevator nearby is at your service) The location of the hotel is also wonderful - right above the colonnade, which is a symbol of the city))

Let's start with the main thing. A squalid place with a squalid staff who do you a favor for being here. They charge a lot of money for a stay, but the service is lower than those where it is cheaper. In the cafe, 90% of the menu is missing from the menu. Of the breakfasts, only eggs fried in a terrible amount of butter and pancakes. There is always borscht from the first, pasta from the dishes, fried potatoes.It is not cleaned, the tables are dirty, napkins are never on the tables. They clean the tables with the same cloth that sweeps the garbage from the chairs. Wishing you a pleasant day is an option for those who have just checked in or left a tip. Now to the accommodation: dirty, clean up with a kick in the ass and a request. The bed linen was changed twice in 14 days. When they asked me to change it, I heard in response: "maybe you didn't notice? You were changed yesterday." The director of this villa threatened to shoot for the steers left in the urn, although they were sticks for heaters and clarified the possibility of smoking sticks upon check-in. The shower hardly turns on due to the lack of a switch on the mixer. The hose was cracked and on the second day the watering can came off. The next day they gave me a hose and gave me the keys with the words "here, you can handle it." It's absurd at every turn. One kidney wasn't working in the bathroom, and the next one started flickering. They asked to replace it, but naturally they changed the one that was flickering. In the shower, the curtain is so dirty that it feels like it's 5 years old. The soap in the dispenser probably costs two years and they just add soap there and dilute it, that when pressed it flies around and does not remain in the hand. Pastel white but with spots, with holes. A double bed is two single beds pushed together, with different sheets covered. There is no sound insulation, the neighbors can be heard snoring. dirt at every step. The laundress does not know how to wash, stains do not come out. After the scandal, they stopped saying hello. The railings at the entrance are rotten, parking spaces are very bad-there are none, local cars are always parked. The road to the beach is a descent down the broken steps through the neighbor's yards. There is an elevator of the neighboring boarding house. Downstairs on the embankment it is always bustling and noisy, a disco ship floats in the sea until one o'clock in the morning and does not let you sleep. In general, I address the director - there is no worse place to rest. Work on the staff, the junkie waiter was completely misunderstood. and your attitude towards visitors, take away your arrogance. You are not above everyone and the dirty villa is proof of that. It is more terrible than the "room" for sleeping, otherwise it cannot be called.Like for the view from the balcony
I never managed to check into this hotel. I booked a room for 4 nights, the manager warned me that I would have 2 nights at the stand.in the room and 2 in the suite. I agreed and made an advance payment. They wrote to me that they would send me a voucher. 2 days before the trip, I called the hotel to check if everything was in order and where my voucher was. I was told that they could not accept me for 4 nights, since the manager in the system noted only the first two days, and forgot the second two. As a result, another person has already booked the room. They referred to the fact that this manager has already resigned. What a service! What would you have done if he hadn't quit? So-so excuse. This is a pure blunder of the hotel administration. You must be responsible for the actions of all employees. They offered me to return the prepayment, or check into a nearby hotel for 3800 rubles on the third night. I had a 4-night trip, i.e. for 4 nights, look for yourself what we can do. That is, I had to change 3 hotels in 4 nights. As a result, 2 days before the trip, finding a decent room in Staraya Gagra is still a task, I called all the hotels, basically everything is occupied, even in the Abbot for 8500r. As a result, I found a hotel for 4 nights. But I can't even tell you how much you've ruffled my nerves!
A great vacation . Excellent staff. I visited my relatives as a guest . To the sea , Even what I was waiting for was a 15 - minute walk through very beautiful places , past abandoned castles ! The sea is very gorgeous , there are always few people. A wonderful cafe on the beach with a playground.
We have been vacationing in Aquavisi for 10 days since July 13, 2022. Of course, against the background of general devastation, this is just a pearl. Although you girls will have to carry the suitcases yourself. And we lived on the top floor in room 15. The hotel guests helped well. There is a constant unpleasant smell in the bathroom from the hole on the floor, which was explained by rains and some kind of air plug! And finally: a humiliating inspection of towels and bed linen, which the young lady from the reception shakes in front of you, for the presence of dirt stains! The horror!
