Chateau Mere Hotel  

Set in Kakheti’s wine country among the Alazani Valley and the Caucasus foothills, Chateau Mere is about 6 km from central Telavi. It’s roughly a 1.15‑hour (90 km / 56 miles) drive east from Tbilisi. Pet-friendly and ideal for vineyard escapes.

Housed in a 1,500 sqm stone castle with four pointed towers, this design hotel mixes classic, antique-style décor with modern comforts. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, minibars and some offer balconies with valley or mountain views. The property’s garden and stone courtyards add to the dramatic castle vibe.

Outdoor and indoor swimming pools, a spa center, sauna and a massage room for true downtime. On-site entertainment includes wine tasting, billiards, karaoke, table tennis and a barbecue area. Horse-riding excursions to Ikalto and Sios Marani monasteries can be arranged.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and free private parking. Shuttle transfers to Tbilisi are available on request for an extra fee.

A daily breakfast buffet starts your day. The hotel restaurant serves traditional Georgian cuisine made from organic local produce, and the bar pours local wines and evening drinks.
