Although I didn't stay in this guesthouse, I was able to tour the property and was very impressed at how the owner had spent considerable time and money to restore her family home into this comfortable guesthouse.

With a history that goes back many generations and over 300 years, Khachats Toun offered a culture-savvy traveller like myself a unrivalled opportunity to discover the real Armenia, away from the tourist trap. Meghri itself is already one of the most stunning places in Armenia, with it's four small castle towers, fresco-filled renaissance churches and stunning, other-worldly mountain valley nature. But the owner of the guesthouse Shahaneh, a descendant of the family that built the house centuries ago, really goes out of her way to make sure you feel like Meghri is your home rather than a city you just visit. It isn't only about one thing.
