  • What a beautiful place with 9th century built. Especially interior part.. one of the most impressive small exclusive church to be respected and visit. Interior has beautiful mosaic wall in one of altar. Super thick wall to warm the space , candle light that made the interior charm. Interesting seating for nun and those century function still well kept inside.
  • A very beautiful place. Gorgeous garden with all sorts of flowers, humming bees, spacious green lawns. Also the way to the spring through the forest is really nice and quiet and the spring is so refreshing
  • Absolutely stunning monastery. The large building is pretty new but it’s gardens and chapels are just absolutely stunning. You can though it’s new it’s still on my favorite monasteries in Georgia.❤️
  • Lovely! This entire convent area is so beautiful with a rose garden and other flowers. Such a relaxing visit. Don't miss seeing where St. Nino is buried in the smaller older church. If you follow the trail at the back you can visit the holy spring, but it's further down than you think!
  • Stunning views, fresh air and an overall sense of calm and serenity. The churches are amazing and the gardens outside are so lush and full of life.
