It is not the largest dacha of Stalin in the region, but it is the only one with a telephone. Not all rooms are accessible to the public. The cinema room, which has a billiard table, is closed. Stalin's private bathrooms are closed. I advise you to look through the windows from the terrace, you will see more. The views are simply magnificent. The price of the visit is symbolic, I recommend it as an element of touching the history.
The entrance to the museum is paid (it is unclear why), several rooms are absolutely not interesting, unpleasant and rude ushers or owners are sitting at the entrance. Entrance is allowed only to the second floor, the first floor is very neglected, you can look through the windows and see the remains of the interior. It's a shame that such a museum is in decline, the first floor is not being monitored at all. Frankly speaking, the museum is not even supported, it is unclear where the money is going at all. It was visible through the windows that people even live in some rooms of the museum (i.e. they rent for a certain price). The other two buildings (kitchen and dining-living room) are closed to the public.
If you have the opportunity to go to the cottage on the Rizza - go there for an excursion, there is not much to see here..
The place itself is very picturesque, but the cottage itself consists of 2-3 rooms, nothing remarkable and interesting. The guide in one room tells a 10-minute story and then you watch everything yourself. We recommend that you simply pay 150 rubles for admission when visiting. But respect to Abkhazian women for resourcefulness and pressure 😅
A terrible tour is conducted for tourists, they just wash out the money, everything is under repair, you can't go anywhere, for a tour that lasts 10 minutes, 500 rubles.
Like all of Stalin's 5 dachas in Abkhazia. We visited one, and that's enough. Stalin's wooden decoration. Dachas have been tired for a long time. built in 1947. They used to meet the guests of the President of Abkhazia, now they are driving tourists, there is not much to see
The cottage is located on a hill, with a beautiful view of the sea and meadows. Entrance is paid, 50 rubles. You can see the building from the outside, inside is empty. The building is dilapidated
The cottage looks good, but as for the tour, it's a waste of money. The guide is uninteresting in telling the story of this cottage, while being only in one room, which is very stuffy because of the crowd of people. Therefore, if you decide to visit this cottage, then buy a ticket without an excursion, since this tour will not give you anything, you will only spend money
The place is saturated with the energy of a bygone era, the greatness of a country that no longer exists is felt. A good opportunity to touch the past, to see the places where life - changing decisions were made
In itself, a beautiful place, a beautiful view of the sea, but the beauty of the ruins, everything is in disrepair, requires repair, I do not advise going on an excursion, they do not take the tour through all the rooms since the rest are in disrepair, but paying for a couple of rooms, well, as they say, is the master's business.
Interestingly, it is worth visiting, the entrance is 150 rubles without an excursion, with it a little more expensive. The balcony offers magnificent views.
It's worth seeing how the Great Stalin lived once. Decoration, scale, view from the balcony. Crystal windows, carved boxwood ceiling, sea water in the bathroom, drinking water from a silver bowl....
A historical, very atmospheric place. Greatness is in everything, in every detail and even in the little things. I recommend it, it is very interesting with a guide.
This is the third summer cottage we have visited this year. It's not interesting without a guide, I warn you right away) The whole relish is in legends and eloquence. There is not enough information on the Internet, so do not skimp on the guide

There is nothing worthy of attention there. More conversations. I do not recommend it. It's a waste of time. The short story of the guide was not impressed. The cottage itself is not in the best condition due to dampness and lack of proper care.
The place is interesting. An epoch is being transmitted. It's not far to walk. Near the monastery. Inexpensive. For a child (10 years old) They didn't take anything. From an adult 200 rubles. But it's neglected. And it would be fine if only the building (maybe they keep their original appearance), but you can keep an eye on the garden around...another negative thing is the staff. There is so much irritation and discontent, as if this is not their job, and we still dare to ask questions.
It's a shame that they brought it to a state of ruin, although they take money from visitors. Sadness, it's good that the employees did not live up to the years when the Owner lived
It is located in a beautiful place, the view is awesome, the cottage itself is modest inside, an office, two bedrooms.a boardroom, and a billiard room. Well, the story is interesting to listen to.
It's not interesting, there's not much to see, the same type of rooms. Modern air conditioners, a TV, and a water heater are especially striking. It's a pity for the time spent. Everything is not well maintained. I don't recommend it.
It is interesting to see how Stalin lived, but the cottage itself requires space repairs, it is sad that the kitchen next to the cottage does not work, and the second building is generally abandoned. The tour itself costs 150 rubles. Per person, with a guide, 300 rubles, at the time of writing the review.
I'm delighted. It's like I've been on a time machine in the past. I was struck by the modesty of the decoration. How the needs of that elite differed from those of today.
The area is not very well maintained, there is no toilet. Entrance fee is 100 rubles. + entrance ticket 150 rubles, if without an excursion (with an excursion it is more expensive, you wanted. But there was no guide). Well, as it is, the cottage is like a cottage, it was interesting to see. The ushers are on their own wavelength.
The guide knows his job!!!!! We learned a lot of new and interesting things!!! The children (16 and 10 years old) listened with their mouths open!!!!! Sooooo liked it!!!!!
We were at the New Athos Monastery, and decided to walk to the cottage. The distance is small and therefore, I think, it is worth visiting the cottage for those who visit the temple. The cottage itself looks modest, but good-quality, it's a pity that it is neglected now. Tours are conducted inside, but only on one floor. There are lanterns of that era around the cottage. It's worth a visit.
Very beautiful architecture, luxurious interior decoration. The whole area is surrounded by greenery. Century-old cypresses, tangerine trees, laurel bushes, persimmons, palm trees. It is interesting to visit this object, literally touching the history. But two stars for a very modest, short tour and, most importantly, a disgusting attitude to the historical cultural heritage. Most of the premises are not allowed because of their emergency condition. It is very sad to see such a beautiful complex go into oblivion. It seems to me that in a few years it will be possible to show only the place where the dacha of the highest party officials was.
I recommend to all connoisseurs of history to visit Stalin's dacha in new Athos, the price is 200 rubles, an excellent landscape and a lot of memorable photos. Stalin's cottage is not far from the New Athos Monastery
I was on 06.10.2022 with my family (2 children and a wife., one of the children is under 10 years old). At the entrance through the central gate from the embankment, guards in non-uniform clothes began to extort 50 rubles from each. There is no ticket office, no tickets either. When refusing to pay, one of the guards tried to physically kick us out and not let us in. There was alcohol on the table in the security booth. I was ready to call the police (they don't have the police, but they still have the police). The police department is located on the seafront 200 meters from the entrance gate to the museum. They let cars with tourists through without charges. As a result, they missed it for free. The guard has a sign hidden in the booth that entrance to the territory is paid, without specifying which territory and without specifying the cost. For information: at the entrance there is a sign of the State dachas of SA. Entrance to the museum itself is also paid. The museum consists of 3 buildings. I advise you to visit the museum, but the staff themselves are bouncers, extortionists for a drink right at the workplace.
We were at this cottage, everything is overgrown, but it is very beautiful and there is a special atmosphere. The entrance to the territory of the cottage is 50 rubles, the entrance to Stalin's apartment is 100 rubles, children are free up to 10 years old. It was interesting to see.
There are two ways to get to the cottage - one directly from the road passing through Mount Athos and the second is to first climb to the Athos monastery and from there to the cottage. Entrance to the territory of the cottage is paid -50 rubles. The entrance to the cottage itself also costs money. If you go up from the road, you will have wonderful views of the sea. Horses and cows are free on the territory, so be careful and look at your feet. The cottage itself is not very large inside, literally five rooms will be available to you. I really didn't like the fact that there are a huge number of bedbugs and other insects all around the curtains and the balcony. For those who are afraid of insects, I highly recommend not visiting the cottage.
The furniture at the cottage is the simplest. My grandparents had exactly the same cabinets and armchairs. So those who expect to see luxury there will be very surprised. Externally, the cottage is very bad in places and even falls to pieces. Therefore, take care of your head on the balconies so that nothing falls on your head.
One of Comrade Stalin's five dachas in Abkhazia.
It is conveniently located, when approaching it from the Athos Monastery, if from the sea from Lakoba Street, then you will have to walk for a long time and always uphill
). Others, Stalin's three dachas in Abkhazia
2. By Lake Ritsa
3. On the Cold river (in Gagra)
4. To Musser.
This one is located in New Athos. She seemed to me to be in better condition than the others. Completed, all cottages seem to be on the same project. It is finished not in a baggy, vulgar style, but with restraint, emphasized strictly, but from expensive woods.
The tour is short, for exactly 100 rubles, which are charged for it. Without an excursion, the ticket is 100 rubles, with an excursion another 100.
Everything is well maintained, clean and interesting)
The basement is under renovation. Through the window you can see a billiard table, a broken table....
Interesting. Going down from the cottage to the sea, we met a small herd of horses, photo here.
It is interesting to see where Stalin lived.They tell in detail about his life in Abkhazia.It would be possible to make a theatrical performance with a double of Stalin
1. If you go around the arch covered with wild grapes, you can go out onto the terrace with a beautiful view and the classic facade of the guest house. It's a pretty romantic place. The correct setting when photographing can give a rather unexpected result.
2. Another interesting place will be just above and to the right of the summer house. There is a luxurious terrace overlooking the sea, the Sukhumi highway, and you can partially see the Iver Fortress. It is better to come there after 12:00.
3. The most interesting and mysterious place will be if you go to the left from the fountain. There are remnants of an old (possibly pre-revolutionary) collector. The answer to the question "what was it used for" will help you find holes in the wall that adjoins the road that leads to the cottage.
