My family and I visited the Writers' House in Tbilisi and were satisfied. This is a luxurious place in an Art Nouveau mansion that you can enter for free. The staff are very friendly and tell an interesting story of the place. The courtyard of the house is very beautiful and green, it is definitely worth visiting this corner. Thanks to those who take care of this unique place.

An interesting place. When we were there, some kind of event was taking place, and an ancient old lady sat down at the piano in the wooden living room and BEGAN TO PLAY the luxurious delicately restored interiors. And the garden.... With expensive tiles on the terrace, which was created only for the Titanic and the Sarjashvili house.
I wonder why the cafe was removed from the courtyard? It's the perfect place.

We visited the backyard. The local cat likes to spray the bushes, which gives a specific unpleasant fragrance to this place.
The waiters don't speak Russian. I had to wave at them actively to get them to come over the third time, even though we saw them the first two times too.
We ordered Pavlov's dessert: the price and quality do not match. The tea was delicious.
In general, we initially wanted to celebrate the painting with our relatives there, and we were glad that we chose another institution.

A luxurious place in an Art Nouveau mansion.The halls and the museum are packed with elegant Georgian women in evening dresses, photographers and weddings.A dress code is desirable.Flocks of Instagram narcissists are broadcasting from the Garden Cafe in the courtyard.The light here is really gorgeous.The waiters do not speak Russian, but they understand the tip language well.They may not let you in with a dog.Because the local star is a red cat.

In the House of Writers of Georgia, it was originally the home of entrepreneur and philanthropist David Sarajishvili, the founder of several cognac factories, including Tbilisi and Kizlyar. It was Saradjishvili, having been trained by French winemakers, who was the first in Russia to withstand grape alcohol in barrels. They were made from mountain Caucasian oak.
David Sarajishvili built this house for the silver wedding anniversary on the site of his parents' house. The luxuriously decorated mansion quickly became a meeting place for the Tbilisi beau monde. Parties, meetings of artists, discussions, exhibitions and concerts were held here.
Some time after Sarajishvili's death, another Georgian businessman Akaki Khoshtaria bought the house and later even hosted Emperor Nicholas II himself in it. He came to Tbilisi to inspect the Caucasian Front during the First World War.
A few years after the revolution, Khoshtaria left Georgia, and the building passed to the writers and artists of the Georgian Revolutionary Committee. Since then, it has become the House of Writers of Georgia. Gorky, Yesenin, Mayakovsky, Bulgakov visited here, and Osip Mandelstam lived in one of the rooms.
From the side of the yard, the house looks completely different: Its central extension is surrounded by a carved balcony typical of Tbilisi.
Be sure to go inside and into the courtyard. This can be done through the main entrance, by ringing the intercom, or through the gate leading to the courtyard. You can say that you are going to the cafe Littera, which is located there. The prices here are above average, but the place is beautiful.
On the second floor there is a tiled area of the famous Villeroy & Boch factory. It is said that during all this time, tiles with such a pattern were ordered at the factory only twice: for the Sarajishvili house and for the Titanic. It turns out that only this one has been preserved…
