A quiet, beautiful historical place. After all, I.V. Stalin knew a lot about beauty, the views around fascinate with their beauty!
The cottage is in relatively good condition, but requires renovation. The premises located on the territory are dilapidated, but it's a pity…
The tour is interesting, it is better to take an individual one, thereby saving yourself from being accompanied by a crowd and calmly walk under the interesting story of the guide and feel the energy of the place.
You can take a ride on the chief's boat on the lake.

I rate the cottage itself, and the nature around, of course, by 10 points out of 5. It was 09/22/24, you can get there by any car, the road is good, the entrance to the cottage without an excursion is 250 rubles per person, if you just walk around the territory - for free. There is little furniture inside, the toilets in the bathrooms are pink (obviously not from the time of Stalin). It was the first Stalin's dacha that I visited - for general development, you can visit, but nothing, absolutely nothing special inside. The main thing that we did not regret coming is a beautiful free photo zone, free parking and catamaran rides. There are traffic jams in the main part of the Ritz, there are no free places to park the car at all, and if you find a place, it takes a long time to walk along the road to a place where you can take a catamaran, crowds of people, crowds, etc. And from the side of Stalin's cottage everything is much calmer, parking 50 m from the shore, photos from the lake are amazing. The cost of the catamaran is 500 rubles per person for half an hour, a child of 3 years old is free of charge. Not cheap, as it were, and a strange price tag (why from a person, and not for a watercraft? As if 1 person can rent and sail), I don't know how much it costs on the main shore of the Ritsa, probably also. But the catamaran is in excellent condition. You can also rent an electric catamaran. You can also ride on a wooden boat with scarlet sails. The photo area on the swing is for a fee. They sell citrus and pomegranate juices. 200p huge glass (delicious, not poisoned). There is a cafe 50m from the cottage, we did not go in, we did not eat. In general, if you want to park and ride in peace, then I recommend here.

A very iconic place for those who are just over 30 years old. The era of "the most elite holiday destination is Abkhazia, and in it the highlight is Lake Ritsa" here acquires a visible embodiment. It's a pity that not all the territory is well maintained and equipped. The cottage itself is maintained in its proper form, but the area around it is partially falling into disrepair. The fountain that is in the sight of tourists is working and more or less cleaned, and the one above and not in the walking area of excursions is broken and not working... However, as always, the legacy of the post-Soviet space on the territory of Abkhazia is a pity.
