It's a very cool place, it's a pity that not all buildings are available for visiting. We were in Stalin's dacha itself. Female guides like a tape recorder tell the same story every 15 minutes standing motionless in one of the rooms) An entrance ticket and an excursion of 500 rubles. it seems, plus 50 for entering the territory itself. It's funny, there's no special information, but it's enough for a casual acquaintance) It was very interesting to walk around the territory, thickets, devastation and riddles, it would be possible to conduct very cool excursions if desired, there are plenty of mystics there) but there are none)) A beautiful view from the observation deck, Stalin's cat, with its solidity denoting its own fundamentality inside this place... It took us 1.5 - 2 hours to explore this place.
I definitely recommend this cottage for a one-time visit!

A gorgeous place! It's so simple, but still atmospheric, especially for history buffs like me and my boyfriend!
The minus for which you took off the star, one is the guide(s)? We paid for the ticket, went and looked around the halls. At some point, they decided to go into another hall, and there are people sitting there, a woman is standing, leading a tour. They immediately tell us from the threshold "exit through the balcony!", we answer that we are not going out. "Are you on a guided tour?" (with a claim) - "No, just to see" - "Then take a quick photo and go."
Well, no. I paid a dime, I'll look at exactly what I'm interested in. The lady guide was silent for 5-10 seconds of our calm inspection (and general silence). The young man left, and I went to look at the sideboard located at the other end of the hall. The lady guide said with displeasure and rudely: "You can wait until the tour is over and come back later." I'm a non-confrontational person, but I answered honestly (hinted to her, yeah): "I do not know how long the tour will end, so I cannot wait. You can talk, I'm not listening." I reached the sideboard, took a couple of photos (there was crystal there like in my grandmother's closet, all the decorations were very well chosen (or maybe Stalin also had those crystal salad bowls there :)), I was going to go out. One of the guides sitting around decided to clarify that "We are listening, girl." I replied that it was wonderful, I was not bothering them, listen to your health. After that, I went out and, as requested, closed the door behind me.
The story turned out to be interesting and incomprehensible. Message: for the first time I see a tour guide who so zealously does not want to talk in the presence of other people (= who did not pay). It's her right. But she is an employee of this place and one of its representatives. Why couldn't you say everything politely so that it was a request, like, please wait three minutes, we'll finish the tour and you can come in and see everything. No, you have to talk to me like I'm breaking into private territory. I don't accept such things, it's unprofessional to think that I, as a museum visitor, owe someone something.
Otherwise, the place is very cool, the visit is inexpensive, so I advise you to visit!

We walked on our own, on foot to Stalin's dacha in New Athos, the road is interesting, there is a bamboo grove and fruit plants, and what kinds.. The cottage itself is very colorful and interesting from the point of view of architecture, but!, the buildings are not being restored, in some places repairs are already required (especially where wooden floors and floors), otherwise a few more years and everything will collapse, they are allowed to enter (having bought the operation) only one building (and there only a few rooms), and there are 4 or 5 of them on the territory. Gorgeous views save the situation (especially from the terrace and gazebo).

An interesting place. Beautiful views open from the balcony of the second floor. Entrance is paid as everywhere in Abkhazia, not only is it paid not only to the house itself, but you also need to pay at the checkpoint for entering the territory. In the house itself, you can only enter the rooms on the second floor, the first floor can be viewed through the windows. Although paid tours are conducted in the building, no one wants to invest and restore the building. Why not bring the whole building to a satisfactory appearance remains a mystery, but there are a lot of abandoned buildings in Abkhazia. The musty smell of the old building is clearly felt through the open windows of the first floor. The guide, who is also the cashier at the entrance, will tell the story of the house in five minutes and send the whole crowd of tourists to photo shoots in open rooms.

Nature and the building are just a magnificent sight, breathtaking from the construction made back in the USSR, from the remains of fountains, roads, lanterns, ... BUT the condition of all this is simply deplorable!!! This is a question for the administration! How can you launch such an attraction like that, because the whole country is traveling, there is a flow of tourists. A big request, even a plea: allocate funds already for the restoration and support of attractions! You have so many of them in your beautiful Abkhazia

It is not as difficult to get to Stalin's other dachas in Abkhazia on your own. The balcony offers a magnificent view of the Black Sea coast.
Admission with a guided tour cost 300 rubles. Speaking of the tour, it lasted no more than 2 minutes. The guide, an elderly lady with a wand, told about the materials of the doors, crystal windows, the height of the ceilings and how often Stalin himself came to the country. Then we went alone to inspect the rooms.

I went to Abkhazia for the second time on a tour. For the first time, everyone chose to visit the temple (I do not remember which one) and did not get to Stalin's dacha. Two and a half years later, my husband and I went on a much-vaunted tour. The guide, to put it mildly, was overrated. I don't remember my name. A handsome man, but with terrible speech defects. Does not pronounce letters and confuses endings. It's unpleasant to listen, but not about that. We arrived at the cottage. The views, of course, are excellent. The General's quarters, beautiful landscapes and sea views. They charge 300rubles for the tour. What it includes: a five-minute monologue from a museum employee and her indifferent "go, take a picture, don't touch it with your hands." The staff is sitting in the lobby, making mistakes with the guides, and you're walking by yourself.They didn't give me a walk around the territory either, the guide was always in a hurry. In general, the impressions are not the best.

The cottage was built in the 20-30s of the 20th century. Stalin often visited. It is now in a neglected state. There are guided tours. You can get there on foot uphill from Mount Athos, by taxi. There is a beautiful view around, but everything is overgrown, there used to be a garden. It can be combined with a visit to the New Athos Monastery, everything is nearby.

The summer residence of I.V. Stalin in New Athos is in a very deplorable condition. We arrived on our own, there were no tourists or tour groups, we asked for an individual tour, and for the appropriate payment we were refused! They offered to go through the rooms open to the public on their own, or wait for an excursion group to arrive. We examined it ourselves, took pictures, asked to briefly tell the story of this Cottage, also received a refusal and advice that everything can be read on the Internet. Extremely unfriendly staff!
The views around are fantastic.

Admission is about 250 rubles, the beauty is indescribable. It's just right for photos and impressions. We had no excursions, we had enough of our own imagination.
Stalin's horses, Stalin's seals, and sometimes Stalin's dogs run in packs on the territory of Stalin's dacha. The latter are very frightening, it is better not to go alone.

Good day to all , I would like to tell you about visiting Stalin 's dacha . We expected more interesting episodes from the life of the Secretary General held at this dacha . It would also be interesting to find out who and when of the Soviet leaders of the country visited the dacha . Instead, we were told when the air conditioners were installed, when the furniture and the chairs were changed, no excursions around the cottage, nothing at all from the word. It was a pity for the time spent . The only plus is nature

The facility is in terrible condition. As they say, there would not have been such stuff under Stalin. There are several rooms available in the cottage itself, and they require renovation. Moreover, they charge 300 rubles for the "excursion". The employee talks for 5 minutes, then says: "go, look, take a picture." Get off me. They're probably collecting for reconstruction. The lower floor of the cottage is simply collapsing. 2 buildings nearby are overgrown, as if there were some kind of pests inside. It's not even worth going in. Moreover, they charge 50rubles for entering the territory.

Employees who collect money are rare boors. They sit in a crowd of people, cross-legged, chatting among themselves, and until they start yelling at you, you won't even realize that they are employees. After the walk, we witnessed how they beat up an incoming woman, and in response to a remark asking them to behave more politely, they continued to shout with the claim that this woman did not even greet them at the entrance. Nonsense. They behave like housewives. Angry, loud. It's a very unpleasant aftertaste.
But about the cottage itself. Entrance to the territory is 50 rubles per person. An inspection of the cottage without an excursion - 200 rubles. We visited a couple of rooms and an office. It's not interesting. There is scant furniture, somehow filling the room. Naked, sad. The Ritz is much more interesting. The lower floor is closed to the public. All you can see through the windows is a billiard table and a lot of junk and complete ruin.
The territory - if only the sea view. It may be worth a visit, but it's everyone's business here. We were disappointed.

For the entrance to the territory they charge 50 rubles and for the entrance with an excursion to the room itself another 300. You can't just watch without an excursion. The territory is also small. It's not worth the money. The only thing is the views are beautiful, other angles

It is impossible to imagine a more disgusting excursion. This is not even an excursion - you give 250 rubles just to see a few rooms in a ramshackle building, whose historical origin as Stalin's dacha is in great doubt. The three aunts who collect money for admission are not given any ticket, receipts, brochures - nothing, they are just very busy discussing the series they are watching. Everything in this place is in the deepest desolation and ruin.

Дело было вечером, делать было нечего... Т.е. Во время отдыха Новом Афоне вышли на прогулку. Мимо водопада, церкви Симона Канонита, оливковой рощи, Новоафонского монастыря побрел мы на дачу Сталина. Никаких денег на всем пути следования с нах никто не попросил, дача была закрыта. Позаглядывали в окна, полазили по округе... Внутри разруха, вокруг красота неимоверная. Если бесплатно, рекомендую, если за деньги, то подобных видов в Абхазию много.
Прогулка удалась, обратный путь прошли другой дорогой - спустились по извилистой дороге к набережной, погуляли по Приморскому парку, в Хачапурной взяли хачапури и домой. На всю прогулку ушло часа два.

An authentic place to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the last century.
Stalin used about 20 dachas scattered across different regions of the Soviet Union. The main ones are:
1. The dacha in Kuntsevo, near Moscow (Kuntsevskaya dacha) is one of the most famous and often visited by Stalin.
2. The dacha in Sochi is a popular vacation spot for Stalin, located on the Black Sea coast.
3. Cottage in Gudauta, Abkhazia – another cottage on the Black Sea coast, used for recreation.
4. Cottage in Matsesta, Sochi – located in the resort area, known for its healing waters.
5. The cottage at the Nearby cottage in Khost, Sochi is another of the favorite residences on the Black Sea coast.
6. Cottage in Livadia, Crimea – located in a picturesque place, used for important state meetings and conferences.
Stalin visited the dacha in New Athos several times, although the exact number of his visits varies according to different sources.
An on-site tour costs 200 rubles.

Странно впечатление , были до этого на даче на холодной реке , там чисто , ухоженный дом , нет разрухи, вежливый персонал , проводили индивидуальные экскурсии , вообщем претензии не было , решили посетить и данное историческое заведение.
Здание в разрухи , в окнах ( куда не пускают ) видно обвалившийся потолок на шикарный бильярдный стол , на хрустальных стёклах пыль , паутина , и надписи на пыли Москва 2023, территория практически вся закрыта, гостевые дома закрыты , в дом нас даже не пустили.
Да много экскурсий групповых, понимаем , раз зашли , сказали подождать пока закончат и что со следующей мы ( два человека без экскурсии) сможем зайти , на второй раз говорят то же самое , ещё 15 минут , сам персонал просто сидит на диванчиках при входе , в итоге самостоятельно туда попасть не получилось.

It is a pity that the observation deck on the cliff was damaged by the war.And of course, it is desirable to put the whole complex of the cottage in order, probably many more interesting things can be seen.
