As soon as we saw the kangaroo sign in the driveway we knew we were in the right place. Fantastic location, very comfortable accommodations and very obliging Australian hospitality. The property is exquisite - couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Magical oasis in a wonderful country. The owners made us feal really welcome and gave us an amazing tour of the property and some really great and interesting conversations. The beds were super comfortable and we slept really great. You can really feel the energy from the origin of human civilisation in this part of the world. Creates a special energy and calmness.

Areni Lodge is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed in my life. It felt like a dream. Tucked into a quiet, storybook village with the world’s most breathtaking monastery perched on a hill just twenty minutes away, the lodge sits beside a gently winding river and is surrounded by vineyards that seem to breathe history and stillness.
But the real magic is in the details—the hand-built picnic tables, the winding walking paths, the fresh pastries and homemade wine, and the in-progress pergola that somehow already feels like it’s always belonged there. Every inch of the property feels like it was created with love. And strangely, beautifully, it feels like home.
Len, the host, is always building something—always imagining, always creating. His vision extends beyond hospitality into something more generous and rare. There’s a small world here that he’s carefully curating for children and families, a dreamscape in progress.
The rooms are spacious and warmly designed, each with a wide balcony overlooking the river and the ancient monastery above—a sentinel that’s watched over the valley for centuries.
We shared beautiful conversations. I’ll carry those with me. I’ll carry the stillness of the hill, the taste of the wine, and the feeling of belonging.
How could I ever forget?
Very nice lodge near the main Areni attractions with amazing views on the surrounding hills.
Rooms are comfortable, clean and the owners are very nice.
Our stay at Areni Lodge was just amazing !!
Beautiful property, managed by beautiful people !
Room was great , the view was breathtaking and very close to all the things to see and do in the area. Will definitely stay here again next trip to Armenia .
Areni Lodge is a charming eco-lodge with a fantastic location. The proprietors are friendly, welcoming and very knowledgable. The Lodge, on the Arpa River, is walking distance from wineries, restaurants, the main village area and the magnificent 14th century church. The view from the deck over looking the river puts you close to nature, we saw the Ibis and various birds of prey. There are many things to do in Vayots Dzor region and should not be missed. Breakfast was healthy and delicious and the beds are comfortable. Highly recommended!
