B&Bs in Shahdag

Lovely family! The experience of staying in a family home in such an isolated village in the heart of the mountains is amazing. No English so we used Google translate and mime and lots of smiles! They speak Azeri and the local village language. I am vegetarian and the food was excellent (lentil soup, fried potatoes, fresh vegetables, plov rice, etc.. Plus meat if you want it). And the lovely wife made me a cake for my birthday! So kind (and delicious). We walked to the next village (2-3 hours each way on a very easy path) and walked up into the hills and down to the river. Dramatic scenery. And we found a beer in the local tiny shop! Super clean outhouse squat toilet (bring your own toilet paper) and hot shower. Lumpy beds but you can easily just put a mattress on the floor. A bit chilly in our bedroom so bring your warm jersey. Bonus: Wifi and mobile data available. Fully recommend. Thank you!

Nothing is better than staying with a lovely local family! I loved every bit of it. Good breakfast and home cooked dinner. Amazing views from the house.

Elnur was very much helpful. He took care of everything. Introduced me to the place and made sure I would feel comfortable. The view from the window was imaginary. I couldn't believe it was real.
