We feel like staying at home: comfortable, quite location, nice food, rest area and wonderful owner. The village is very nice and 'authentic', with good views on a valley and in 10min drive from the center of Sheki

Hello there! I'm Arzu, a dreamer who followed her heart from the bustling streets of Baku to this enchanting ancient village. Nestled in the embrace of time, I've poured my heart and soul into curating a haven of comfort, serenity, and positive energy. Come, experience the warmth of a place I've lovingly crafted, where every soul feels at home, and every moment is a celebration of tranquility. Welcome to my dream come true!
Step back in time to the 1870s when this historic house came to life, built by two silk fabric-selling brothers. Imagine weaving looms humming in the courtyard, and secret escape routes within the house to fend off relentless fabric-hungry robbers. In our quest to restore this treasure, we've painstakingly preserved its unique north-western Azerbaijani architectural charm. The pathways and walls are crafted from the very stones that once lined our local river, while the tiles and window frames have been lovingly revived. Today, the heart of this house beats in our family cafe, where you can unwind with a steaming cup of homemade Turkish coffee or a frothy cappuccino. And when the sun smiles upon us, sip your coffee on our patio, serenaded by the sweet melodies of local birds. Every nook and cranny tells a story, like the handcrafted wooden sinks and mirror frames, lovingly created by a talented local craftsman from the wood of our own region.
The house is located in just steps away from the ancient Caucasian Albanian church, which is said to have been built by the prophet Elisha. Not so far from the village are the ruins of Gələrsən-Görərsən fortress, which was built in between VIII — IX centuries. In about 2 km to the North from Kish, one can find remnants of old Qaynar village. There, one can enjoy picturesque views on Caucasus mountains, waterfalls and forests.
