The historic house is situated in one of the most charming and small districts of Tbilisi. The building dates back to the end of the 19th century, and stepping inside, you will be transported to a bygone era.
The old walls in the bedrooms have been impeccably preserved, and you can even see traces of an old chimney. The apartment features two bedrooms, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, all of which exude the same charming and historic character as the rest of the property.
The history of this house is closely intertwined with the family of its owner, Alexandre. The family has been associated with this house for a long and significant period, and they take great care to preserve its appearance as much as possible. For them, it is not just a house, but a symbol of their family’s history and legacy. One of the most remarkable events in the family’s history is linked to this house. During the Soviet repressions of 1932, Alexander’s grandfather’s brother was hiding in this apartment for 16 years. It was a dangerous time, and the family had to take extreme measures to keep their loved one safe. Today, whenever Alexandre and his family look at the house, they remember this difficult time and the sacrifices their ancestors made to preserve their family’s legacy.
Vere, also known as Vera, is one of the historic neighborhoods nestled in the southwestern part of Tbilisi, on the right bank of the Mtkvari River. Its name is derived from the Veri River, and it was previously known as Skvireti (Skoreti), an ancient settlement near the city. Vere's existence can be traced back to the 13th century, although archaeological findings suggest that these lands were inhabited even earlier.Vere played a significant role as an important strategic and trade route, with the road to Trialeti passing through its territory. In the 18th century, the road was guarded by a dedicated detachment known as the "Guardian of Veri Gorge." During the 17th-18th centuries, Vere expanded to encompass the area from present-day Mikheil Javakhishvili Street to Gabashvili Street, including districts like Vardisubani, Vake, Saburtalo, and Akhalshen.Noteworthy landmarks within Vere include the well-preserved St. Andrew's Church, built during the 12th-13th centuries and commonly referred to as the Blue Monastery. In the past, a four-span white-lime bridge spanned the Vera River, constructed in the mid-17th century, but it was replaced in 1932.Today, Vere remains a central and vibrant region of the city, retaining its historical charm while embracing modern developments. It stands as a testament to Tbilisi's rich cultural heritage and offers a captivating blend of tradition and contemporary urban life.
