The house, built in 1918, is in Racha, one of Georgia’s most beautiful mountainous regions. Racha is particularly popular with both locals and tourists in all seasons of the year.
The house has 2 floors. The house has all the necessary equipment, bathrooms, and two independent bedrooms and is perfect for 4 people.
The first floor is made of stone, with a fireplace, a traditional Rachuli wine cellar, and pitchers.
The second floor is made of wood and has an interesting family history.
During the Soviet Union, for some time, Mariam’s great-grandfather had the upper floor of his house taken away, removed, and taken to the end of the street, and a pharmacy was opened in it.
After that, Mariam’s great-grandfather put his hat on backward and said that until this perverse life was over, I would not recover for some years and after the struggle, he regained the house’s second floor and put it on the first floor again.
Mariam takes special care of the house built by her great-grandfather. That’s why she decided to make Racha, a well-known and beloved area to Georgians, to be loved by foreigners as well, and she stayed in the centuries-old house built by her great-grandfather for them.
Racha had been part of Colchis and Caucasian Iberia since ancient times and its main town Oni was said to have been founded by King Parnajom of Iberia in the 2nd century BC. Upon creating the unified Georgian kingdom in the 11th century, Racha became one of its duchies (saeristavo). Rati of the Baghvashi family was the first duke (Eristavi) appointed by King Bagrat III. Descendants of Rati and his son Kakhaber, the eponymous father of Racha's ruling dynasty of Kakhaberisdze, governed the province until 1278. In 1278 King David VI Narin abolished the duchy during his war against the Mongols. In the mid-14th century, the duchy was restored under the rule of the Charelidze family. The next dynasty of Chkhetidze governed Racha from 1465 to 1769. Vassals of the King of Imereti, revolted several times against the royal power. The 1678–1679 civil war resulted in the most serious consequences. In this war, Duke Shoshita II of Racha (1661–1684) supported Prince Archil, a rival of the pro-Ottoman Imeretian king Bagrat IV. On the defeat of Archil, Racha was overrun and plundered by an Ottoman punitive force. Under Rostom (1749–1769), the duchy became virtually independent from Imereti. However, towards the end of 1769, King Solomon I of Imereti managed to arrest Rostom and abolish the duchy. In 1784, King David II of Imereti revived the duchy and gave it to his nephew Anton. Local opposition attempted to use an Ottoman force to take control of Racha, but the victory of King David at Skhvava (January 26, 1786) temporarily secured his dominance in the area. In 1789, the next Imeretian king Solomon II finally abolished the duchy and subordinated the province directly to the royal administration.
