Nana's Batumi Gem: Georgia's Most Stunning Apartment Awaits!
Nana's Batumi Gem: Georgia's Most Stunning Apartment Awaits!
Nana's Batumi Gem: Forget the Stock Photos, This is Batumi Bliss… (and a little bit of chaos!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I’m about to spill the tea on Nana's Batumi Gem. Forget those meticulously crafted, sterile hotel reviews – this is the real deal. And let me tell you, it's… well, it’s something. But mostly, it's bloody fantastic. Let's dive in, shall we?
Accessibility? A Mixed Bag, Honey.
Right, so let's be upfront about this. The website says "accessible," and while the elevator is a godsend (thank you, sweet baby Jesus!), the devil's in the details. Wheelchair access isn't perfect everywhere. Some areas feel cramped. So, if your mobility is a serious concern? Call ahead. Seriously. Check it out. But the elevator itself? Gold. Absolute gold. Especially after a big Georgian feast.
Eating Your Heart Out (and maybe a few extra pounds): Dining, Drinking, and Snoozing on Your Plate.
Listen, the food situation at Nana's is a vibe. Let's start with the restaurants. There are several, and boy, do they offer options! A la carte, buffet, international, Asian… it's a culinary Choose Your Own Adventure. The breakfast buffet? Delightful, but a word of caution, folks: It's easy to load up on the deliciousness and forget about things like pants. I may or may not have spent an entire afternoon regretting those extra khachapuri.
- The Asian breakfast? Intriguing. I tried the ramen one morning, and it was… interesting. Let's just say it wouldn’t win any awards in Tokyo, but it was filling and a decent way to start the day.
- The Poolside Bar? Pure. Bliss. Sipping a cocktail with the sun beating down? Yes, please. Just watch out for the seagulls. Those feathered fiends are ruthless when it comes to snacks.
- Room service (24-hour)? Genius. Especially when you're battling jet lag at 3 AM and crave a midnight snack (which, let's be real, is always). The bottle of water miraculously appeared after the long trip.
The Bottom Line on Grub: You’ll eat well. Very, very well. And probably a little too much. But who cares? You're on holiday!
Relaxation Station: Steam, Sauna, and Swanky Pools
Alright, this is where Nana's really shines. The pool with a view? Jaw-dropping. Think shimmering water, sun-drenched terraces, and cocktails. Pure Instagram gold. (I may have taken several photos).
- Spa/Sauna: I indulged, obviously. The sauna was perfectly toasty, and the steamroom was a cloud of bliss. I’m not even a massive spa person, but damn, this was good. I'm not gonna lie, after that foot bath, I felt like a completely new human.
- Fitness Center: They have one, and I intended to use it. Keyword: intended. Let's just say the pool and the buffet won out most days. (Blame the khachapuri!)
- Massages? Apparently, divine. My neighbour raved about hers. I missed the memo, but now I'm adding it to my list of things to do next time.
- Body Scrub and Body Wraps: The same neighbour also raved, so it's on my list for next time
Cleanliness and Safety: Seriously Impressive.
Okay, amidst all the fun, let's get serious for a sec. Nana's takes cleanliness and safety seriously. I mean, seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, staff trained to be saints, and hand sanitizer everywhere. And a doctor/nurse on call. It felt genuinely safe, which nowadays is high praise. I even appreciated the individually-wrapped food options. They got it right. They also had a first aid kit.
Rooms, Rooms, Glorious Rooms (and Tiny Quirks):
Okay, the apartment itself is… gorgeous. Let's not beat around the bush.
- Air conditioning? Check. Essential.
- Air conditioning in the public areas? Obviously, also essential.
- Blackout curtains? Thank the heavens, especially if you’re trying to sleep in after a proper Georgian feast and a few too many cocktails.
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!? Hallelujah!
- Internet access - wireless and LAN The internet was great, the signal was strong.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: That's more good news!
- Coffee/tea maker? Yes! And it's important!
- Safe box? Yes!
The décor is modern and stylish, with beautiful views. My view faced the ocean, and it was pure heaven.
The bed linens? Crisp and clean. The towels? Fluffy. Bathtub? Wonderful for soaking tired muscles after exploring. And the slippers? The most comfortable slippers!
What wasn't PERFECT? There was a small issue with the the bathroom door.

Nana's Apartment Adventure: A Rollercoaster of Emotions (and Khachapuri)
Day 1: Arrival – The Land of Unexpected Delights
- Morning (ish): Ugh, the flight. Let's just say budget airlines and tiny legroom are not my friends. Landed in Batumi! The air… smells like the Black Sea and something vaguely floral. Already a win. Taxi driver probably saw me coming a mile away; negotiated a price I think wasn’t highway robbery.
- Afternoon: Finally! Nana’s Apartment. The building… well, it's got character. The elevator looks like it’s survived a war (so has my suitcase, honestly). Nana, bless her heart, greeted me with a hug and a smile. Her English is… charmingly limited, but we managed. The apartment itself is… cozy. "Charmingly cluttered" might be a better phrase. There's a balcony overlooking… something. Not exactly the Eiffel Tower, but hey, it’s Batumi.
- Evening: First REAL Georgian food experience. Found a little hole-in-the-wall. Ordered Khachapuri. Oh. My. GAWD. That cheese-filled bread… I’m pretty sure I could live on it. Devoured the whole thing. Feel a little ill, but in the best possible way. Walked along the boardwalk, watched the sunset. Batumi is… surprisingly beautiful. The dancing fountains? A bit cheesy, but I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.
Day 2: Seaside Shenanigans and a Very Strong Coffee
- Morning: Woke up at, like, 10 am. Jet lag is a brutal mistress. Nana had (somehow) left a plate of delicious, freshly baked bread on my doorstep. The woman is a saint. Coffee. Needed. Badly! Wandered down to the beach. The Black Sea is… well, it's black. And a bit rough. Sat there watching the waves, feeling utterly lost in thought (and slightly hungover). The beach is not for swimming, it's rocky, but perfect for looking at the sea.
- Afternoon: Okay, I tried to be cultured. Visited the Batumi Botanical Garden. Holy moly. It’s massive! Got completely lost (again). Saw plants I didn't even know existed. It was beautiful, but I'm a city girl, so I was ready to get back to the city again.
- Evening: Found a restaurant with live music. Ordered more Khachapuri (surprise!). Met a guy who claimed he could speak like 8 languages. Watched him order in broken English, trying to sound cool. I almost died of laugh, but it's funny.
Day 3: A Little Bit of the Beautiful Old City, and A Taste of the Real Georgia
- Morning: Walked a little around the city. This time I was alone so I could enjoy better. Walked around Europe Square, saw the Medea Statue, all super nice. I had this weird feeling like I've been here before.
- Afternoon: Tried to take the cable car up to the mountains. But the lines were horrendous. Decided to ditch that idea and get some coffee. Went to this little shop for a double shot of espresso, and almost died from the strength and energy.
- Evening: Went to the Chacha Tower. So much chacha, I'm actually surprised I'm keeping it together. The tower itself is pretty, but the music was a bit like something from a weird movie. Didn't stay there for too long.
- Night: Ordered a pizza at a street pizzeria. Ate it sitting on a bench. Watched the people walk and laugh. It was the best thing I've had in a long time.
Day 4: Delving Deeper - Churches, Wine and the Soul of Batumi
- Morning: Visited the Batumi Cathedral. Gorgeous. All ornate ceilings and flickering candles. Almost forgot my own name I was so caught up in the beauty. Religious buildings always make me feel small and important, even if I'm not religious. It was awesome.
- Afternoon: Wine tasting! Oh, Georgia knows its wine. It was at a little family-run winery just outside of town. The family, bless them, spoke even less English than Nana. But the wine! The full, robust… did I mention the wine? I think I bought a bottle of everything. I have no idea how I am going to get back but who cares?
- Evening: Found a restaurant with live music. Ordered more Khachapuri (again!). The music was incredible. Real, raw, mournful tunes. I swear I could feel the history of Georgia swirling around me. I drank more wine and felt happy. Started talking to the waiter, who told me about his life. He's going to be some sort of a driver, and he will travel all around the world.
Day 5: Saying Goodbye (Maybe Not Forever!)
- Morning: Okay, packing is officially THE WORST part of any trip. Nana, super-sweet, left me a little box of chocolates. I actually teared up a bit. (Don't tell anyone!).
- Afternoon: Checked out. Said goodbye (with a hug) to Nana. She gave me a little something (more food!). Taxi to the airport. I'm going to miss this crazy, beautiful place.
- Night: Flight. Tired. Thinking about that Khachapuri… and the wine… and everything.
Honest Assessment:
Batumi: Unexpected. Unpolished. Unforgettable. Totally worth the bruised legroom on the airplane. I'll be back. And next time, I'm buying Nana a year's supply of chocolate. And maybe learning a few Georgian phrases. Or at least how to say "more Khachapuri, please!"

Nana's Batumi Gem: Questions Before You Dive Headfirst (Like I Did... TwicE!)
Okay, Okay, Batumi. Beautiful Coastline. But *Why* Nana's Apt? What's the Big Deal?
Alright, buckle up. This ain't your average "hotel room with a view." Nana's place… it's got *soul*. Seriously. I'm not usually one for flowery language, but I stayed there last year and, I kid you not, I almost moved. Okay, I *really* considered it. Think of it like this: you're not just renting an apartment; you're renting a piece of Batumi's heart. Nana, bless her, has poured her heart (and likely a small fortune) into making this place special. It's got this… warmth. Like a giant hug from a Georgian grandmother you never knew you needed. And that balcony? Oh, the balcony. We'll get to that. But first, the *why*: personality, location (prime, even if Google Maps *insists* on taking you down a dirt track the first time), and that general feeling that you're not just a tourist, you’re… well, you’re almost family. Seriously, that's the vibe.
What's the Apartment *Actually* Like? Pictures can be deceiving, you know...
Okay, fair point. Photos are often... overly optimistic. But Nana's apt? The pictures don't quite do it justice. It's… spacious. And clean! Really clean, which is a huge win, especially after a long day of walking the beach. It's got everything you need: a proper kitchen (I cooked khachapuri! And yes, some of it actually ended up *inside* my stomach!), comfy beds, strong Wi-Fi (essential for streaming your embarrassing Georgian travel videos to the world), and that all-important balcony. The design is modern with a Georgian twist; I mean, it’s not stark and sterile, but it’s also not cluttered with a grandma's porcelain collection (thank God). Think good quality, comfortable, and… well, you feel at home *instantly*. The only downside? You might not *want* to leave.
Tell Me About This Balcony... Is It Really THAT Magical? I'm Not a Believer of all these "breathtaking views" you know.
Alright, let's talk balcony. If I had to choose just one thing to rave about, this is it. The view? Spectacular. The Black Sea shimmering in the sun (or, at least, the sun *trying* to shimmer behind the clouds – Georgian weather can be a little…moody). The city lights twinkling at night? Romantic as hell (I, uh, went back for a second time with a date, lets just say that). But it's more than just the view. It's the *feeling*. Sipping chacha (carefully, mind you!) while watching the sun set. Eating breakfast while the city wakes up below. It's a place to breathe, to reflect, to maybe even have a minor existential crisis (hey, it happens). The best part? It's large enough to actually *use*. Some balconies are glorified window boxes. This one? This one is like a second living room. Yeah, it's magical. Sue me.
Location, Location, Location! Is it actually *convenient* or are you going to spend your whole vacation dodging stray dogs?
Okay, let's be honest. Batumi's got a lot of... let's call them "characters." And yes, there are stray dogs. But Nana's place is perfectly situated. You're close to the beach (like, a *very* short walk – perfect for those impulse dips in the sea). You're also within easy reach of the main attractions: the Alphabet Tower (yes, you'll take photos, it's compulsory), the Ferris wheel, the Dancing Fountains (touristy, maybe, but still fun late at night after a couple of beers). Plus, the location is relatively quiet, which is a godsend after a day of navigating the Batumi crowds. You're also surrounded by actual Georgian life, not just tourist traps. The best shaurma (or as they call it here, shawarma) is like two blocks away (trust me, it's important). The market is super close (where, by the way, you can buy the *best* strawberries I've ever had in my life). So, yeah, convenient. Very. And no, you won’t be dodging dogs constantly.
Is Nana Around? Do I Need to Speak Georgian? I'm terrible with languages.
Nana, sadly, isn't usually *in* the apartment. She's got people who take care of things. But, the thing is, you won't ever feel like you’re a number – they are friendly and helpful if you need them, but they won't crowd you. And the best part? They speak *perfect* English. You don’t need rusty phrases to survive, although a few basic Georgian words will be appreciated. I managed fine with my terrible language skills. You’ll be fine. They are the definition of hospitable. They're more than happy to offer recommendations of places to eat, things to do, and generally keep you out of trouble (a valuable service, trust me!).
Okay, Sounds Great. But What's the Catch? There's got to be a downside! Is the building falling apart or something?
Alright, let's be real. Perfection is a myth, and I have found some minor flaws. The only real downside is… the parking. Batumi, especially during peak season, can be a parking nightmare. Plan ahead, or be prepared for a little walk (or for the helpful staff to help you out!). Honestly, It's not a dealbreaker. And sometimes, the elevator in the building gets a little… temperamental. But hey, it's part of the charm? Plus, good exercise! Otherwise? Honestly, I'm struggling to find major faults. Okay, one more minor one: the internet can sometimes be a little… flaky. But that’s the Georgian charm! It’s like the universe is telling you to just… relax and enjoy the view. Plus, it’s a small price to pay because the the apartment itself is just… great.
Is This Place REALLY Worth the Hype? Would I Go Back?
Absolutely. Without a doubt. In a heartbeat. I went back *twice*, didn't I? I’m already plotting a third trip. This isn't just an apartment; it's an experience. It's a slice of Batumi, a dose of Georgian hospitality, and a damn fine place to just… be. You’ll have a story to tell, not just a vacation you’ll be boasting about for years to come. It's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, savor the moment, and maybe even learn a few Georgian phrases to impress the locals. So, yes. Book it. Seriously. Before I change my mind and book it again myself!
