Artem & Naira Barseghyan Guest House

Artem & Naira Barseghyan Guest House is a bed and breakfast in Vardenis, run by the Barseghyan family since 1999. It offers rooms, home-cooked meals and organized tours built around local culture, nature and history.

The hosts arrange visits to cemeteries with khachkars (carved memorial cross-stones), trips to mineral hot springs, and meetings with local craftsmen. A garden on the property has seating areas and tea made from herbs grown on site. Within 150 meters of the guest house, guests can join a workshop to carve their own khachkar.

The business describes its approach as a form of tourism centered on exchange between guests and hosts, built on Armenian hospitality rather than a standard hotel stay.

The guest house is in Vardenis, Gegharkunik region, about 104 km east of Yerevan in a straight line.
