Guesthouse Polia

When you stay at Guesthouse Polia, you're never far from the mountain waters that have made Theth famous. In summer, you can follow trails that wind through lush valleys to the spectacular Grunas waterfall, where the ice-cold, clear water plunges into a deep gorge. Throughout the area you will find small, natural pools and mountain streams where you can take a refreshing dip surrounded by tranquility and the sounds of the forest. The water is crystal clear and comes straight from the mountains, and many guests describe it as an unforgettable and almost meditative experience.

Guesthouse Polia combines simple tradition with modern comfort, and the guesthouse's warm atmosphere is immediately noticeable when you enter. The rustic rooms are decorated in a style that honours local building traditions without compromising on comfort. You'll find both single rooms and larger family rooms with mountain views, so you'll wake up to the silence of nature and the smell of fresh air. The restaurant serves traditional dishes made daily from local produce, from homemade cheeses and vegetables from the garden to savoury meat dishes and freshly baked bread. The staff is local and welcomes you with genuine hospitality, quickly making you feel part of the family.
