Sometimes we make so many plans before a trip that the trip itself turns into a to-do list. Where to go, what to see, how to fit everything into two days?

But a November break in Dilijan can take a different course: waking up without an alarm, a long breakfast, a swim in warm water and gathering around the fireplace in the evening.

At Black Inn Dilijan you can give a few days to exactly that kind of rest, with family or friends, in one house and at your own pace.

A Morning That Doesn’t Start in a Rush

Imagine: the first sound of the morning is the coffee machine in the kitchen. Someone is already up, the others join the table one by one, and outside the window it is late autumn in Dilijan.

Today breakfast can go on for a while. There is no need to get dressed quickly or set off to reach the next place. You can have a second cup of coffee and finally hear the end of the story that was cut short yesterday.

At Black Inn there is a coffee machine, three types of coffee and herbal tea. All you need to bring is your favourite breakfast food — and decide who is cooking today.

November Outside, a Heated Pool Inside

Cool weather is no reason to leave your swimsuit at home.

At Black Inn, we keep the water in the indoor heated pool at around 28–30°C. Through the panoramic windows the view outside stays part of your stay while you enjoy the warm water.

You can set aside time for the pool during the day without filling the rest of it with must-dos. Then rest, talk or have a cup of tea.

Use of the pool is included in the house rental price. We also provide towels and bathrobes.

A Banya on the Grounds

You can also make the Russian banya part of your November break; its use is included in the price too.

There is no need to look for a separate place or drive anywhere. Everything is right here, and you can plan the day around your group’s preferences.

Some may want the banya while others stay in the shared space or get on with dinner. Everyone can rest in their own way and then come back together.

The Pleasure of Cooking Dinner Together

When you are not in a hurry, even cooking dinner can become a lovely part of your time together.

One person prepares the vegetables, another lays the table, a third takes care of the main dish. Favourite music, conversation and the familiar question: “So who’s tasting for salt?”

Black Inn’s kitchen has everything you need for cooking and serving, along with carefully chosen tableware. There is also a mangal (barbecue), skewers and an Uzbek kazan.

We provide salt, pepper, cooking oil and sugar. And after dinner the dishwasher helps you finish up faster and get back to the evening.

If you would like help with serving, you can discuss our additional service in advance; its scope and price are agreed separately.

Evenings by the Fireplace

Early darkness in November also means a long evening.

You can open a board game, choose a family film or simply sit by the fireplace. This is often when the longest conversations begin — from school memories to plans for your next trip together.

We provide the firewood. The house also has a heating system, so staying cosy in cool weather does not depend on the fireplace alone.

And if you like to keep days like these in photos, our autumn decorations will become part of your memories too. Every year we decorate the house, paying attention to the small details that make it warmer and more beautiful.

Your Group in One House

A break like this is especially lovely when your favourite people are close by and no one has to say goodbye at the end of the evening.

Black Inn Dilijan is rented as an entire house, exclusively for your group, and accommodates up to 15 overnight guests. We have 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.

You can come as several families or a group of friends. When booking, we will help you plan the room arrangements to suit your group.

A Whole Day Without Packing Up

If you want a whole free day after a slow morning, consider staying two nights.

On the first day you arrive and settle in; the second is entirely yours. That way the pool, dinner and the evening by the fireplace do not have to be squeezed into a few hours.

When you book more than one night, a discount also applies at Black Inn. Please check its size and the final price for your chosen dates with us.

November, Made for Time Together

You do not need a big occasion to come to Dilijan. Sometimes it is enough to pick a weekend, gather your people and free up a little time for each other.

You might not visit many places on those days. Instead you will have long breakfasts, cook together, swim and talk for as long as you have not managed to in ages.
