About Family Hotel Ars

Abastumani est statio balneologica in Georgia. Antiquitus arx historica ibi stetit. Praeter ruinas castellorum veterum, pauca ad quae adhaerere possis supersunt. Attamen exstant reliquiae plurium locorum historicorum e saeculo undevicesimo, inter quas locus aedificii antiqui, cuius architectura forma simplicis aedificii unius contignationis expressa est. Propter significationem historicam aedificii, constitutum est quasdam ruinarum partes tempore restitutionis servare, tactum modernum addendo cum materiis delicatis vitroque picto.

Production Technology: In addition, due to the limited allowance to the building and the scarcity of land, there is a plan proposed by our client for a small family-owned hotel with a common dining area and several terraces.
