The LEKTICA Verdict

The estate's small scale makes it feel like staying at a private home rather than a hotel.

Who it suits
HistoryNature
Not for you if
You want a full spa and pool — this place only has a traditional bathhouse
A large restaurant menu matters to you — the kitchen is small and seasonal
You need facilities for kids — this estate is built for quiet adult time

Year-round

This is the smallest estate in the collection — just six rooms, each with its own garden access.

The forest edge begins right behind the property's fence — morning walks start at the doorstep.

A day here

Morning
Coffee on the veranda under the pines, then a walk along the forest edge — the trail starts right at the porch.
Day
The bathhouse with a cold pond, usually heated on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Or just a book in the garden.
Evening
Dinner from whatever was brought that morning from the farmers' market in Kolchugino — the menu changes daily.
Night
The silence is thick enough to hear pinecones fall. Lights go out early — this place loves the dark.

Food

The kitchen here is small and unpretentious — because the goal is different: to show what grows nearby. Chef Dmitry Volkov buys from three farmers within 20km and changes the menu every day.

Breakfast is always included. Dinner needs to be booked by noon the same day — they cook for exactly the number of confirmed guests, no extra.

People behind the place

Maria Lebedeva
Estate owner

«We weren't trying to build a hotel. We just opened the door to the house we live in ourselves every summer.»

Dmitry Volkov
Chef

«The menu isn't decided by me — it's decided by what arrived that morning.»

What to know before you go
The last 3km are an unpaved road — a 4x4 helps in rain
Mobile signal is weak; Wi-Fi only in the common area
Dinner needs to be booked in advance — the kitchen cooks for a fixed number of guests

Провели здесь три незабываемых дня. Усадьба встречает по-настоящему тёплой атмосферой — от завтрака с домашней выпечкой до вечернего чая на веранде с видом на Суздаль. Номер был безупречно чистым, с продуманными деталями: мягкие халаты, гидромассажная ванна, тишина за окном. Персонал отзывчивый и ненавязчивый — помогли организовать прогулку с историком по усадьбе, это стало отдельным приятным впечатлением. Кухня заслуживает особого упоминания: авторские блюда из локальных продуктов, подача на высшем уровне. Расположение идеальное — рядом с Суздалем, но при этом полное ощущение уединения. Обязательно вернёмся сюда снова!
