Maria, Moscow “The hotel, or rather a separate building in a large complex of Livadia, we liked very much, although we ordered the most ordinary comfort room. Repairs, everything is fresh and new, the equipment worked well for us. Nice view from the balcony to the sea, but if there was a view of the courtyard, also good, because it is quiet.

What to see in Livadia
The history of the area has its roots in 3 thousand BC, and in the Middle Ages the main craft here was pottery. In the 19th century, the land was acquired by Count Potocki and gave the name Livadia from the Greek word “meadow”. Initially, there was a temple, vineyards and master houses. A park was set up, and it was very beautiful, with fountains, greenhouses and statues.
A little later, the estate passed into the hands of the Romanovs, when Emperor Alexander II brought his sick wife here. In the USSR, a wine state farm was formed, but during the Second World Peace almost all the buildings were destroyed by the Nazis.
In 1945, a historic meeting of the heads of the countries of the anti-fascist coalition was held here.
Livadia Palace and Italian Courtyard
Without a doubt, this is the most famous landmark of Livadia, the former residence of the Romanovs. The palace, which we see now, was built at the behest of Nicholas II, and in it in 1945 there was a meeting known throughout history – Yalta.
Architect Krasnov set himself the goal of hiring a comfortable palace, and he succeeded. The building fits perfectly into the landscape, a huge amount of Inkerman limestone was brought for the process. Inside there are about 60 rooms, each of which is distinguished by beauty and originality.
Around the palace building there is a garden with evergreen plants, it is decorated with an arcade with roses, and for its style it is called an Italian courtyard. European masters forged the gate and created a marble fountain.
When the emperor’s family visited Livadia, she was accompanied by a large retinue. To accommodate it next to the palace, the Page Building of exquisite architecture was built.
Holy Cross Church
It was built next to the Livadia Palace at the request of Empress Maria Alexandrovna. Its architect was Monighetti, and the prototype was the Church of St. Luke. The Byzantine style was chosen for the temple, which was going to be made a repository of valuables and relics of the royal family.
The church, at first glance, is very inconspicuous. This is a one-story building with a dome and arched windows, but its highlight is not in the external structure. The interior decoration was very rich in those days: a carved iconostasis of white marble, expensive carpets, artsy panic and lattices. The temple is truly historical, it served a memorial service for Alexander III and accepted Orthodoxy Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Nicholas II.
Now the church is active, services have resumed since 1991.
Wine Museum
The art of winemaking in Crimea is famous all over the world. The Wine Museum in Livadia houses a huge collection of bottles – more than 22,000 – wines of the best varieties. Many of them, according to tradition, are aged for centuries, the rest are young, rather rare varieties. Nicholas II and his family port wine “Livadia” was a favorite local drink, and therefore it occupies a special place in the collection.
On the tour you will learn interesting facts of their history of Crimean winemaking, as well as learn how to drink wine correctly, no matter how strange it may sound. Come to the tasting, and everything you like can be purchased.
Waterfall “Uchan-Su”
In the Yalta mountains, at an altitude of 400 m above sea level is a unique natural landmark, known throughout the world. This is a beautiful waterfall with a height of almost 100 m, which for its violent temper the locals nicknamed “flying water”. In winter, when frosts come, the water freezes and everything that happens turns into an icefall.
In spring and summer, the flow of water is so powerful that it is dangerous to come close to it, and it is better to do it along an organized path through the forest or admire it from the observation decks.
Monument to the Big Three
There is one modern monument in Livadia that reminds us of a landmark historical event in Livadia in 1945. It was in the local palace that the meeting of the heads of state of the anti-Hitler coalition took place. Sculptor Zurab Tseretelli presented the monument to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Yalta meeting of Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt.
At the heart of his plot – the moment of a photo shoot in an Italian courtyard in May 1945, the leaders of the three states solemnly finished the meeting.
House-Museum of Mikhail Pugovkin
Everyone’s favorite Soviet actor Mikhail Pugovkin moved to live in Yalta in 1991. He was very fond of the city, where many films were made with his participation and there were catch phrases and expressions that we will remember for a long time.
After the actor passed away, his widow opened a museum in honor of her husband. In it, we can see personal belongings, props from the filming and the actor’s awards.
Interestingly, already posthumously, his colleagues came up with and released a medal, which was awarded to the best comedic actors, and it is called “Button”, it can also be seen in the museum.
Livadia is a very cozy and warm village, and it’s not about its southern location, but about the atmosphere. Come to the hotel “Azor” with excellent service and fall in love with Livadia!
