Guest house “Quiet Dacha” in the village of Solnechnogorsk offers a calm and leisurely holiday without overpayments for services that are not needed. There will be no bustle of crowded hotels, high prices in the spa and crowded beaches. This mini-hotel can offer small cozy rooms coupled with a large swimming pool and a luxurious garden. Another advantage of these places is clean water in the sea and a good beach. Add to this budget meals, Crimean wines and seasonal fruits. Of the cons: the village service does not meet the expectations of many tourists who are accustomed to fawning and helpfulness of the staff of five-star hotels. From the locals this can not wait. It is good to come here by car, then you can save on excursions and travel around all the local attractions. But most of the tourists come from Alushta on a minibus, which famously winds along the mountain roads, controlled by a clever dzhigit from the locals. The distance from the city to the village is 25 km.
Maxim Shcherbina writes a review: “Rested in August [y]. We loved it. Of the pros: the guest house is located close to the sea. There are many places around where you can eat deliciously. The sea is clean and without algae, the descent is gentle. Around the beautiful landscape – mountains, vegetation, coast. Of the cons: 700 meters to the sea have to go on the road without sidewalks, maneuvering between cars and bicycles. The Internet almost does not take: “youtube” is not loaded. There are also quite high prices for excursions.”

Olga1983 writes a review: “we went with my husband to the guest house “Quiet Dacha” and immediately decided that we would treat everything easier and more leniently. It helped, in the end we really liked it. Settled quickly, the room without luxury, but everything you need is there: new plumbing, TV, refrigerator and air conditioning. Clean bed! The road to the sea in witches, in the morning jeeps drive to the waterfall – dangerous! There is almost nothing in the village, except for numerous cafes, a post office and a first-aid post with a pharmacy. The nearest ATM is located in Alushta. Cards are accepted for payment in large establishments, and in stalls only cash. The children’s playground is one and is located at the end of the village. But the pool and the views of the hotel are very decent. Sunbathed on sunbeds by the pool, ordered cocktails from the administrator – I liked it. Rested well, spending 45000r for a week (2019)”.
