Shahin & Ali are amazing hosts!! They made us feel home as soon as we arrived and we loved each moment we had with them. Their kindness is simply unforgettable!! In addition, Shahin cooks the best dishes we had in Iran. If you go to Qazvin you should definitely take the opportunity to meet them.

Simply the best stay in Iran :) ! Ali and Shahin have been very kind for the 3 days we have been there: coming with us on a shopping tour, help to organize a tour in the Alamut Valley. Besides, Shahin is a great cook and we enjoyed many Iranian dishes. Evening discussions were also very nice!
