Our 120-year old house which belonged to our grandparents is our colorful happy place. This house is alive with all the colors and the paintings on the walls. My mother and I decided to share this beautiful house with those who love to experience local lifestyle with original traces from the past.
Our favorite time is when we sit in the yard with our guests and talk about our cities, traditions and culture and the local food. My mother loves to make traditional Shirazi food which we always share with our guests.

About the Area

Our house is located in the heart of the historical neighborhood of Shiraz. It's 100 steps from the main and famous street of Lotfali Khan. It is next to Narenjestan Ghavam and Zinat-ol Molouk Ghavami House which is a museum now and a national landmark. It is a 10-minute walk from Nasir-ol Molk Mosque. Vakil Bazar, Karim Khan Castle, Vakil Mosque, and Bath, are also in a walking distance.
The international airport is 20 minutes ride away and the railway station 60 minutes ride away from the house because it is located a bit far from the city.

    Nette Unterkunft in guter Lage, bei der das Frühstück in einem hinreißenden Innenhof serviert wird. Unser Zimmer war recht klein und vom Nachbarzimmer nur durch eine Holzwand getrennt. Hamed ist ein sehr freundlicher und eher zurückhaltender Gastgeber. Insgesamt haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

    Hamed's house is beautiful, 5 minutes by feet from the pink mosquee, in the old city of Shiraz. The stay was very nice ! Hamed and his mother was available and give us some advice, the breakfast was great, I highly recommand this home !

    Uno de los mejores sitios en los que me he alojado en Irán. Es un lugar sencillo pero con encanto y todas las comodidades (en nuestro caso, baño privado). Muy limpio, muy bien ubicado, de precio económico, desayuno correcto y una ubicación fantástica para moverse por Shiraz. Además Hamed y su madre fueron muy amables en todo momento con nosotras. 100x100 recomendable!

    Great hosts! A very beautiful and traditional place! The room traveled us to the past! The courtyard was amazing even now (December)! Mina was more than helpful! She helped us a lot and we really thank her for that. We definitely recommend it!

    Très bel endroit, notre chambre spacieuse et joliment décorée donnait sur un délicieux jardin.
    La salle de bain très petite était très fonctionnelle.
    Nous avons dîner un soir dans le jardin. Très bon dîner.
    Cette maison est très proche de la mosquée rose.
