WHY GEORGIA
Beautiful, welcoming, cheap and warm;
During the last 7 years, the local tourism sector has shown 20% annual growth. In 2017 over 7.5 mln tourists visited this country. More tourists start coming from Europe, Israel, and North America.
We enjoy the opportunity to start an international project while keeping in touch with the audience that already knows us. We love Georgia and we want to make a meaningful project in
this hospitable country.

Why Chapiteau
Chapiteau is like an enchanted hat from Georgian fairytales, a magic table cloth or a golden fish.
Imagine a whimsical circus coming here out of the blue, performing merry tricks. In the blink of an eye, voilà – old wooden Georgian houses, walkways, vegetable garden and a farm, pavilions and tents, camper vans, a restaurant, workshops, a narrow-gauge railway, a fairytale forest – appear in front of us, as if by magic.
We believe that falling back into childhood is wonderful – especially if you have ever fallen out of it

Anyone can stay at this wonderful place and watch a cucumber growing (and eat it later), make a mug out of clay, bake artisanal bread. Come here to try tasty local food, ride a horse to discover mountain lakes and experience limitless activities.

Co-living
Co-living concept suits the guests who plan to spend much time in the Kingdom and would like
to purchase 182 eternal days a year or more.
We will set a village with authentic Georgian houses that we will rebuild and refurbish on our big field. It will be a cozy living space in the midst of fruit trees. You can book a homestead of your choice, tailoring it to your needs and keeping your belongings there.
We do not sell private property, however you will become a shareholder, obtaining a stake in the whole project. Based on our agreement, the chosen homestead will be reserved under your name, meaning that you have the priority right to use it.
