About booking local services
All FAQs →Yes. Our Gudauri Directory lists the restaurants, spas, ski rental shops, ski schools, paragliding operators and guides we use and recommend, each with its own phone, WhatsApp and website so you can book directly with them. Those directory businesses are independent of Altimera, and a booking with one of them is between you and that business. If you would rather we made an introduction, ask and we will pass your enquiry on. Altimera does not operate or arrange transport. Your apartment itself is a different matter: Altimera manages and lets all eleven apartments, so the stay is booked with us.
Directly with the business. Every listing in the Gudauri Directory carries the operator's own contact details, and the price, the terms and the booking are agreed between you and them. Altimera keeps the list current and can introduce you, but we are not an agent for any of these businesses and we do not operate or arrange transport.
