The complex is situated in the town of Dilijan, the northern part of Armenia (Tavoush region). Tavoush region is known for its picturesque landscape, mild climate and many historic sites.  Here you can enjoy activities such as shopping for crafts and souvenirs, taste traditional Armenian dishes, visit Tufenkian showroom, go for hike or just relax in our cozy guest house.

In late 19th, early 20th century, life in Dilijan went through many changes due to its scenic beauty and natural environment. Significant trade began with Baku, which at that time was the regional commercial center, as well as cultural exchange was established with Tblisi- cultural centre of the region; also, many rich families from these major cities started spending their vacations in Dilijan’s many summerhouses and guesthouses.


Two-storied tiled wooden homes with detailed carved balconies had become quite common as Dilijan’s typical architecture; some of which can still be seen on the historic Sharambeyan street, which has been restored by Tufenkian. Sharambeyan street has been preserved as an “Old Town Dilijan” complete with craftsmen’s workshops, small shops with traditional Armenian products and crafts, museum, showing a typical 19th century home with all its locally made furnishings, guest house and a Tufenkian Restaurant.
