The dachas of I. V. Stalin are my separate love. The Cold River cottage is one of the most beautiful that we managed to visit. A place with a mysterious atmosphere that evokes a sense of awe. There are many interesting interior details and architectural solutions that meet the requirements of that time and the personality of the owner of the cottage. The glass on the windows is made of rock crystal, which served as a natural air conditioner, mirrors in which you can see the whole room from a certain angle, low lampposts on the territory.
The tour is very interesting, the guide is a professional in his field and told the story of the cottage very enthusiastically, with riddles and humor.
Very picturesque views all around!
Briefly about the main thing:
"A very atmospheric, mysterious place, surrounded by centuries-old pines and cypresses.
With a magnificent view of the sea, from which this cottage is not visible (as it was intended).
There are many interesting interior details inside that characterize the personality of the owner
["... low lampposts, armored glass, mirrors, looking at which from a certain angle you can see the whole room, a grand piano, furniture with special stuffing"]".
The main thing is short for those born in the USSR and living in the Russian Federation:
"I would like to mention the guide, who tells a very fascinating story, just a complete immersion in the past.
The price is low."
Still, yes - it's nice to immerse yourself in the past and you want a lot [as an option, "... you could make a wax figure of Joseph Vissarionovich, it would be just super"] for 10-12 years (13 too much ...).
Afterword for prominent political figures:
"Everything is modest, ascetic, but tasteful" (Oleg Malyutin is a connoisseur of the city of the 16th level on November 26, 2023).
The historical monument is in pretty good preservation of both the exterior and interior. Most of the furniture, fittings and plumbing of the era of construction. It is located on a mountain, offering stunning views of the surrounding area, including the sea. Stylistically, it is very similar to the Cottage in New Athos. There is no point in listening to the guide, a simplified retelling of long-exposed fairy tales. Tickets for September 2024 350 rubles.
