Private Sectors in Crimea: Where Can I Stay?
Visiting resorts, including the Black Sea ones, seems to many people a very expensive affair. However, you can save money if you do not limit yourself to “big” hotels when choosing accommodation, but take into account private accommodation. It is important to take this factor into account when planning a trip to Crimea.
Inexpensive options
For several decades, the Crimean coast has attracted hundreds of thousands and even millions of people.
Renting real estate (houses or apartments) from individuals allows you to spend the same vacation more budgetary than checking into official hotels.
An added benefit is getting rid of intrusive rules and regulations. The cost greatly depends on where the tourists are going to rest.
In Sevastopol, the low-cost segment of the private sector is represented by the guest house "Green yard".
You can settle there for 600-900 rubles a day.
If you rent a one-room apartment, you will have to pay 3500-5500 rubles per week. The exact rate depends on how far the property is from the sea coast. Cottages are rented for about the same amount.
In Evpatoria, houses rented out for at least 600 rubles per day are considered inexpensive housing at the peak of the season.
Within 1600 rubles, you can even rent a manor house, equipped and finished to the highest standard. And the most financially pleasant proposals are summer cottages and apartments in the city. If you bypass the intermediaries, then it will not be difficult to choose a room for 500-700 rubles per day.
Lovers of budget leisure should also take a closer look to the village of Chernomorskoewhere there are a number of attractive options.
Private mini-hotels of the Black Sea are rented for 400-500 rubles. A similar price is set for the rent of modest bungalows by the sea.
But don't think that there is no cheap housing on the tourist-packed southern coast of the peninsula. True, the cheapness here is manifested only by local standards. So, in Yalta, at the height of the season, you can find rooms in guest houses no cheaper than 800 rubles. If travelers want to enjoy the minimum comforts, they will have to pay at least 1,200 rubles.
In terms of value for money, it turns out to be a very attractive choice rent of one-room apartments. At a short distance from the sea, tourists will be accepted there for 1000 rubles a day.
A similar situation is developing in Alushta. Local mini-hotels will accept guests for at least 1,500 rubles, and living in apartments will save 10 or 15%.
Foros has a more democratic approach to pricing. The variety of real estate here is not as great as in other resorts. However, it is much better suited for families and large groups of tourists. Renting a large comfortable dwelling with a significant personal plot for 6 or 8 people will cost 4000 rubles.
If you stay in a private two-room apartment, you can reduce costs to 400-700 rubles.
It will be possible to reduce costs by choosing inexpensive housing in:
- Simeize;
- Alupka;
- Kurpatakh;
- Cliff;
- Danilovka;
- Gaspre;
- Katsiveli;
- Fishing and other points.
Even in demand and overloaded Partenite there is an opportunity to find an affordable property.
If the four of us stay in a manor house with a garden, they will have to pay 4-6 thousand rubles together. In the east of the peninsula, decent options for resort housing are rented for 700-1000 rubles per day. And cheaper objects will be available at all for 400 or 500 rubles. Apartments of similar area will be 10-15% more expensive.
Feodosia and Kerch private housing, dachas cost an average of 350-450 rubles.
For those who agree to Spartan conditions, you can completely reduce costs to 250-300 rubles per day. The cheapest places in the eastern part of Crimea are:
- Koktebel;
- Yurkino;
- Kamenskoe;
- Novootradnoe;
- Ordzhonikidze and other relatively small points.
As in other countries, in other regions of our country, it is very important for reasons of economy to book suitable seats well in advance.
Aggregators are of great help in choosing the right offers.
It is undesirable to settle for the first seemingly suitable option.
Further search will definitely lead to even better solutions. It is highly recommended to clearly record all services and other nuances during negotiations.
Where to stay with children?
When choosing housing where you can relax in the Crimea inexpensively, it is recommended to pay attention, first of all, to objects with a swimming pool. A good example of such real estate is mini-hotel "Ksenia" in Alushta. It was deliberately designed in a Mediterranean style.
A wide courtyard has been prepared, which has been properly landscaped. The hotel area contains swimming pools for adults and children.
The distance to the sea is not great. You can overcome it in 10 minutes. There are no slopes or ascents along the way. Each room is equipped with sanitary facilities and balconies, hair dryers and safes. But this did not prevent the administration from setting quite sparing prices.
The room fund is divided into 4 classes:
- economy;
- standard;
- junior suite;
- suite.
You can call in here for at least 5 days.
Alushta hotel "Caprice" on the whole it turns out to be no worse. It is located in one of the most beautiful areas of the city and directly faces the sea.
The road from the villa to the embankment and the beach will be no more than two to three minutes. Guests have a choice between city and sanatorium beaches.
The territory is thoroughly landscaped with a swimming pool.
An exceptional rarity in comparison with other hotels is the presence of kitchens in the rooms.
Another unusual feature is the performance of the numbers, heterogeneous in style. It is worth asking about the specific appearance of the apartments in advance, even at the stage of booking.Children under 6 years old without extra beds will be accommodated free of charge.
It is not necessary to rent large cottages for family vacations.
A simple furnished house in Gurzuf can also be a good substitute for them. It has a dedicated small courtyard where no one will interfere with enjoying the fresh air. The attic in this establishment is actually a completely separate room. Distance to the seaside is 600 meters. Internet access is available free of charge.
The air-conditioned rooms of the house have been recently renovated. The owners guarantee that guests will be able to use hot water around the clock. Renting a house will completely cost 6500 rubles. If you check in only in the attic, the fee will be reduced to 2,000 rubles per day.
But you can choose an alternative option - "Cottages in Malorechenskoye"; such an institution has almost no analogues on the peninsula.
The cottages even received code names - "South" and "North", both of them are located at the entrance to the village. The cottages have a common courtyard, but they also have their own green area. An orchard is located near the "Northern" house. Gazebos are installed, barbecue areas are equipped. The buildings are designed for a comfortable life for 4-6 people. For this they were equipped with:
- TVs;
- washing machines;
- air conditioning systems;
- sanitary facilities.
The 3-room "North" cottage has a pair of isolated bedrooms. The terrace overlooks the surrounding garden. From the terrace of the two-storey 4-room "South" cottage you can admire the sea.
However, the descent to it is very steep. The beach near the hotel is wild, because the water is completely clear, but at the entrance to the sea, one should beware of stones.
Overview of guest houses by the sea

How to choose?
Summing up the review of the main proposals, it can be noted that the choice of establishments in the private sector of Crimea is very large. Therefore, the correct selection of specific proposals plays an important role. The cheapest option is traditionally considered to be renting apartments in multi-storey housing.
This type of property is suitable for those who would like to live without children. As a last resort, you can choose it for families with one child, but this is already less convenient.
You can additionally save money by choosing offers further from the sea, or not limiting your choice to the lower floors.
But giving hotels and guest houses an equally unambiguous description will not work. There are options of a very different category, and the service can vary greatly.
In this segment there are all-inclusive deluxe rooms and ordinary rooms, where there are not even full-fledged amenities. It is necessary to search for the cheapest uncomfortable premises in the private sector.
An intermediate position is occupied by tourist bases.
They are more comfortable than in the "simplest" private houses, but at the same time the arrangement is not as great as in hotels. Most of the camp sites are located in the mountains. To get to the sea, you have to constantly travel by car.
With regard to real estate directly on the seashore, the best option is considered to be boathouses.
Right from the windows of any boathouse, you can enjoy the view of the coast, mountains and sea surface.
Widespread in Crimea received and campgrounds.
Tent camps on the peninsula are well equipped, in most of them you can count on 3 meals a day.
But it must be borne in mind that showers and toilets are located on the street.
Any of these housing options are rented for different times, and the longer the check-in period, the less you will have to pay for each day.
Important: you need to immediately decide whether vacationers will look for housing on their own, or they will prefer to save time by using the services of intermediaries.
If you decide to do everything on your own, you will have to highlight one or more of the most attractive sites. Attempts to find "the most suitable housing on the entire Internet" only lead to a dissipation of energy and do not allow for success.
At the second stage, the required type of housing and the desired distance to the sea are determined. Then you need:
- find out what level of comfort is needed;
- establish contact directly with the owners;
- clearly discuss all rental conditions and particular nuances.
