About this hotel
This farmstead-style property is about as far from a typical airport hotel as this list gets, sitting among forest and green space rather than city blocks, with free breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking all included. The restaurant on site serves genuine home-style cooking rather than a standard hotel menu, worth the trip on its own for a traveller who wants something different from the usual chain feel. At 53 minutes from Pulkovo, this is the furthest property from the airport on this entire list, a serious trade-off that only makes sense for a longer, more settled stay rather than a quick overnight before an early flight the next day, a detail worth weighing before booking a longer stay here.

Our take
I would recommend the Ruthenia farmstead for a real rural retreat, as long as the longest drive to Pulkovo on this list does not bother you; book more than one night to make the transfer worthwhile. It is tagged as pet-friendly, which helps if you travel with an animal. For an early flight with little margin, a much closer property on this list is the safer choice.
- Book at least two nights to make the long 53-minute drive to Pulkovo worthwhile against the quiet, rural setting.
- Eat at the on-site restaurant rather than venturing out, given how far this sits from other dining options nearby.
- Plan the taxi to Pulkovo with serious buffer time, since this is the furthest property from the airport on the whole list.
Why we love it
- A genuine farmstead setting, rare on this list

Why guests love itRutenia Farmstead is a farmstead-style property in the forested northeastern corner of the district, known for home-style cooking and a restaurant on site. Breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking are free, and pets are welcome. Mel'nichnyy Ruchey is an 8-minute taxi ride, but Pulkovo is 53 minutes away. With 9.2 from 658 reviews, I read it as a rural retreat. I would book it for more than one night, not for an early flight.
