Message from Graziano e Federica

The Tosh-Hovli Palace in Khiva, Uzbekistan is a stunning gem filled with intricate blue tiles, carved wooden pillars, and elaborate ghanch. Built by Allakuli Khan in the 19th century, this palace boasts over 150 rooms across nine courtyards, designed to catch the desert breeze. Visitors can explore two wings of the palace, including a harem wing with handicraft exhibitions and a south wing featuring a throne room, brick yurt bases, and a beautiful carriage from 1872. Just watch out for young couples sneaking kisses in the shadows!
