Nişanyan Evleri Hotel

A truly magical, fairytale-like hotel on the hill with breathtaking views. We were warmly welcomed with complimentary drinks on arrival, which set the tone for a wonderful stay. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and feature luxurious bathrooms and air conditioning. The villas also offer a shared kitchen area, which was a lovely touch. Breakfast was delicious, with an authentic Turkish spread. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, assisting us with our luggage up the hill. One small note: the streets in Şirince are very steep and narrow, so it’s best to park outside the town and explore on foot.

Our cottages were quaint, lovely, and comfortable, with an old-world feel to them. The food from the restaurant was some of the best we had during our entire trip to Turkey. The chocolate souffle was the best I've ever had in my life. The view over the valley was amazing. We ventured down the hill into the nearby town for an enjoyable outing. The hotel staff were extremely accommodating. One of our party members fell ill and they delivered his dinner meal directly to our cottage in a woven basket. When it was time to checkout, a staff member arrived earlier than usual to help us with our bags, and the restaurant provided us with packed breakfasts to go. The only issue I can mention is that between the hilly terrain, the cobblestone walkways, and the stairs throughout the facility, the hotel and its grounds were unfortunately not very handicap friendly.

Stop! Look no further. Book it now. Add at least one more day than you think you want. We had a magical 4 night stay in the Teracil (terrace) cottage. The breakfasts are spectacular including donuts delivered piping hot and ready for honey or a mixture of tahini and grape molasses that we learned about in Cappadocia. The morning we left I counted 20 separate items for breakfast!! Dinners added up but were also delicious. The last night we did a cooking class with two others, essentially making our own dinner. Fun.||In addition to the fabulous style, the cottage was homey and comfortable. We loved the views (everywhere) but were especially transported by the sounds from the surrounding hills: cowbells around 6 pm, donkeys braying (morning and evening), roosters (without clocks) and these sounds of life so different from our urban American lives really transported us (the barking dogs were more familiar and less appealing). ||Every staff member was warm and kind. We were especially lucky to stay when Mujde was on site—the charismatic and welcoming owner. ||In sum, expensive yes, and 1000% worth it.

If you're ever in Izmir, do consider booking this hotel. It was magical! The room was so cozy, service was excellent and the hotel food is better than other restaurants in the area. Breakfast was excellent, dinner was even more amazing! This is not an accessible hotel and it requires a bit of slope walking, so please consider that.

What a wonderful place! Calm, quiet setting. Beautiful accommodations set in idyllic surroundings. There was an honest and heartfelt interest in our well-being with staff who served with genuine delight and care. The welcome we received went beyond our expectations. Great value for the experience - priceless! The meals prepared by Ferda, the head chef, were exceptional. The restaurant is topnotch. Boriş, Ahmed were helpful and engaging. From the moment we arrived to our exit, it was evident that our comfort was of the utmost importance. Thank you for a great stay. 🙏 ❤️👍 ❤️ 🙏

In an increasingly homogenised world where hotels all seem to be ‘cookie cutter’ standardised, the Nisanyan stands out - the sort of place you always hope to find but rarely do. Perched on the edge of the bowl of hills surrounding Sirince with sweeping views across the valley, only the jingle of goat bells or the bray of a donkey seems to break the silence. Don’t expect ordinary hotel rooms - the accommodation is spread over the hillside amongst the trees and includes cottage rooms and stone houses as well as the timber panelled rooms in the main building. All well equipped with plenty of hot water, showers, wi-fi and furnished in traditional historical style. We slept very well every night. But it’s the food and the service that really sets the Nisanyan apart. Nur and all the team made us feel we had found ourselves in the middle of a large family - and we had become part of it. Arranging taxis, help with transport, chats about Turkey, cooking lesson ( 👍 Melissa) - everything was handled with no fuss, properly. And the food - all cooked from fresh produce ( much from their own plants and vegetables ) - really superlative, conjured up by the superb kitchen staff, imaginatively delicious. What a great place !

What an experience! We spent 2 nights here. Our van couldn't access the hill climb and the hotel provided pickup trucks to haul us and our luggage. The rooms were cabins, renovated. Rustic with a nice path walk to the restaurant and reception. We loved it!! Quiet, dark, and while it felt like we were camping, it was a very pleasing experience overall. We also took a cooking class. Breakfast was terrific. Would have spent a month here if possible!!

The best place we stayed on our one month trip in Türkiye! The staff were lovely, the breakfast was as nice and the views of Sirence were beautiful every morning. They upgraded our room for free, and the marble pool was so nice and cold and refreshing we couldn’t get enough of it. A must stay if you’re in the Sirence area! 10/10
