I’m not the type to leave reviews, but I felt compelled to after our unforgettable stay at Nişanyan Hotel.||My husband and I spent three weeks traveling through Turkey and Greece, staying in many luxury hotels along the way. Yet the most memorable and meaningful part of our trip was the two nights we spent here. Nişanyan Hotel isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a truly one-of-a-kind, magical experience.||When we first drove up through the charming town of Şirince and climbed the winding hill, we half-joked to ourselves, “Where on earth are we going?” But the moment we arrived at the top, it was as if we’d discovered a hidden village. Walking toward the main building felt like stepping straight into The Secret Garden. Every corner tells a story — full of history, nature, and beauty — yet everything is tastefully decorated and wonderfully cozy.||From the very beginning, the staff made us feel at home. We were greeted with big smiles by Ibo, who offered us a refreshing local juice, and then welcomed by Nur, the manager, whose warmth set the tone for our stay. To our delight, we were upgraded to The Mansion 1 — the honeymoon suite — and offered a glass of local wine on the balcony overlooking the valley. Their hospitality immediately melted away the stress of our day.||The room itself left us speechless: perched high above Şirince with sweeping views of the valley, a romantic glass-walled bathtub, and a candlelit atmosphere that felt straight out of Bridgerton. It was intimate, regal, and magical.||The food was another highlight. Breakfast in the garden was a feast of fresh, organic ingredients, lovingly prepared right beside the dining area. One morning I asked if they had sucuk (Turkish spicy sausage), and even though it wasn’t on the menu, they went out of their way to buy some just for us. That kind of personal touch is rare, and it made us feel incredibly special.||Dinner was equally unforgettable. The garden transforms into a romantic setting with incredible food and impeccable service. Our server, Tavit, was charming, spoke perfect English, and quickly felt like a friend. Later, we discovered he was the owner’s son — which explained the warm, family-like atmosphere that radiates throughout the hotel.||Exploring the grounds was a joy in itself. The property feels like a small village, with unique rooms scattered among gardens, a peaceful pool that felt more like a friend’s gathering than a hotel amenity, and secret paths (marked by red arrows) leading down to Şirince.||On our last morning, we needed an early ride to the airport. Müjde Tönbekici, one of the co-owners, personally helped arrange our taxi and welcomed us like family. Meeting her made it clear how much love and soul she has poured into this place.|I know this is a long review, but weeks later I’m still thinking about our time here. As a gay couple, we also want to highlight how safe, comfortable, and genuinely welcomed we felt — which meant the world to us.||What was supposed to be just a stopover became the highlight of our journey. Nişanyan Hotel is more than a hotel — it’s an experience full of soul, heart, and magic. We cannot wait to return and will recommend it to everyone we know.||✨ If you want to feel truly immersed in history, nature, and intimacy, this is the place for you. ✨
