"Made up of 3 small buildings, created from blocks of local stone, Serinn House almost blends into the steep sandy cliffs that rise behind it in Urgup’s peaceful hilltop neighbourhood, Esbelli. Once a family home, it was beautifully restored in 2006, and set a new hotel trend in the region: the first European-style design hotel to be transferred to a cave in Cappadocia. It was a bold move, but it totally works.There are just 6 rooms set around a courtyard enclosed by a high wall, and the views of the town and surrounding mountains from the top terrace are stunning. Friendly owner Eren is always on hand, with her pet dogs in tow, to book the best local guides to help you explore the region, or suggest great restaurants. Ask her to show you the incredible before-and-after photographs of Serinn's restoration. Like most Cappadocian towns, Urgup tumbles down the walls of a valley, and many of its fine old carved-stone buildings now house shops, cafés and restaurants. Central to the action, it makes a great base to explore the region's extraordinary landscape of fairy rock chimneys and cave churches. Highs Stylish design touches give a modern take on cave dwelling: a turquoise Vitra chair in one room, sleek anglepoise lamps and a Moooi chandelier in anotherUrgup itself: a lively town in the heart of Cappadocia, with easy access to Rose Valley, Goreme Open Air Museum and the pretty village of UchisarDelicious breakfasts, served with the view: homemade fruit pies and traditional cheese borek, plus creamy yoghurt and local cherries and apricotsSerinn's diminutive size (just 6 rooms) adds to the relaxed, unpretentious feelComfy sofas in the courtyard and seating on the terrace are perfect for a post-sightseeing drink Lows The rooms don’t have TVs but you might consider this a bonus, and there's a shared lounge with a tellyNo restaurant. It’s an easy 10-minute walk downhill into town for eateries, but a longer walk back uphill" - Sarah Gilbert
"A very small, beautifully owner-managed hotel in Urgup’s prime Esbelli district. What also distinguishes the Serinn is the modern styling of the hotel – no old kilims and period artefacts here but sharp lines, bright pastel colours and the like of state-of-the-art reading lights – too often a failing of Cappadocian hotels. Here, there are good-sized rooms, pin-clean, great breakfasts and exceptional hospitality, even by Turkish standards. The spacious terrace is excellent for outdoor lounging. The location, the Esbelli district, is well-placed for downhill (10-minute) walks to central Urgup’s restaurants and other attractions. " - Jeremy Seal
