My wife and I had the pleasure of staying here for 2 nights, and it couldn't have been better. Beautiful location, friendly service, and incredible rooms. Honestly for the price, you'd be hard-pressed to find better value anywhere in the world for a unique luxury experience.
We were here in low season, just after the first snow, which made for gorgeous scenery. The temps were COLD, below freezing even in daytime. But the room (106) was amazingly comfortable, perfect temperature the whole time, with a heater so quiet we couldn't even hear it. It even had a heated bathroom floor! The room was plenty spacious, the bed was comfortable, and it just felt like every aspect was well-designed.
The restaurant was excellent as well, both for breakfast and dinner. Their Turkish breakfast for two (included in our rate) was huge, and a unique experience in itself. We also booked a sightseeing tour through the hotel concierge, which was amazing. So much cool history in the area, and our guide was great.
The hotel is about a 5-10 minute walk (uphill) to Ortahisar Castle and the center of town. The whole town was very quiet at the time we were there (November), but most restaurants and shops were still open. For someone looking for a quiet getaway, I highly recommend this time of year for this region! And I'll highly recommend Tafoni Houses for anyone looking for a unique experience in a beautiful area.
