When you visit a destination that is famous for its landscape, it is usually limited to a part of the city, or at most the city itself. But Cappadocia is made up of more than 10 cities!
Cappadocia, with its ‘fairy’ chimneys looks like you are on another planet and the best way to view them is from a hot-air balloon at sunrise.
This luxury hotel consists of a former cave monastery cut into the slope above a tangle of tunnels. It is a fascinating complex with terraces overlooking the fairy-like chimneys of the Pigeon Valley in Cappadocia.
The facility is located on a site where there was once a 1,500 year old monastery and a caravanserai on the Silk Road. Today's 51 rooms and suites are spread across seven restored villas and feel like private accommodations.
The terraced vegetable gardens conceal a tunnel network that once served as a refuge for early Christians. These underground chambers are now the hotel's wine cellars with more than 22,000 bottles. Tastings down here are highly recommended. An beyond peak of caves on the edge of the site offers the best views of the valley.
If you want to get away from the tourist hotel style and live a real and unique experience, this is the place for you! Well designed, very sophisticated feel but at the same time boutique and homely.
Aya Kapadokya is one of the finest existing examples of Anatolian Greek architecture in Cappadocia. Nestled behind the beautiful facade and amazing outdoor spaces, the twelve-room boutique hotel is also home to ancient cave dwellings, grand arched rooms, a chapel, two subterranean wineries, and much more. Every room, regardless of size or location, is installed with the same high-end furnishings and amenities.
Hotels built from thousand-year-old caves and dwellings are a dime a dozen in this region of historical and geological treasures, but the Museum Hotel stands out. Only here can you be spoiled by five-star luxury with the extraordinary views afforded by its location.
The Museum Hotel is a member of Turkey’s prestigious Relais & Châteaux association of luxury hotels and restaurants. It has received international accolades, including Best Small Hotel in Europe and Best Hotel Architecture in Europe by the International Hotel Awards.
