“Sacred House is divine”

Sacred House

Jul 21, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

This place was fantastic. If only there were more places like it. There was careful attention to every detail of the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable with local and interesting furnishings. It was cave style in tune with Cappadoica but luxurous at the same time. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They served a full breakfast outside that was delightful. The sitting rooms were very pleasant and best of all the roof garden overlooking the hills was glorious. They do not usually serve dinner but the restaurant they rcommended a short walk into town was reasonable and very good. We had a suite but I am sure all the rooms are great. Don't miss this lovely hotel!

“A Magical Place!”

Sacred House

Jun 20, 2007

My wife and I recently stayed three nights at the Sacred House, it was amazing.
We travel frequently and we've never stayed in a hotel with such a peaceful vibe.
The rooms couldn't be more romantic and surprisingly comfortable (being that you're in a cave). The private jacuzzi tub is heaven after a hard day of touring. No detail was ignored and everything is first rate.
The courtyard garden is stunning and upon entering immediately washes you of every care in the world.
No detail was ignored and everything is first rate.
Turren, who owns the place, and the staff are the best. They can arrange anything from a hot-air ballon ride to finding you the perfect bottle of local wine.
It's truly one of those places you'll never forget.
If you like all inclusive resorts, forget the Sacred House. This is a serene little piece of heaven designed for the more discerning traveler.

“Better than a Cave!”

Sacred House

5 of 5 stars
New York, NY
Jun 4, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We ended up at the Sacred House because of a confusıon ın our bookıng wıth one of Urgup´s cave hotels. Fortunately for us, the other hotel very kındly found us a room at the Sacred House -- ıt ıs beautıful, the servıce ıs terrıfıc, and the food ıs great.

The hotel ıs ın a 250-year old Greek house, buılt around a central court, and ıs absolutely lovely. Each room ıs unıque -- ours was the Room of Antıque Tıles, a bıg comfortable bedroom wıth a marvellous bıg bath. The appoıntments are luxurıous: delıcıous sheets, plumbıng fıxtures our NY desıgner would love, a jacuzzı, and so on and so. The decor ıs mostly antıque. very thoughtfully and amusıngly done (there´s an up to the mınute mını-frıg behınd that antıque carved cabınet door!). And everythıng worked lıke a charm.

The servıce, as other revıewers noted, ıs very thoughtful and very unobtrusıve. Ms Emel and Turan Bey were most welcomıng to two frazzeled Amerıcan senıor cıtızens, and the rest of the hotel staff was frıendly and deft.

Fınally, the food was some of the best we have had ın Turkey -- whıch ıs, of course, hıgh praıse ındeed. One places one`s dınner order ın advance, ıf one chooses to eat at the hotel. We trıed all three meat dıshes on the menu, plus a fourth that Ms Emel was kınd enough to prepare ın lıeu of the vegetarıan dısh. My favorıte was the Armenıan lamb; I wıll try to recreate at home, but doubt I wıll suceed. The breakfasts were large and delıcıous.

After a three day stay, we were so grateful to the accıdent that sent us to Sacred House, ınstead of a cave hotel!

“Best place to stay in Capadoccia”

Sacred House

5 of 5 stars
Washington, DC
May 30, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

If you have the chance to get to Capadoccia, there’s no better place to stay than the Sacred House. The location, staff and rooms are the best. We saw other hotels that were further out from the towns, but the Sacred House is a two minute walk to Urgup (be sure to have at least one dinner on the rooftop deck at Somine and don’t miss the long balloon ride with Kapadokya Balloons), one of the most charming towns we’ve ever visited. The hotel is on a quiet street and when you walk through the door, you’re in an oasis of calm and warmth. The attention to detail is fantastic from the daily complimentary snacks to the books left lying around to read.

As others have said, the breakfast is big and tasty — which actually you might need before a long day of touring. A note about that — a private guide is worth the investment. We booked through Argeus (www.argeus.com.tr/). They were reliable, friendly and informative. Our guide was amazing — his knowledge of the region was fantastic and it was a real pleasure to spend that kind of time, one on one, with a local.

It was wonderful too to meet other travelers — there are several places at the hotel to sit and chat and enjoy the views. It felt like we had walked into “A Room with a View” with the conviviality, food and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. All rooms are unique, charming and cozy--you can see the pix on their website. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer.

“Very Romantic”

Sacred House

May 14, 2007

We were really impressed with Sacred House. Their service is outstanding the the rooms are the most romantic that we have ever seen. If you can go in april or earlier you can use their fireplaces, which is a real treat. Their breakfasts were also the best we had on our entire trip to turkey.
