Aya Kapadokya

the place is wonderful, magical..... all taken care of in the smallest details. they are very kind and exquisite..... the food excellent..... absolutely to be recommended. if you go to cappadocia i highly recommend you stop here

Amazing b&b, elegant and extremely typical with 12 rooms very beautiful each different from the other. The B&b has been redesigned and built by the current owners starting from the ruins of the old house, and it clearly shows the love and passion of the owners. Breakfast is extremely rich with typical and had made products The hosts are super kindly and helpful

Hosts Emre and Begum are a delightful couple who are passionate about the history and architecture of their wonderfully restored hotel and work hard to make you feel relaxed and at home. They have managed to successfully retain the old rock hewn rooms while including simple home comforts (like underfloor heating and powerful showers). We stayed in a former stable, next door was the original chapel - still with it's domed ceiling above (what I assume) was the altar. Other rooms include the former wine cellar and take a peek into the "library" where you can peruse heavy, centuries old books that are a historian and book lovers dream. Breakfast is a culinary experience with varieties of deliciously fresh breads, cheeses, fruits, homemade preserves and honey as well as eggs made however you like them (Turkish eggs are particularly good!). Sipping wine or tea on the upper outdoor terrace watching the sun go down is a great way to put the world to rights with fellow guests (there are only 12 rooms) or listen to Emre recount the project to recover and renovate this treasure of a building. If you're looking for a relaxing ambience in an authentic rock cave dwelling with the highest level of guest attentiveness, look no further. Highly recommended.

I was fortunate to stay in this cave hotel recently with a small group. Loved the quirky room, beautiful gardens and outdoor seating areas. The breakfasts were the best I’d had in 2 weeks of travelling around Turkey and the owners delightful and approachable.

Sick of touristy hotels, crowds. Want to experience real Turkey; look no further than Aya Hotel. Managed by a young couple who are passionate about hosting you, passionate about the history of this restored village house and are committed to providing the best local cuisine; this place was a highlight of our 20 days in Turkey. Each room is different due to the original purpose of them in the house. Not a cave house but very ‘cave like’. Lovely shared roof top spaces with fabulous views of Cappadocia. The only thing to keep in mind is… if you have mobility issues you would need to state at the time of booking.

My Girlfriend and I took a quick trip to Kapadokya while visiting Turkey and we are so lucky that a friend recommended this place. Located up a local street with no other hotels in the immediate area, the property itself is stunning. It is an old house/chapel that was restored by the couple who owns it and they did a truly incredible job. We stayed in one of the lower rooms which was a cave room. Everything from the fixtures to the bedding, bathing products and water that was given to us daily were well thought out and perfect. The breakfast each morning consisted of fresh cheeses, breads, fruits, vegetables, and an array of jams that were made at the hotel. The view from the terrace where breakfast was served was like a movie set. On top of everything, the owners/hosts were great people. Their passion for what they do was evident and they even put together a two day hurry-up tour for us and hired a driver to take us around. We saw so much in two days and can’t wait to go back and stay for longer next time. When we do we will definitely stay here!

Nestled off the beaten path down a small alleyway in the town of Ürgüp this just might be the best kept secret in all of cappadoccia. Owned and operated by young couple Emre and Begume with the help of a small staff of three, and no I am not talking about the three 4 legged furry friends, this property exudes charm character and history. In a bid to leave the city life behind for an adventure of sorts this young couple first stumbled upon the property a few years back and have painstakingly brought it back to life one brick at a time with their own hard work, sweat and tears (Emre will enthusiastically tell you all about it!) As you first arrive on location you would be left wondering what lies beyond the unassuming rustic wooden gates that stand guard at the foot of the property, but no sooner you enter through them you will be left with no doubt that this is truly something special. Adding to the character and charm of the property are Emre and Begume themselves, as you get chatting with them you feel the enthusiasm and passion with which they have brought their dream to life, the two of them make you feel at home instantly with their beautiful personalities and exceptional hospitality. At Aya Kapadokya the accommodation is rich in history , the food is fresh and mouthwatering, the company is truly warm and welcoming and lastly this entire experience will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. While visiting Cappadocia alone is an experience in itself, staying at this property will make it just that little bit more special!

Abbiamo soggiornato recentemente in questo piccolo fantastico hotel sito ad Urgup cittadina strategica per un viaggio in Cappadocia. L’albergo e’ dotato di camere estremamente suggestive ed accoglienti scavate nella roccia arredate in maniera sobria ma con gran gusto. Le colazioni e le cene sono fantastiche,. preparate con prodotti naturali sulla base anche delle esigenze degli ospiti. Infine una parola sui proprietari persone squisite, gentili e disponibili, vero valore aggiunto dell’hotel

Un gioiello l’hotel con le stanze scavate nella roccia. Ma il vero valore aggiunto di questo luogo meraviglioso sono i giovani proprietari Emre e Bedrum, accoglienti, e disponibili. Da provare assolutamente la cucina, la migliore assaggiata durante il nostro viaggio. A cucinare è la mamma di Emre affiancata da un cuoco. Impossibile non apprezzare questo posto da favola gestito da persone speciali.
