Karlik Evi Boutique Hotel, Nevsehir

Turkey

This charming, traditional boutique hotel is set in the heart of Cappadocia's most stunning area with craggy mountains and beautiful valleys, unique volcanic rock formations, and ancient man-made cave houses. Travellers may wish to visit Goreme National Park, various underground cities, and Uchisar castle, or take a hot air balloon ride or go horseback riding to marvel at the region's natural wonders, and later relax in the sun by the hotel's outdoor pool. Built from the same natural volcanic rock that can be found throughout the region, the hotel combines modern comforts with antique décor and classic Cappadocian style. The 28 comfortable rooms range from standard to studio and honeymoon suite, all with non-allergenic and orthopaedic bedding and central heating. An excellent choice for artists and art enthusiasts, many gather annually at the hotel to create wonderful works of art, and art classes are offered periodically.
