Cave house with contemporary amenities
Review Submitted: August 20, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed at Ian's House in early July 2009, and were quite happy with our stay. The rooms were authentically restored and tastefully decorated, and the amenities were contemporary. From the top floor, day or night we had views over Göreme. At night, for several hours we heard the amplified music from the gazino's in the distance, occasionally interrupted by the call to prayer, which we thought were emblematic of the land. Parking was about 50 meters away, and the friendly outdoor market of local produce 200 meters downhill. We went several times to the Kelebek Cave Hotel restaurant and pool, which were practically part of the same cluster of buildings but still a walk of almost 200 meters through narrow hillside streets. Cave house dwellers should not complain about tiny bits of rock falling from the ceiling, but we thought the only picnic table on the upper terrace that was sweating super-sticky tree resin (thus, essentially unusable) was perhaps a bit too rustic.
Owner's Response: We have taken the information about the table onboard and have passed it on to our local representative to look at a fix.
Having returned from a trip in Sep 09 and talking to other renters we are confused about the Gazinos and actually believe this music was from a local wedding, A traditional 3 day event which looks to have conicided with this booking.
Also for any one who is thinking Turkey shuts down for Ramadan / Ramazan, We found all local amminities to be open as usual
