Traditional Cavehouse in UNESCO Protected World Heritage Site.
The cave house has an elevated and stunning position high in the village of Uchisar (1300m) within the region of Cappadocia, central Turkey. The house has spectacularly romantic views both day and night across the Cappadocia valley and its historic troglodyte terrain. Uchisar overlooks the larger village of Goreme, sited on the 'Silk Road' trail, adding to the tourist facilities required. Living at a height of 1300m you will appreciate the coolness of the evenings during the summer months. From the rooms or the terrace you can watch the changing light every hour of the day until a magnificent sunset is painted across the sky, and then at night the site is illuminated creating a fairytale atmosphere. The area has UNESCO listed world patrimony for its natural and cultural value which attracts artists, historians, geologists, writers, photographers and environmentalists. The flora and fauna draws botanists and the terrain is a natural delight for those that love to walk.
