Esbelli Evi, one of the first boutique hotels in Cappadocia, has changed and become a truly luxury hotel with the addition of the new suites. The Honeymoon suite is simply incredible and huge (over 100 sq meters). The cave walls are particularly beautiful because of the vibrant color in stripes and the fact that they have been left pretty much in a natural state. There are 4 interconnected cave rooms with a master bedroom featuring a luxurious King bed, a living room with a writing desk, easy chairs, wireless internet connection, LCD Satellite T.V with stereo DVD/CD player, a loft niche bedroom with another King bed and a very large bathroom with an old style cast iron claw-foot bathtub in the middle of a candlelit room, also separate twin showers behind a roomy glass window with comfy bathrobes.

Every detail has been though of for your comfort in these suites which feature air-conditioning, 500 channels of stereo music, kitchens and twin showers/bathtubs. Take a visit to the kitchen of this suite and you will find a charming dining area that opens to the outside garden. Shelves have been carved out of the stone and there is an ancient winery in the kitchen but appliances are modern with an antique reproduction refrigerator that is completely stocked with a variety of drinks costing not much more than what you pay at the local supermarket. You will also have a full-sized stove, kitchen sink, electric kettle with tea, coffee and more. You are not far from the center of Urgup and some nice dining establishments, but you can also enjoy a dinner in the hotel, or make something yourself.

The hotel owner, Suha has thought of nearly everything and here’s more information and what we saw on our recent inspection of Esbelli Evi Hotel. First of all, the hotel is composed of nine very old stone and cave houses around a courtyard and terraced area with seven deluxe rooms and four suites. The stone work is superb, and this hotel has some of the most beautiful natural colored stone that I have seen in the area and also some very old dark stone with Armenian inscriptions from the town of Kayseri. Esbelli Evi hotel offers a private refuge for its guests, both from the outside world and from each other. It seems you can get lost through the arched passageways and tunnels that lead to the different rooms in Esbelli Evi. Finally you find your way to the courtyard area where the owner has cleverly hidden a self-service laundromat with two washing machines in the stone, which are at your serve for a minor fee. Suha wants his hotel to be a place, not of seclusion, rather of interaction and he has therefore created a variety of areas where guests can congregate, relax and enjoy the authentic atmosphere of Cappadocia. You feel comfortable as you can use the facilities and bar of the shared kitchen near the breakfast room and TV and projection rooms. All prices of drinks and spirits are reasonable and clearly written. You can use the available desktop or laptop computers with high speed internet to get in touch with home or catch up on your work. You can borrow music CD’s from Esbelli’s extensive collection of Classical, Jazz and movie DVD’s.

The deluxe standard rooms also contain everything for your comfort and are tastefully decorated with comfortable King, queen or twin beds. Nice tiled bathrooms with toilet and shower, hair-dryer, wifi and direct dial telephone. Suites include a two-bedroom suite with a king bed in one room and a queen bed in the other which has arched rooms, the above mentioned Honeymoon Suite, a Family Suites that consists of two cave rooms, one with King bed and the other with 1 or 2 single beds. The Family suite has two bathrooms with toilet and shower, a kitchen and a separate courtyard. There is also the Garden Suite with King size bed, bathroom with twin shower and bathtub, kitchen and garden and this suite may be given to families with an additional suite room available across the courtyard. All rooms are unique and very comfortable.
