The Vibe: Cavetastic.

The Area: In one of the most scenic villages of Cappadocia. Göreme and Nevşehir are both 6km.

The DNA: Utterly charming and unique, Taşkonaklar (Rocky Palace) is made of five historic mansions and ancient cave suites in the village of Uçhisar in the Unesco listed region of Cappadocia, Turkey. The boutique hotel was built in respect with nature, history and local traditions. Take in the silence and amazing views from your terrace with a glass of local wine or freshly prepared tea. Go trekking in the Pigeon Valley, horseback riding in the neighbouring village, hot air ballooning or take a short excursion to the famous “Fairy Chimneys”. At night the sky is heavy with stars. A home-made delicious breakfast is served in the mornings. Afternoon tea at 5 o’clock. Dinner at request.

Suite-Me-Up: Accommodations combine subterranean spaces, rough-hewn walls, stone archways with fresh air in the form of terraces and balconies, with panoramic views of the unique landscape. Warm and inviting, all are individually decorated with features such as stone fireplaces, antique furniture and hand-made carpets. All have up-to-date facilities such as flat-screen TVs, free wireless internet, minibars, and spacious bathrooms.
