We found the owner to be very interested in providing us with a comfortable stay. The only problem was, at least in the case of fixing our problems with the wi-fi service, he failed. The breakfast was fine, and even though more or less a set meal, open to individual requests. Our room on the first floor was dark, and fairly basic. This hotel has many unique bria a brac items in the public areas, as well as art work by the owner's artist family members and friends.

We were on a 4 night trip to Yalikavak having visited the report for an hour the year earlier. We reserached long and hard to find a decent hotel that was good value, but also offered something extra. I am not sure how we found upon this hotel, but to be honest the visit was mixed.

Arrival was fine with the hotel employee (there were two a host and a cleaner) meeting us and showing us to our room. At £70 a night or so it was not cheap by Turkey standards so the room was not quite up to the standard I would expect. OK, but basic. No carpets on the floors, just a bed.........

The hotel was very quiet. Indeed items were being packed away as we were lounging by the pool. Not ideal, however the pool area was stunning! The pool was excellent and furnished with what seemed like antique items. Indeed, the whole hotel was full of lovely "oddments" that I understand had been acquired by the owner over the years. It was lovely.

Breakfast was excellent, although exacetly the same for each of the four nights. I would have appreciated some choice and options. Unfortunately, when we asked for lunch one day the owner responsed with hands in the air "Nothing". Hmmmm, although a beer was forthcoming when later in the evening a vodka was requested again we got a "sorry".

To sum up, hotel was lovely, but there was no-one there when we stayed (Mid September) and the hotel seemed to be shutting up around us!! I was disappointed no lunch or drinks were available, and we left happy of the calm pool area and location, but sad that the owner did not offer us more in terms of hospitality.

Happy to answer any questions.

We stayed in the hotel from August 3rd till August 7th.
Actually we liked it so much that although we booked for only 2 nights we extended out stay by 2 nights more.
The owner is a charming person and he did his best to make our stay enjoyable as well as recommended us on beautiful places to visit (bays, beaches, villages, restaurants etc)
The swimming pool in the hotel is heaven and the atmosphere is perfect.
We hope to go there again!

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Located about 10min walk from a fairly quiet town (compared to Bodrum) and beaches which is very laid back. The hotel itself has an absolutely amazing pool, most of the rooms are nice though we had to change rooms since the one they originally put us in was vey dark (first floor next to the pool) so try and request a room on the upper floor. Very quiet location but there is no way to get to town besides walking or taking a taxi. Although the hotel owner drove us half an hour to a great little beach and picked us up after. The is no internet access or TVs which just adds to the tranqulity. Not cheap but worth the money.
