As an hotelier I am not always the easiest guest to please. But Esbelli Evi not only pleased me, it was one of the most pleasant hotel stays I can recall... Not because it is luxurious, or because of innumerable gimmicks, bells and whistles (spas, saunas, fine restaurants, etc...) There are none of these. There is a landscape and a view to take one's breath away. There is an attentiveness to the guest that is the greatest luxury of all : a true welcome. It is hard to explain what it is, but whatever it is is it is there and it is bliss. Since coming away, I can only think of when I shall be able to return.

Aside from my stay at Esbelli Evi being pure bliss, the staff was incredibly responsive and helpful. On my last day, Agra Tours in Cappadocia was suppose to make arrangements for the next leg of my trip. After numerous conversations, I thought everything was confirmed. Next thing I knew, they not only failed to pick me up as promised but when I called them, they informed me that my bus tickets weren't even purchased. I was incredibly upset as I had to be at my destination by a certain time. Seeing my distress, Suha, the owner/manager at Esbelli Evi, drove me to the bus station and convinced the bus company to give me a seat on the sold out bus ride. Before finding out if that was feasible, he also offered to drive me to a town a half hour away to catch a departing bus from there. He was incredibly sympathetic and I can't thank him enough for helping me out. That being said, even without the debacle, Esbelli Evi is one of the most comfortable and intimate hotels I have ever stayed at and will be my first choice when I return.

A stay at the Esbelli Evi is like being a guest at an elegant private home. I can not imagine staying anywhere else on our next visit.
