Wow, we really got lucky with this one, a gorgeous atmospheric hotel created from several old houses. We got a lift from Konya with a couple of kind fellow travellers, Arian and Bep, and thought we'd copy their lead and stay in Avanos before heading to Goreme. There are two tiers of rooms here: one with fridges, baths and private tea/coffee making facilities; the others with more basic rooms. All are tastefully decorated with well-chosen carpets, kilims and local crafts, and connected via shady squares and terraces. We balked at the first suggested (discounted) price of 60 YTL for the more basic room, but then it came down to 50, which in hindsight was a genuine bargain. Two weeks after staying there, it remains the best place we've stayed in Turkey. There's wireless access in some areas, but there was none in our room. Note: At peak times, you might need to book in advance here.Bathroom: private (which smelt a bit the first day, which is why we balked at the first price, then fine after that).
View: Courtyard and distant mountains
Cost: 50 YTL inc buffet breakast
Recommended: Yes, without a doubt.
