From the terrace, when you go down the stairs to the street below, there’s a rock carved cave suite on the right. In front of the cave room, there’s a huge bellows.

The Oriental Cave is a true family room. If you like you can stay there with your children. The decoration and function of the room is very suitable for this purpose. The room is entirely of rock and has a history of 250 years. It was carved with patience, using pointed iron chisels. During the restoration of the room, they used the same tools, but they did this without spoiling the architectural structure. After the owners left these chambers, it had become filled with water and mud, and the rocks had to be cleaned thoroughly. In the Oriental Cave, and right across the bedroom section, and in front of the window, there’s a slightly elevated section that we call an Oriental Chamber. The floor of this part made entirely of wood, is decorated with precious “Cicims” and “Sumaks”. The window opens out to the tortoise garden and the walnut tree.

Tafana Cave Suite

This is another one of our special cave suites. Tafana stands for Kitchen in local Turkish. There’s a pit in the floor, called Tandir, which was used as a sort of cooking oven. It follows that the landlord used this area as a kitchen in the past. During the restoration work, they didn’t touch this pit nor the blackness on the ceiling caused by the use of this oven. On the contrary, they did the best to preserve it as such. Aunt Hanim, the owner of this cave house used to bake bread and cook dishes in earthenware pots in this Tandir. At the moment they are cooking the same traditional dishes in the restaurant of the hotel to please you, the guests.

In this suite there’s a loving room with a great window from where you can view the Wonderful Love Valley. You may sit on the sofa, and while you sip your coffee you may watch the scenery and at the same time admire the 18th century Konya rug on the wall, a rare item of the collection.

They also pressed their grapes to obtain grape juice, and then they boiled this grape juice on the fire to produce molasses. In this multi-purpose kitchen there was a “Tandir”, a grape pressing apparatus, and a weaving loom. During the restoration, they were obliged to cover the are where there was the weaving loom. But the Tandir and the press have been kept as they are.

The suite consists of a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom and an oriental unit. You may relax on the sofa of the living room to watch Cappadocia, the land of dreams.

Also on display are Suzani covers and 80 year old bridal sheets, that keep their original color and texture as though they were brand new.

People living here in ancient times used to climb through this place during times of danger to save themselves and their families, perhaps from Byzantine soldiers, who knows?

The Byzantine column used as the head rest of the bed is a very strange part of the decoration. The quilts have been specially prepared. The rugs on the floor are Tasp?nar rugs and kilims.
