Top choice in İzmir & the North Aegean
Why stay in a pension when there is a stunning option like this on offer? This 16-room hotel is full of contemporary art, serves a lavish and delicious breakfast and has a series of terraces with mountain views. Occupying a vine-clad stone house that has been given a modern makeover, its rooms are cramped but comfortable nonetheless.
The friendly owner speaks excellent English and goes out of her way to assist guests. There's a bar and restaurant on site, too.
