Host Murat İşnel creates a fun, sociable atmosphere at his nine-room hilltop pad with its rooftop bar overlooking the entire sweep of Ürgüp's craggy cliffs. Set around a courtyard abloom with roses and lavender, rooms (both half- and full cave) are generously sized and simply furnished. Breakfast is a slap-up feast featuring cafetière coffee and homemade cake.
If you need more space, the well-equipped one-bedroom apartment, with knock-out views from its balcony, is a winner.
