This intimate hideaway seamlessly merges İstanbul's European aesthetic with Turkish provincial life and is run with aplomb by charming host Eren Serpen. Just five spacious rooms (four of them caves) employ a chic minimalist style ethos, featuring Archimedes lamps, signature chairs and hip block-colour rugs, to bring a thoroughly 21st-century swagger to Cappadocia cave living.
The toiletries are top shelf, breakfasts feature Eren's fabulous home baking, and relaxing in the sun-drenched courtyard leaves guests in no doubt that humankind has evolved from that staid old prehistoric cave life.
