Architect-design couple İbrahim and Gül have crafted what might be Safranbolu's most striking reinterpretation of the Ottoman aesthetic. 'Rose House' is an affordable masterpiece where urban luxury mingles seamlessly with traditional Ottoman design. Amid a shaded, grassy garden, the rooms (spread over three houses) are all soft colours, wood panelling and Turkmen carpets, set off by flamboyant artistic touches.
Guests lucky enough to stay here can enjoy a drink in the tiny underground cave bar (once the treasury of the house) or dine at the private restaurant where the pick of local produce is on the menu.
