We had the pleasure of visiting the 'Hidden Palace' for a delightful meal during our holiday to Ovacik in September this year. The fact that they offer a pick up and delivery home service adds to the experience as you'd never stumble across the hotel whilst out for a stroll. The food was superb and the ambience just excellent. The... More

Thanks went last year was stunning in everyway, food location, pick up service - everything was totally brilliant. The desert was the finest I have ever had a nougat based ice cream. Words can't say enough.

I was made aware of this restaurant after talking to a gentleman whilst dining elsewhere, unfortunately he could not remember the name or where it was situated, only up in Hisaronu. After 2/3 days of detective work I managed to find out what/where and who had this beautiful place. I made a phone call to Frank and as there was... More

Where does one start when every aspect of this hotel and restaurant is far beyond expectation. Fabulous hotel, setting, ambience and food that is worthy of a Michelin star. Their care and attention goes beyond a five star rating, very professional but friendly and personal. The location is truly magnificent with views across the valley. Eric, Frank and Philip are...

We have just spent the most idyllic 10 days at Palazzo Il Rifugio! There really aren't enough superlatives to do it justice. The setting is fabulous - up in the mountains above Hisaronu, affording peace and tranquillity with wonderful views. The only interruption to be heard is the gentle tinkling of the bells around the necks of the goats and... More

This was our second visit to this unique boutique hotel and won't be our last. It really is a very special place that Eric, Frank and Philip have created and their attention to every detail is exquisite. It's their home as well as their hotel, and they are all the most perfect, welcoming and responsive hosts. With only 7 bedrooms,... More

This boutique hotel is just wonderful. Set in the Babadag mountains with the most amazing views over Hisaronu and OluDeniz. The food is outstanding and the attention to detail is faultless. This would make a wonderful venue for a wedding!!!! Nothing is too much trouble for the owners who make you very welcome in their hidden palace. Can't wait to... More

This hotel is outstanding.............we went up for Afternoon Tea just before Christmas. The house was beautifully decorated and the Christmas Trees were just stunning. The hotel and restaurant are open all year round, which is rare in this area of Turkey. You can be sure of a warm welcome from the Palazzo team. This hotel is a little hidden gem.... More

We returned to Turkey to stay at Palazzo IL Rifugio from Boxing Day until New Years day. What a fantastic Christmas time we had. The food, staff and whole atmosphere was fabulous. We stayed in the suite which was spotless, spacious and had beautiful views of the mountains and hotel gardens. We were spoilt from the moment we stepped in... More
