If you are going to Turkey, you must go to Cappadocia/. If you go to Cappadocia you must stay at Les Maisons des Cappadoce. The owner, Jacques, is a famous, ex-pat architect from France who has completely re-built and restored 20 beautiful, traditional homes, in Uchasar, a village near Nevsehir, within 15 minutes of Goreme Open Museum. Some are caves, carved out of living rock. Others are built with rock and materials native to the area. Ask Jacques to set up a private walking tour with Mustafa - local historian an seller of antique rugs. I hope to retire there and ask Jacques help in selecting a place to drink good wine, watch the sunset and enjoy Turkey to it's fullest.

The location is superb and M. Avozou, owner and architect of this magnificent site, went out of his way to make our stay more than pleasant.

We were in Turkey for three weeks in October 2010. Staying in Les Maisons de Capaddoce was pure magic and much better than a hotel. Our studio, Les Chevres, had a beautiful view of Pigeon Valley and the surroundings could not be more romantic. Despite the fact that it is billed as a "studio," we were surprised at how large the apartment was. The bathroom is enormous, the bedroom has a fireplace, a seating alcove and a platform bed, and there was a separate sitting/cooking area . We loved getting the eggs, cheese, baguette and other goodies dropped off every day, and liesurely ate breakfast alone looking over the valley. We also highly recommend that you ask the owner, Jacques, to arrange for a local tour by Mustafa Yedek. He was incredibly well-informed about the sites in Cappadocia, and spoke perfect English. He was charming, funny and informative. During our time there, he became as much a friend as a tour guide. Also, don't miss the ballon ride -- you have to see Cappadocia from the air to believe it.

If you want to visit de region of Cappadoce, this is the perfect choice. With a selection of different size houses ( houses where you have a housekeeper and breakfast is brought to your door every morning) you are sure to find one that meets your needs and fits your budget. The views from the different terrases and balconies are like nothing I have ever seen. The special character of each house, built in caves, makes les maisons Cappadoce a unique housing propositon. These houses have been modeled and decorated to keep the unique feel of the stone and history of the region. It is done with the best of tastes.

We had the best experience with the staff at les maisons de Cappadoce. They helped us organise our visits; if you need a personnal guide, to find a store or to plan a visit, they will assit you with unmatched professionnalism.

We had a fabulous time and would recommend this to most demanding and best travelled customer. It is truly heaven on earth with 5 star service.
