Pros:

Do pequeno almoço ótimo, a simpatia e disponibilidade das pessoas e do espaço da piscina. As miúdas adoraram! As pessoas da casa disponibilizaram boias.

Cons:

o acesso à casa é feito por uma estrada estreita que ainda nao estava asfaltada, em reconstrução, mas acessível por qualquer carro. Outro ponto: com bom tempo seria optimo tomar o pequeno almoço no pátio.

Quiet and romantic perfection
Pros:

Best stay in Turkey. The hosts were very accomodating and made our balloon reservations at rates lower than available in Goerme. Room was amazing. A real non-styrofoam matress . Nice linens, comfortable pillows, excellent shower, quiet, beautiful balcony, good wifi, stellar views, soft towels. I was in heaven. Breakfast was delicious and changed a little bit every day to make it good for longer stays. Just a wonderful place that I wish we would have stayed longer in.

Hotel pitoresco Urgup
Pros:

Os anfitriões eram extremamente simpáticos e acolhedores. O quarto limpo, decoração típica, confortável, bonito. O hotel lindo e a proximidade ao centro de Urgup é um bónus, sendo que a zona circundante era muito pitoresca. Adorei tudo

Amazing holiday in Ürgüp
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at Elif Stone House. It has a lovely, family-friendly atmosphere, and Aydin and Emine are such warm hosts! It is a 200-year-old house with wonderful charm. Our room was very cozy and spacious. A large pool invites you to swim and relax. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. The center is about a 10-minute walk away. Aydin organized the airport shuttle and various excursions for us.
We can highly recommend this hotel.

Pros:

It's a cozy and well located family-run hotel with a nice pool, which is very rare in Cappadocia. Friendly staff is always ready to accommodate your needs.

Cons:

Please remember that Turkiye is a tea-drinking country, and they serve you tea at breakfast by default. If you are a coffielover, tell them for it.

Pros:

Lontano dal caos di Goreme, qui l'atmosfera è genuina e autentica. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile. La stanza è ampia e luminosa, purtroppo di notte un po' calda (le tende oscuranti impediscono l'apertura delle finestre). Per il prezzo pagato, servirebbero alcuni lavori di ammodernamento (bagno, soprattutto).

Good position. Unuseful swimming pool for tourists
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful and well mantained. The position is perfect to visit Cappadicia and the view from here is really interesting, with many cave-houses around the hotel.
We had two rooms and they were not big, but comfortable and clean.
The owner and all the staff are kind.

Cons:

The swimming pool it’s unuseful if you want to visit Cappadocia because it’s opened only between 11.00 and 18.00.
For the Owner: If there’s a problem with the lifeguard’s hours (as you said to us) you should change it!

The pool it’s not only for the guests of the hotel, but is opened also to people from outside.

This thing is not declared on Booking and we don’t consider it a correct behaviour for the hotel guest’s privacy and relaxing time.
All these things say us that the swimming pool it’s not a feature of the Hotel, but only one more business for them.

behind the pool there is an area, a sort of warehouse, that should be cleaned or hidden from view.

Siamo stati benissimo!
Pros:

La struttura è molto bella, ricavata in un edificio storico di più di 200 anni. I gestori sono molto gentili. La colazione è meravigliosa. La posizione è bella, nella parte alta di Urgup, un bel paesino più tranquillo di Goreme. A 5 minuti a piedi ci sono 2-3 ristoranti di livello superiore alla media.

Cons:

Nulla. Un solo avvertimento : la piscina chiude alle 18.00 e non è derogabile perché c’è un bagnino, ma la maggior parte dei tour (rosso, verde…) finiscono a quell’ora e non si riesce a utilizzarla. Suggerisco di fare i tour in autonomia con una macchina a noleggio per godere, in estate, anche della bella piscina dell’albergo.
