Helvacılar Konağı

Beautiful historic place to stay close to Afrodisias. Emin bey was super helpful and enthusiastic. He also lent me a more appropriate walking stick.
Breakfast was lovely!

Essa acomodação na realidade é uma experiência. O dono do hotel tem muito orgulho da história do hotel, e com razão, trata-se de uma herança familiar. A casa onde se localiza o hotel tem cerca de 300 anos e inúmeras historias, cada objeto tem uma razão de estar ali. A barreira da língua foi facilmente resolvida pelo próprio dono do hotel com um tradutor. Em resumo experiência sensacional.

Tutto perfetto in una casa antica e tipica della regione, grazie anche alle premure del proprietario, una persona davvero deliziosa. Da restare più a lungo ma il tempo è tiranno!

Un hôte très agréable, qui prend le temps de partager.

Muy amable el propietario y muy buen desayuno.

The host was very friendly. He served homemade halva from a centuries old family tradition

I was just looking for a place to stay for one night to visit Aphrodisias the next day, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my trip. The house is an historical 300 years old mansion, comfortable, very charming and special, renovated with a lot of love and care into a small hotel, and with a lush garden in front. The room is nice and comfortable, full of history and charm as well, and the bathroom is not big but it's functional and does well the job.
The best part of my short stay was to meet Emin, the gracious host and owner of the guesthouse, such a kind, charming and sweet gentleman. He welcomed me on the street, offered me some tea and cookies in the living room while he was doing my check in, and then we had a little chat using the phone's translator. The next morning he prepared a plentiful local breakfast, it was delicious and homemade, he and his wife themselves make the halva, the cherry jam and grow the olives. While I ate breakfast, Emin sat with me with his tea and we had a lovely conversation (with the translator) about diverse topics, like local history, Aphrodisias visiting tips, his family, mine, his hobbies, his olive trees and his love for antiques. He also told me about the house's renovation and his garden and plants. It was such a lovely time and it was hard to leave! I hope to return again.

Le propriétaire de cette maison (vieille de 300 ans) a été exceptionnel. Nous étions les seuls clients. Il échangeait avec nous via Google Translate et a été aux petits soins avec nous. Il nous a parlé de sa maison, de son village où il a été maire pendant plusieurs années, nous a donné les bonnes adresses de restaurant ainsi que la boutique pour acheter du Helva "maison". Il nous a servi un petit déjeuner copieux, nous apportait des plats, des olives de son jardin et des confitures confectionnées par sa femme. Un régal ! Le village n'est pas touristique mais aucun problème de sécurité. La pension est située en plein centre-ville. Le vendredi soir, le bar juste à côté est un peu bruyant ... . Chauffage avec une pompe à chaleur dans la chambre (il faisait frais la nuit !) et couette très chaude. Au moment de nous quitter, il nous a offert en cadeau un objet en terre cuite car il y a de nombreux potier dans la région. Rencontre très riche avec cet homme.

Perfect for visiting Afrodisias. The owner was incredibly hospitable and helpful. So much history in that house and more than happy to share. Also made great suggestions about where to grab some dinner and to check out the local pottery. Really a relaxing delightful evening . Lovely to be able to learn a little history and be surrounded by all the house had to offer. Plus breakfast was great. Highly recommend.

It was a beautiful property on the inside full of antiques an charm. The host, although he did not speak English, and I do not speak Turkish, was a wizard on the translation app. Breakfast with homemade jam and olives (amongst other things) was fine.

Een unieke locatie met een fantastische gastheer. Een historisch pand dat je terug laat gaan in de tijd maar je een unieke ervaring bezorgt.

Accueil de l hôte, maison typique et côté brocante antique, petit dejeuner copieux

Cet hébergement chez un particulier affable et accueillant est exceptionnel. La nuit passée restera dans nos mémoires. Une maison de famille typique, âgée de trois siècles, magnifiquement aménagée qui a une âme. Très bon pet- déjeuner. Excellent rapport qualité/ prix.

Casa meravigliosa host accogliemte

Meraviglioso trascorrere una notte in un’antica casa ottomana, ristrutturata con cura dal gentilissimo proprietario Emin, professore di fisica in pensione che da qualche anno ha reso disponibile ai turisti questa esperienza unica. Le camere sono semplici ma accoglienti, con l’aria condizionata, il bagno è nell’armadio, come nella tradizionale dimora ottomana, ma ha tutto ciò che serve. La posizione è comoda per la visita del sito archeologico di Aphrodisia, a pochi chilometri. Colazione buonissima con marmellata e dolci fatti in casa. L’atmosfera davvero particolare e la gentilezza e la cura con cui Emin ci ha accolti ci lasciano un ricordo splendido.

Chambre dans un « konag » ancien et traditionnel turc (l’équivalent d’une ferme familiale ou maison de maître de campagne), dans une petite ville aussi traditionnelle turque. Accueil chaleureux dans la tradition turque par le propriétaire et ancien maire de le ville. Petit dej produits locaux.

This guesthouse is in an authentic historic house, full of atmosphere, hosted by a charming gentleman who adores his town (he was once the mayor). Great common spaces, excellent breakfast. Nearby Aphrodisias is a knockout.
