Sacred House

The restaurant was very nice, many thanks to Mr. Ersin for his attention and care.

This hotel is the most characteristic and attentive I have ever stayed in Turkey, starting with its location. It's centrally located in the town of Urgup, just off the ramp from the hotel door. Then there's the whole hotel interior, like a fine church. The layout of the rooms is European art and the furniture is solid. Each room is different, better looking than the picture, and it has to be there to experience it. Then there's the service, my requests for reception are met and there is everything a five-star should have. Finally breakfast, exquisite and rich plate... Overall just so satisfying!

Friends highly recommended Sacred House and it did not disappoint! It is a gorgeous property with very beautiful, unique rooms. We agree with other reviewers that it is a magical place! We stayed 3 nights and the staff were super friendly and helpful. When we checked in, Jon (or maybe Sean?) kindly asked us if we had booked any excursions. Upon learning we had not yet booked a hot air balloon ride, he informed us that last minute rush deals were available for the following morning since balloon companies often discount any available unfilled capacity. It was our lucky day! Despite having a 4am pickup, it was an amazing life experience to be among so many colorful balloons flying across Cappadocia's breathtaking landscape! The town of Urgup is a not as big or touristy as Goreme, but we loved staying in this quieter town. There were plenty of great nearby restaurants like Mel's & TikTok Kadin Emegi both less than a 5 minute walk from Sacred House. Regarding rooms, since we requested air conditioning, my husband and I were in Oracle but our (adult) daughters who preferred a balcony over A/C, were placed in nearby Haram. While both rooms were spacious and exquisite, the chairs and couch were not so comfortable, and so we loved that there was a shaded outdoor area between the rooms with comfy seating where we could read and do work. The breakfast was very delicious but almost too generous as we hated wasting what we could not finish. Thank you all at Sacred House for an amazing visit, we cannot wait to return!
