About the Hotel
Perched on the cascading hillsides of Ortahisar in Cappadocia, Tafoni Houses Cave Hotel offers an immersive luxury experience rooted in the region’s centuries-old cave dwelling traditions. The boutique property transforms ancient cave homes and stone residences into elegant suites filled with vintage furnishings, original artwork, handcrafted details, and authentic architectural features that reflect the cultural heritage of Cappadocia. Each suite is uniquely designed, with many offering fireplaces, jacuzzis, vaulted stone ceilings, expansive terraces, and panoramic valley views that create an atmosphere both romantic and deeply atmospheric. The hotel’s intimate scale and highly personalized hospitality allow guests to experience the quieter, more authentic side of Cappadocia while still enjoying refined comforts and thoughtfully curated luxury.
Located near the famed Balkan Deresi Valley hiking route, guests can explore the region through horseback riding, hot air balloon excursions, hiking, ATV safaris, and visits to ancient underground cities and Byzantine cave churches. Dining at the hotel’s Nest Restaurant highlights regional cuisine and local wines within a beautifully designed cave setting.

Reviews for Tafoni Houses Cave Hotel
Authenticity
I stayed here for 3 nights and cannot say enough about the kindness of the staff. Every team member o encountered went above and beyond - you really felt the Turkish hospitality. Even the chef came out to check on me each dinner - his food is amazing by the way and the biggest hidden gem in the region. The accommodations are lovely and the area the hotel is located in is quiet. It has a lovely authentic feel that I truly appreciated. Highly recommend - stay here, eat here and enjoy yourself.

A place worth returning to.
The staff at the hotel were very friendly and accommodating. Meals were exceptional, the chef wanted to make sure we were pleased with our meals. Our cave room was interesting enough to take a video. The largest bathroom we have ever had and very modern.

Great Hotel!
Staff, service, food and the accommodations were fabulous! They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The chef was terrific - he made adjustments to allergies and remembered them the entire time we stayed there.

Best cave hotel experience in Cappadocia and the nicest and kindest of staff
The best stay I had in Turkey the are the most hospitable people and make you feel so welcome. I was on my own 22 to 24th May and stayed there. Chocolate fondue in my room spa and king size bed with fluffy pillows. It was just wonderful. The chef is the best he catered for my vegetarian taste which is hard in Turkey . Came and to see what I’d like and checked after if I enjoyed. Thank you to all the staff who made my stay memorable

Fantastic all round
The accommodation here was spectacular. We were greeted by all the staff, complimentary drink, chocolate fondue & fruit bowl in our room. The meals were fantastic. Fresh and tasty, plentiful & varied. Best if all were the staff who went above and beyond for us. No requests were too much for them. They appreciated our culture soo much they requested a waiata (song) which we happily provided soo they could video and use for their website. Truly a place to return to, I highly recommend staying here.
