If you want to really enjoy a relaxed holiday in a unique Turkish Village in CappaDokya Choose Ayvali. Where else would you get your host looking after all your travel plans, needs even before they occur and looking after all your comfort? If you want a Hot Air Balloon ride, Okan takes care of it.

Everything the other reviews said about the pleasure of staying here is true! I'm so glad we chose this small property for our time here. It is far enough away from the bustle of Gerome and Urgup, to really feel like we were getting a genuine experience of rural Turkish village life, rather than a touristic commercial experience. The drive... More

A great family run lodge in a village about 15 minutes from Urgup. There are three rooms all of which are very nice. The family cooks the food for the restaurant and it was always pletiful, delicious and local. Okan was always helpful with good advice on what to visit and where to eat and is a great help in...

My husband and I really love this hotel and definitely hope to go back. Okan, the manager was very helpful responding to our emails even before we left for Turkey. This hotel is run by the family. Okan's father was waiting at Kayseri airport to pick us up and it took about an hour to get to the hotel. Okan's... More

It wouldn't be a stretch to say staying at Aravan Evi was one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. My husband and I stayed at this small hotel for five nights at the beginning of our vacation in Turkey and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Even before arriving in Cappadocia, I knew we were in... More

Where to start - easy flight to Kayseri, Okan's father picked us up, and drove us to this small hotel in a small town, where Okan welcomed us and took us touring for the afternoon (while we pelted him with questions). Okan's mother cooked us wonderful, traditional meals, much of the food coming from their farm. Okan arranged for a... More

My sister and I stayed at Aravan Evi for 3 nights at the end of September. Our flight arrival at Kayseri was delayed and we got there around 10:30 p.m. Okan, the hotel owner's son, was there to pick us up and drove over one hour to the hotel (no charge). We would have been totally lost without this special... More

We were lucky enough to stay in Aravan Evi for four nights. As we were the only guests, we had Okan and his family's undivided attention. Ayvali, a small village a few kilometers outside Urgup, is very peaceful and from the Aravan Evi terrace, you can watch time go by as it has done for many years. The room we... More

My husband and I stayed at Aravan Evi for two nights this past August. Our room was beautiful and spacious (including hand embroidered linen). The outdoor terrace has an amazing view of the town of Ayvali and the surrounding landscape, plus is filled with bright potted flowers and grapevines. We rented a car through the hotel (very convenient) and received... More
