Gerard and Mireille, 2 frenchies who decided to leave in Turkey 17 years ago, have now opened their house for 3 years to visitors (6 rooms); What a great idea !!!

Small hotel with delightful ambience, excellent service, great food and charming host- utter perfection more

L'Orangerie is the finest small hotel that my wife and I have ever visited. Prepare yourself for a uniquely pleasurable experience. L'Orangerie is a hidden gem (so make sure you request directions if you are driving).

We can only recommend this nice and quiet place without restriction. Everything was perfect: the reception was very warm, the rooms were extremely well maintained and clean, the swimming pool was very... more

What a stunning little hotel! We were in Turkey for about 5 weeks, and this was one of our very favorites. The grounds are lovely and well-kempt, and the hotel is surrounded by orange groves. The owners are French but they love Turkey, and combine all the very best of both worlds- French charm and grace and Turkish vibrance, flavor,... more

Even though the hotel officially only opens after the winter period in April, the owners did offer us some rooms, provided a good amount of heating, which is still necessary in March in Turkey and prepared an... more
