The hotel is in a small Turkish village, a 5-10 minute drive from the Gallipoli Park and all the major sights. The village as most reviews indicate is a small farming village completely unspoilt by tourism. The hotel in its construction fits well with its environment. The owners are lovely, Eric was tremendously helpful in planning our trip around Gallipoli and further on through Turkey. Ozlem is an amazing cook and host, and also very good at backgammon, as my friends and I found out.

The rooms are nicely decorated with some Turkish antiques, have a mini-bar and beautiful views. The room and bathroom were very spacious and spotless. The beds were comfortable, and the blankets warm. The main building also had a computer with Internet which was useful in planning the next stages of our trip.

Eric & Özlem have achieved a modern lodging that blends in with this small, unspoilt (by tourism) farming village. They are knowledgeable and engaging hosts, that strive to help their guests with travel information and suggestions for touring the local area. After travelling around Turkey for 2 weeks, my wife and I regarded this place as the friendliest and most relaxing place to stay on our trip.
It is a great location to base any visit to the Gallipoli Peninsula Battlefields, especially if you have your own transport.
Eric knows the local area very well, and was very helpful with suggestions of what to see. I had explored the major local sites on previous visits, and Eric's local knowledge was invaluable for alternate explorations.
I should also compliment Özlem on her dinners, which were fantastic!
We really enjoyed our short stay here.

We really loved this place. The room was fabulous and the surroundings (a village of 23 people) was incredibly charming. Eric was a fantastic host and gave us a lot of good advice on how to spend our limited time in the area. The food was also delicious -- some of the best fish we had in Turkey. It is an incredible value for what you get.

My husband and I wanted to stay one night in Canakkale to continue the next day our trip to Istanbul. We booked this hotel after reading tripadvisor´s reviews and it was a really great surprise. It´s a perfect place to relax and visit Gallipoli peninsula. The hotel is spotless and very cozy. The food was wonderful. It feel just like home.

What a beautiful place to stay with charming hosts Eric Goossens and his wife Ozlem. Lovely, spacious, beautifully designed, modern cottages each with a patio overlooking open countryside and a traditional farming village. Wonderful home cooked food with locally sourced produce, and all excellent value for money. One of the most enjoyable hotels I have ever stayed in.
Eric loves the area and is immensely knowledgeable about it. We are not battlefield buffs but went to see the countryside which is lovely and he showed us routes for walks which we would never otherwise have found. The whole southern part of the peninsula is a National Park of great historic importance to the Turks, and so there is no new building, no high-rise hotels, no holiday homes to spoil the countryside. We did not have a car but Eric provided transport. In spring and autumn the eastern european migrating birds fly down this way and we are told that the spring flowers are spectacular so this is a good reason for a return visit.

  • Liked — delightful situation, wonderful hosts.
  • Disliked — nothing
