History

Description

Les Maisons de Cappadoce is a cave hotel under French managemant and thus a good address for French speaking tourists. It is owned by M Jacques Avizou, a French architect who discovered Cappadocia decades ago. The hotel consists of a dozen unique houses, each with its own private entrance, salon, bedroom, and terrace garden. Avizou restored them with elegance and charm, and decorated them with exquisite items he collected on his travels. The rooms are actually self-contained appartements with their own kitchen, fireplace and outside terrace.

Uçhisar is the highest town in Göreme area and thus the hotel offers the best views of the striking Cappadocian countryside of Pigeon Valley.
