Why we love it
The setting
Argos in Cappadocia sits on the hillside at Uchisar, the highest point in the region. The hotel is built into restored cave dwellings and old stone houses, so rooms are carved from rock with arched ceilings and warm local stone. Many rooms open onto terraces that look out over Pigeon Valley and the surrounding rock formations. Uchisar Castle stands a short drive away, and the village itself is quiet, with narrow lanes and a slower pace than the busier towns nearby.
What to expect
The Family room works for two adults and keeps the cave character, with stone walls, a fireplace in many units and simple, comfortable furnishings. Breakfast is continental and served each morning at the hotel. The grounds include restored courtyards and gardens, and the property has its own small chapel and an underground tunnel system that connects parts of the estate. Staff can arrange hot air balloon flights at dawn, which is the main reason most people come to this part of Turkey.
Things to do nearby
Uchisar Castle is a five-minute drive and gives wide views across the valleys. Pigeon Valley, named for the dovecotes cut into its cliffs, is about six minutes away by car. The Valley of Love sits roughly 3 km from the hotel, and Ortahisar Castle is around 3.9 km. Goreme Open-Air Museum and its rock-cut churches are an easy drive, and the area is laced with walking trails between the valleys.
Best for
Couples and travellers who want a calm base for Cappadocia rather than a party scene. Good for anyone planning a balloon flight, a special trip or a few slow days of valley walks and stone-carved rooms with a view.
