What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Essentially, it’s a townhouse hotel, one that’s positively dripping with charm, designed in a contemporary style but one that makes liberal use of the historical bones of the house
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The village's cobblestone streets and restaurants sit right outside, and Aegean windsurfing bays are a short drive away.
The rooms
Rooms have thick stone walls and custom woodwork, and select suites add traditional bay windows or private terrace hot tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Wooden loungers line the freshwater pool in the inner courtyard, steps from a heated garden hot tub.
Restaurant
Sota Alaçatı
Tables spill onto the cobblestone lane, where the open kitchen cooks local seafood over wood fire.
At the table
Under mature olive trees on the deck, morning spreads bring warm pişi pastries, local cheeses, and estate olive oil.
How it began

Owner Figen Erbaş lived in the 1850s stone mansion as a private home, hosting garden dinners before turning it into a hotel.
