Fodor's Expert Review Fresco Cave Suites and Mansions

Spread over three Ottoman mansions connected by courtyards and terraces, these appealing accommodations include both cave and non-cave rooms—a few have small original frescoes and painted floral moldings. Design is tasteful, with traditional local accents like handsomely carved wooden wall alcoves and ceilings. The good-size bathrooms are modern, and many have tubs. The entrance level, which has a small bar, is filled with antiques and displays black-and-white photos of prominent local families who once lived here. The hotel's restaurant, offering local cuisine in a traditional Ottoman setting, asks for orders four to five hours in advance, enough time for meals to slowly cook in a tandoor oven.
