Argos in Cappadocia Review

Luxurious accommodations, a commitment to excellent service, and environmentally friendly practices quickly made the Argos in Cappadocia a top recommendation since opening in 2010. Guest rooms and public spaces—a cozy lounge, an excavated concert space for special occasions, and the excellent restaurant with its several outdoor spaces—make use of the area's natural stone and wood, softened with colorful natural fabrics and impeccable design details. Rooms, some in caves and some in restored mansions, are distributed over several buildings amid well-tended gardens with magnificent views over Pigeon Valley. All but one of the rooms have a fireplace (though none have tvs) and most have a terrace; the "splendid" level suites have small private swimming pools. The property is centrally located for hiking and for visiting the breathtaking sights of Cappadocia but plan an extra day or two here to just enjoy the hotel. At this writing, a spa is in the works, too.

Luxe Cave Living
A large part of the allure of Cappadoccia, with its otherworldly landscape of rock-hewn fairy castles, is spending the night in a cave hotel. And the best place to experience cave living at its finest is at the Argos, where each of the uniquely decorated rooms and suites are cheerfully cozy with locally made fabrics, antique rugs, and handicrafts, as well as top-of-the-line bed linens and bath products. Fred and Wilma Flintstone would envy the suites, outfitted with a private plunge pool or fireplace, or both. Outside, the views over Pigeon Valley are magical, especially from the terrace of the excellent on-site restaurant with a glass of wine made from the vineyard right outside.
