If you’re looking for a quieter and more authentic alternative to Göreme, I highly recommend staying in Uçhisar—and especially at La Maison de Sisik. The hotel is located close to the castle and has incredible panoramic views from the terrace. Watching the hot air balloons in the early morning was magical. You can also see Pigeon Valley, Red Valley, White Valley, Love Valley, and Göreme from there—all easy to reach. The breakfast was varied and delicious, beautifully presented with options for every taste. The room was nicely decorated, with a comfortable bed and a great shower. Everything I needed was there. Ayşe, the host, was always available, friendly, and helpful with tips and local advice. The staff were also lovely—always smiling and welcoming. I truly had a fantastic experience and felt right at home. Would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

La maison de Şişik is a wonderful place to stay. The hotel is tastefully decorated, while honoring local traditions and atmospheres. The view from the terrace is splendid. Breakfasts are delicious and plentiful. We are particularly grateful to Ayşe for her kindness and generosity. Thanks to her, we were able to go on a horseback ride without worrying about the organization, discover the Rose Valley benefiting from her knowledge and explanations, and have long discussions about the local way of life, the differences with France, and our respective customs! Her impressive level of French must also be praised! Take the time to explore the collection of decorative objects carefully sourced by Şişik himself, to stroll on the terrace at sunrise or late in the afternoon, and to chat with Ayşe and Şişik to learn more about local life and the adventures surrounding this house. If you are lucky, you may even experience the traditional dinner organized by Ayşe with the help of her family. We highly recommend taking part! If you are looking for an experience close to the locals and the traditions of the region, La maison de Şişik is the perfect place. Thank you again, Ayşe — thanks to your kindness, we had a wonderful vacation! Margot & Geoffrey

Great hosts showed an unmost attention towards me. I had no requests but they were ready to help anyway! It was a great time staying there. Food was good, room was clean, check-in&check-out were fast and easy. The place looks amazing, the views from hotel's properties cannot be decribed in words. It is overall a wonderful cozy place, I would recommend it to every friend coming to Cappadocia

Some things I encountered were not significant to me but could be important to someone else. For example, some sockets were jumping out of the wall. Also there were holes in the tiles of shower area, probably left there after remodelling. Not a problem but an important notice for any future guests: the room was very small, pretty much it only fit the bed.

You will never find better hospitality and service than here. As soon as we arrived we were met with the friendliest owners, a complimentary breakfast and a room upgrade. Surely we could not expect for the stay to get even better, but it did! Sisik showed us around Pigon valley, Aisha arranged for different excrusions, and both of them continuasly made sure we were comfortable. Extraordinary room, with amazing roof top terrace overlooking the hot air balloons in the morning, pigeon valley and Uchisar castle. Clean and comfortable. Best stay we have ever had, and could ever wish for!

I 100% recommend this place if you’re visiting Cappadocia! Everything about this hotel was exceptional! The owner is extremely kind and generous, we arrived at 9 am and she let us check-in without us asking about it then she invited us for breakfast whereas breakfast shouldn’t be included on the first day. The breakfast was amazing with fresh fruits and variety of jams, the lady makes you omelette in the open kitchen and the ambience just feels like home. It’s the simplicity that just makes everything in this place so cosy and comfortable. The room is very beautiful and clean, even the bathroom has some beautiful details. The hotel in general is just so beautiful and they make you feel like home.

Very nice helpful kind stuff. Nice tasty breakfast with fresh breads and home made things. We stayed for new year night. Hotel had some party ( we didn’t attend, but I’m sure it was nice ). Very beautiful view from the rooftop. Cute cat family around. Easy access to Castle , which is open since 7 am, so you can see sunrise from there. But to be honest, rooftop is enough as a view. 10 minutes walking and you are at the entrance of pigeon Valley, which has nice road to Göreme. Nice view of Kapadokya.

Room need some maintenance (walls, bed side lights..) In the evening water was not that hot, if to compare with Göreme hotels for example

This place is truly a hidden gem in the charming city of Uchisar. The owner made us feel immediately at home and went over and beyond to meet our wishes. She organised a home cooked dinner which was the best food we had during our stay. Best part is to wake up with a view over the valley and have breakfast on the terrace on a traditional lounge set.

Really incredible location made even better by the outdoor area/rooftop terrace that provides plenty of space to relax during the day as well as an incredible view of hot air balloons in the morning. The breakfast is also the best we’ve had so far in Turkiye.

The room could have been improved by an extraction fan in the bathroom/some way to air out the room - especially as at times we did have some smoke from outside come into the room.

The place was really great! It was an ancient cave with restored Christian motifs in it. It was close to many touristic places, and restaurants. It was also a quite cozy place with lovely staff and environment. It has a magnificent view of pigeon valley.

The room lights could have been better because the bathroom was a bit dark even with the lights on. Other than this, it was very beautiful!

La Maison De Sisik is the most amazing place! The decor is as beautiful as the views, the breakfast is exceptional and they also serve wonderful dinners. Aysenur and her family are very helpful with organizing anything you can think of or need. Her father Şişik has the best antique kilim collection right near the hotel......I went crazy in there We will be back for sure!

I really cannot think of anything.
