TANDIRLI CAVE SUITE

This room was formerly a kitchen, with the family who used to live here using the room not only as a kitchen but also for heating. They also pressed grapes to obtain grape juice and boiled the juice on the fire to produce molasses. In this multi-purpose kitchen there was a tandir (underground oven), the şırahane grape pressing apparatus, and a weaving loom. During the restoration, we had to cover the weaving loom area, but the tandir and the press have been kept in their original places. 

The suite consists of a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and an ‘Oriental unit.’ You can relax on the sofa and gaze out at the amazing Cappadocia view. The room has been decorated with priceless antiques, including 18th century cloth and an 80-year-old bridal sheet—in its original color and texture as if brand new. The spinning wheel in the room belonged to the old landlord.
