Tașmektep Otel

Transformed by a local NGO from a 1937 stone schoolhouse, this charming boutique hotel has a contemporary country feel with plenty of antiques and photos illustrating community history. Airy, pine-furnished rooms are spacious, and there's a good buffet breakfast. It's mere centimetres off the main Fırtına Valley road, 1km south of Çamlıhemşin, with a couple of arty little cafes nearby.
