If you don't fancy tackling Ürgüp's hills to get to bed, this rambling Greek mansion is right in the centre of town. Stone-arch rooms are large and come with snazzy big bathrooms decked out in beautiful onyx-travertine, while cave rooms below brim with original carved details. Travelling families are well looked after here with good-value, exceptionally spacious room options.
