Official star rating:
A real favourite, Kale Konak stands out for its wonderful location, atmosphere and for the personality of its splendid owner/manager Abdullah (Apo).
Set just beneath the castle on the upper lanes of Uchisar town, with wonderful views over Cappadocia to Erciyes Dag (Mount Argaeus) volcano, the konak (mansion) is a wonderful warren of 19th-century cave rooms.
There are terraces for sitting out in the summer, and a cosy lounge with an open fire for winter visitors, and the hotel also has its own hamam. The best views are from the breakfast room where evening meals can also be served on arrangement.
