1870’s Taş Konak Otel Sanat Sokağı

Very good staff. Good location

The property sits in a quiet corner of the bustling heart of Urla town proper. The farmers market that is opened during weekends is immediately in front of the entrance, a luxurious convenience before even entering the hotel. The hotel itself is a modern Villa conversion, which gives a cosy home atmosphere. All the rooms centre around a semi-open courtyard, which is heated during the colder months. Though the decor can come off as dated to some, it is so effortlessly inviting and paired with the warmth of the staff, feels more like a stay with family then the usual formality of larger hotel chains. My family got the 2 rear adjoining suites, which felt wonderfully private. Breakfasts are humble but appetising spreads of homemade preserves and purées with locally sourced bread, enough to fill you up for a day of exploring town. The hotel key gives you secure 24-hour access through an electronic entry system, while the staff are always available over the phone if there are any issues.
