Ogzala Ciftlik Evi

You can stay in a room or a tent, and arrange breakfast and other meals day by day. It's a friendly place, surrounded by green and blue, with a lovely natural setting for walks. The only sounds around are birds and nature.

It's a lovely place to unwind, but make a reservation first since they don't want big crowds. Families won't be turned away, though you may have to eat whatever happens to be available, and even that may leave you wanting more.

After breakfast we had a wonderful walk in the forest, and the kids didn't want to leave. We also loved the walk before breakfast, the organic meal by the fireplace, and chatting with Mr. Erhan. We stayed one night as a family. It's a very natural place, and Mr. Erhan, the owner, is attentive, friendly, and great with children. There were a few shortcomings, but the warm, natural atmosphere made them easy to overlook. We'd consider coming back.

I can't wait to get back to the fireplace after a long walk. The trails are wonderful, the setting is quiet and peaceful, and we love spending time by the fire, eating camp meals or watching the stars from right outside our bungalow. Erhan Bey has always looked after us with great care and hospitality, whether we stayed in the hotel or a bungalow. Everything was very clean, with towels provided, and we were treated attentively even when there was over a meter of snow. It's somewhere we'll enjoy visiting in every season. People have commented on the water: it comes from the mountain, and Erhan Abi lets it settle before serving it. It's clean and tastes good. As an environmental engineer, I drink it with confidence and haven't had any problems.
