Nafkar Loft

The river, green hills, and snow-capped peaks make this feel like heaven. Ali's mother, Zenap, is incredibly kind and welcoming, and they do everything they can to make you feel at home. If there were a ten-star rating, I'd give it to them. You have to see it for yourself.

Zeynep, Recai, and their daughter Serap made us feel welcome with their warmth and easy conversation, and the breakfast was satisfying too. The bungalow has a gorgeous view, and the road reaches right to the door, which isn't true of many hotels in Rize. Thank you, Nafkarloft!

Aunt Zeynep's breakfast is one you really shouldn't miss, and her and Uncle Recai's warmth made our family feel at home. Mr. Aliozan also looked after every detail, from directions to ideas for places to see. We stayed June 28-30 with our two children, and the house was beautifully furnished, high quality, and had everything we needed and then some. We came away with lots of memories and hope to return soon.

Aunt Zeynep's jam and muhlama are still on my mind, and Ali Ozan Bey turned out to be a fantastic guide. Ask him before planning your trip! We only stayed two days, but we already miss it. His parents, Aunt Zeynep and Uncle Recai, looked after us so warmly, and the view and setting are hard to put into words. From our first contact with the owner, we felt sure we'd find sincerity, trust, and quality service. It was worth every penny, and I wish more places would take it as an example. Many thanks to them 😍
