This was one of the best stays of our trip! The hotel is an antique ottoman mansion, right in the center of the small town of Karacasu, near Aphrodisias archaeological site. We were very well greeted by Mr. Emin, a former school teacher and the hotel owner, who was friendly and sensitive to all of our needs. We arrived in the night, very hungry from our road trip, and he promptly recommended a nearby pide restaurant (whose staff he knew by name, as well!). The mansion is beautiful. You can feel the history pouring out of the walls, the (very well-preserved!) mobilia, as well as the 300 year-old room doors (!!!). Mr. Emin is clearly in love with this house in which he spent his childhood. Even though it is an old mansion, every modern addition worked perfectly - from the air conditioning, to the hot showers, to the internet connection. But the best thing about our stay was the breakfast. Everything was fresh and locally made. Mr. Emin told us the butter and the helva were made on his own farm. We literally ate everything, to the crumb. What also made it most special was Mr. Emin's friendliness and nice chat. The night before, having noticed Mr. Emin's love for history, we asked for books he could recommend about the history of Turkey; in the morning, he told us he had contacted a fellow history teacher and brought us a full list of books, from pre-historical to modern day Turkey! It was amazing, and we are very grateful for our stay there.

The Elmas Pansiyon was simple but charming. The family were helpful and smiling and we felt at home immediately. It is in a perfect location to visit Aphrodisias by car and the restaurant offered excellent food at reasonable prices for breakfast and dinner. We slept very well and the WiFi was fast and reliable. We would stay again if we are in the area.

Wonderful hospitality at this boutique hotel. A relaxed and welcoming atmosphere in the village of Geyre. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, delicious and huge homemade breakfast from locally sourced ingredients. I recommend eating dinner at the restaurant as well- it’s a beautiful traditional space, the food is superb, sometimes there is live traditional music.
