Truly a diamond in the rough of the valley, the Gamirasu Cave Hotel Urgup is a welcome lesson in the simpler things in life. Gamirasu is the name of an exquisitely restored eighteen-room troglodyte cave house, in Ayvali Village near Urgup in the heart of Cappadocia. The hotel is located in a restored thousand-year-old Byzantine monastic retreat that offers modern conveniences without distracting from the spiritual feeling of the area. The hotel is a combination of seven old houses with eighteen guestrooms, exquisitely restored and combined.
