Camlica Mansion Safranbolu — Hotel in Safranbolu

At the end of our 2 weeks trip in Turkey, my husband and I talked about the best/worst things in our trip. We both put Camlika as one of the best experiences on our trip ! When I think about Camlika, those words comes to mind : kindness, warm atmosphere, enchanting decore, family. ||||The lady and her parents are absolutely charming and hard-working people. The reservation we made at the last minute on booking site was not sent to them and we arrived late (around 8 pm), tired and a bit scared because they live in a quiet campaign like area where there is not a lot of lights at night. The family was eating with family guests and they offered us a warm welcome and invited us to eat with them good authentic turquish food ! Even if we did not understand each other a lot, we just knew with their smiles that we were more then welcome. It was very conforting. ||||The breakfeasts are very good, fresh and traditionnal !||||The best experience for me was being in the 2 beds room (great view at the moutains) and being waked up around 5h00 AM with the muslim call to prayer ! We had the window wide open and could ear it very well and could see the sky filled with stars. I'm not muslim and did not understand any of the words, but the "chantings" echo in the mountains at night is something I'll always remember and feel very lucky to have lived. I highly recommend it !! If you don't want to ear it, close the window ! ;-)||||We ended up staying 2 nights and unlike hotels, we will never forget this place and...

What a wonderful historic experience. This three hundred year old Ottoman style building converted to a boutique hotel is an easy stroll to the old town Safranbolu shopping district, restaurants and museums. This UNISCO building has been fully modernized with bathrooms and heating. Our bed was comfortable and we had instant heat in the shower. ||||The furnishings and rooms stayed true to the Ottoman design with a long bench couch along the wall and intricate wood work on the floors, cabinets along the walls and ceiling. I loved the detail in the molding and the rose carvings in the ceiling. All floors were covered with wonderful Turkish rugs. ||||Our host, Özlem, provides the most delightful local cuisine for breakfast much of which has been prepared and sourced locally. She is also a vibrant person that laughs easily and loves to visit with us. We left early and she prepared a sack breakfast for us as we traveled down the road.||||There are many motels in the area but this one has secure parking for our bicycle. She even has an area to securely park three vehicles, a benefit in this town. Many hotels in Safranbolu do not appear to have even...

My friend and I stayed in this B&B for two days in June. The hostess Ozlem is very capable and busy all day long. She is always smiling and very sincere and friendly, trying her best to meet the guests' requirements. When we asked to borrow a kitchen knife to cut the watermelon, she immediately peeled the watermelon for us, cut it into pieces and put it in a bowl, which made us very grateful. It is a few minutes' walk from the B&B to the city center, which is very convenient for travel. Although the B&B does not have air conditioning, staying here allows you to experience the life of the local people in Safranbolu and feel the strong friendship of the people of Safranbolu. It is worth...
