The Best Small Hotels of Turkey

LAVANTA HOTEL

The view is marvelous, the rooms luxurious and the breakfast excellent. But what prompted nearly a dozen correspondents to write to us was that it has something more than that. Lavanta offers the unique experience of feeling like the personal guests of Tosun and Maria Merey, the charming and hospitable owners.

small_ho_room.jpg (11617 bytes)small_ho_detail.jpg (8962 bytes)Tosun, Maria and family spent many years living in various countries around the world. The concept of Lavanta started as a private luxurious home in which to enjoy an early retirement, once fired with enthusiasm however they ended up converting acres of unspoilt hillside into a comfortable and spacious retreat.

With his lovely wife Maria, guests are offered not just an excellent kitchen but all the attention to detail that turns a good hotel into an extraordinary one. Each room is individually and uniquely furnished, standing a notch or two above the usual 5-star standard. Internet access.


*Turkey FODOR’S

 “Surrounded by well maintained grounds on a hillside overlooking the Bodrum peninsula just outside the village of Yalikavak, the Lavanta is a tranquil, distinguished retreat in an area where many hotels  are bland and geared to package tourism. All of the attractive rooms overlook the sea from private terraces and are furnished with tasteful traditional pieces and antiques the owners, Tosun and Maria Merey, have collected from around the world.”

YALIKAVAK
11m from Bodrum on the north-west coast, this small market-town  complete with old wind mills and a small marina, is still unspoiled and picturesque.”


Marco Polo

”Lavanta Hotel 
A highly recommended small hotel with rooms decorated in exquisite taste, distributed in 5 villas. The Hotel has a magnificent view overlooking the Bay of Yalikavak. 8 rooms.”


 

POLIGLOTT

 

“The quiet and beautiful location has a wonderful sea view. A large swimming-pool  next to the house and a wine cellar are part of the charm.”

 

Poliglott, Turkish  Coast

“Small but charming: The... hotel is situated in extensive gardens outside of the village. The 8 rooms all have own terrace with sea view and are decorated with exclusive antiques and carpets.”

 


MERIAN Live, Türkei Westküste

"Tosun and Maria Merey realized their dream in 1997 with Lavanta. On the hillside overlooking the sea everything is perfect from the wine cellar to the ambience"


DUMONT EXTRA, Bodrum  & Marmaris

"No doubt this hotel belongs to the 10 prettiest hotels of Turkey. It is in a beautiful secluded position on a hill with sea view. Stone walls, old marble features and glazed tiles underline the atmosphere overall. All rooms are individually decorated with wood  motifs, Turkish rugs, wrought-iron: in the library one feels like the guest of Captain Nemo himself. There is even a stone oven for bread and an excellent wine-cellar.”
