When we began building Eka Cave Maison, our intention was never simply to create a hotel. Our goal was to shape a living space—one that respects the memory of stone, embraces patience and craftsmanship, and exists in harmony with the silence of Cappadocia.

There are many hotels in Cappadocia. Eka Cave Maison, however, was not born as an investment project. It is the natural outcome of years of experience, a personal journey, and true family dedication. For us, this place is not a business—it is a home that welcomes its guests.

After living in France for many years, I made the decision to return to the land where I was born. I wanted to present Cappadocia not merely as a touristic destination, but as a living culture—rooted in village life, local production, and human connection. As a professional tour guide, I combined my knowledge and experience with my husband’s background in historical restoration to bring this vision to life.

My husband spent many years working on the restoration of historical structures throughout Cappadocia. He understands stone, feels texture, and knows what should never be rushed. Every wall, arch, and detail of Eka Cave Maison reflects this respect and expertise. Nothing here was selected from a catalog; no element was added “just to fill a space.”

Our hotel consists of only five rooms. We chose balance over crowds. Each room is entirely unique, with its own character. Wall-mounted, legless beds; double showers; fireplaces; and the natural texture of cave architecture—all carefully curated. Yet what truly matters is how these spaces make you feel. Here, time slows down, noise fades away, and the mind becomes clear.

Eka Cave Maison is located within a real village, far from Cappadocia’s touristic crowds. You wake up to the sound of roosters, see local farmers at work, and feel the rhythm of everyday rural life. And yet, all major landmarks of Cappadocia remain easily accessible. This balance was a conscious choice: absolute tranquility without isolation.

What we offer our guests goes beyond accommodation. Those who wish may take part in village life, discover local production, witness traditional tandır cooking, and experience the culinary culture of Cappadocia. For others, Eka Cave Maison is simply a sanctuary—a place to rest, disconnect, and be alone with oneself.

For us, luxury is not about extravagance, but about quality within simplicity. For us, hospitality is not a service, but a genuine exchange. For us, Cappadocia is not a landscape, but a living heritage.

Eka Cave Maison was created with this philosophy. And with every guest, this story grows deeper.

For those who wish to truly feel Cappadocia, a hidden address within silence…

Eka Cave Maison | Une histoire de silence et de savoir-faire en Cappadoce

Situé dans un village calme et paisible de la Cappadoce, loin de la foule, Eka Cave Maison est un hôtel troglodyte de charme, intime et exclusif, qui ne compte que cinq chambres. Il offre à ses hôtes une véritable sensation de sérénité et de confidentialité. Plus qu’un simple lieu d’hébergement, c’est une histoire de vie construite avec passion, patience et un travail minutieux.

L’hôtel est géré par une femme d’origine turque, de nationalité française. Elle a vécu de nombreuses années en France, où elle a effectué l’ensemble de sa scolarité — collège, lycée et université. Elle est ensuite revenue sur ses terres natales, en Cappadoce, pour y suivre une deuxième formation universitaire en guidage touristique. Aujourd’hui, elle exerce activement comme guide touristique professionnelle en français et en espagnol dans la région, et parle également l’anglais à un niveau intermédiaire. Ce parcours multiculturel apporte à l’hospitalité d’Eka Cave Maison une profondeur élégante et intellectuelle.

Son époux, quant à lui, a travaillé pendant de longues années en Cappadoce dans la restauration de bâtiments historiques, ainsi que dans les domaines des installations mécaniques, du chauffage et des systèmes de radiateurs. Il a participé à la restauration de nombreux monuments et structures historiques de la région. Forts de cette expérience et réunis autour du rêve de son épouse, ils ont pris ensemble la décision de créer leur propre hôtel troglodyte de charme composé de cinq chambres.

Ce qui rend Eka Cave Maison véritablement unique, c’est que presque chaque détail de l’hôtel a été réalisé par la famille elle-même, avec un soin extrême, une grande patience et une sensibilité remarquable. Rien n’a été fait dans la précipitation, et aucun détail n’a été laissé au hasard.

Chaque chambre est totalement différente, conçue autour d’un concept troglodyte unique et original. Toutes les chambres disposent de :

Lits XXL suspendus et fixés au mur, sans pieds (190 × 200 cm)

Double douche et double vasque

Cheminée

Un haut niveau de confort et des détails esthétiques raffinés

Les chambres ont été pensées dans un esprit à la fois mystique, romantique et professionnel, afin de créer des espaces qui apaisent autant le corps que l’esprit.

Bien que l’hôtel soit situé dans l’un des endroits les plus paisibles de la Cappadoce, le musée en plein air de Göreme — considéré comme l’un des points centraux les plus éloignés de la région — se trouve à seulement environ 35 minutes en voiture. Il est ainsi possible de profiter du calme absolu tout en restant facilement accessible aux sites majeurs de la Cappadoce.

Eka Cave Maison s’adresse aux voyageurs qui souhaitent ressentir la véritable âme de la Cappadoce, loin de la foule, du bruit et de la circulation, en quête d’une expérience authentique, paisible et profonde.

Located in a quiet and peaceful village of Cappadocia, far from the crowds, Eka Cave Maison is an intimate boutique cave hotel with only five rooms, offering its guests a true sense of tranquility and privacy. More than a place to stay, it is a life story built with dedication, patience, and genuine effort.

The hotel is managed by a woman of Turkish origin who is a French citizen. She lived in France for many years, completing her middle school, high school, and university education there. She later returned to her homeland—Cappadocia—where she pursued a second university degree in Tourist Guiding. Today, she works actively in the region as a professional French- and Spanish-speaking tour guide and also speaks English at an intermediate level. This multicultural background adds an elegant intellectual depth to the hospitality offered at Eka Cave Maison.

Her husband has spent many years in Cappadocia working professionally in the restoration of historical buildings, as well as in mechanical installations, heating, and radiator systems. He has taken part in the restoration of numerous historical structures throughout the region. With years of experience and craftsmanship, and united by his wife’s vision, they made a shared decision to build their own five-room boutique cave hotel.

What makes Eka Cave Maison truly enchanting is that almost every detail of the hotel has been created by the family themselves—carefully, patiently, and with great sensitivity. Nothing here was rushed, and no detail was left to chance.

Each room is entirely unique, designed with its own distinctive cave concept. All rooms feature:

Wall-mounted, legless XXL beds (190 × 200 cm)

Double showers and double washbasins

A fireplace

High-level comfort and refined aesthetic details

The rooms are conceived with a mystical, romantic, and professional design approach, creating spaces that soothe both the body and the soul.

Although the hotel is located in one of the quietest areas of Cappadocia, even the Göreme Open-Air Museum—considered one of the farthest central points of the region—is only about a 35-minute drive away. Guests can enjoy complete serenity without sacrificing easy access to Cappadocia’s most important sites.

Eka Cave Maison is created for guests who wish to experience the true spirit of Cappadocia— far from crowds, noise, and traffic, seeking authenticity, peace, and a profound sense of place.
