Every aspect of our stay at Seraphim Cave was a 10/10! The hotel itself is magnificent — beautiful, spotless rooms and stunning common spaces with lush landscaping and peaceful ambience. Fatima, Servet, Gabil, and Mustafa provided everything to make our stay comfortable, even working with us before we arrived to help arrange our activities (special thanks to Fatima for this!). The hamam services were also spectacular; I don't think I have ever been more relaxed in my life! The food was incredible. The included Turkish breakfast was the best we had on our whole trip. The local wines and liquers were delightful, and dinner featured beautifully plated dishes that were both elevated and down-to-earth (the erişte reminded me of my mother's cooking). The dining experience itself was phenomenal — Murat and Sedat manage the on-site restaurant Tasula with warmth, grace, and professionalism. We happened to visit when the owner himself was staying with his family, and he not only sent us wine and lamb kabobs (which were fantastic), but also came over to introduce himself to us personally. Don’t be deterred by Seraphim’s location outside the tourist hubs of Göreme and Ürgüp. In fact, if you’re looking for authentic Turkish hospitality and a serene escape away from the crowds while you explore Cappadocia, this is the perfect spot.
