Safranbolu is a tiny spot, Gulevi is by far the most well-known up-market hotel for expats. The price for a stay was too high, in my opinion, but I don't think it will be lowered due to the positive reviews and reputation they have established.

I worked with Gul and Ibrahim, the wonderful owners of Gulevi, to set up a surprise weekend away for my partner's birthday.

The hotel is a little deceiving because it is actually two restored Ottoman mansions behind each... More

I actually visited the hotel in September 2008 (the menu no longer allows that date), but the memory of this beautiful, peaceful, traditional, tasteful and painstakingly restored Ottoman house and its idyllic garden and separate dining room has remained vivid. The owners were extremely helpful to us, despite our asking complex questions about the area. The breakfasts were a delight.... More
