History
Zara occupies an old house in Göreme, inside the national park. A local family spent five years, from 2014 to 2019, turning it into a hotel and keeping the rock-cut rooms. Seventeen rooms now share the building, cave rooms and natural stone rooms, a few of them with a jacuzzi. Four terraces face the valley for the morning balloons. The plus-ten on the door means adults only. You sleep in the tuff.
The setting
The hotel sits a few minutes uphill from the center of Göreme, close to the bus stop, the cafes, and the shops, and inside Göreme National Park. The Open-Air Museum, the valley of painted rock churches, is about a kilometre and a half away. Love Valley and Uçhisar Castle are short drives. The balloons launch over the village at sunrise, which is why the terraces face the way they do.
