Kayadam Cave House
Urgup
The Kayadam Cave House
is an old residence carved centuries ago. Until 1997, the house was always occupied by farmers, but only two of
its parts were still used as housing, the others acting of attics, stables or furnaces. The restoration, undertaken
in 1997, made it possible to clean the rock oxidised or blackened by smoke and to clear certain parts filled with
soil over the centuries. The structure was also consolidated:certain vaults were dismounted and rebuilt by original
stones. The restoration continues, attempting to respect original construction while trying to create an authentic
place as well as a pleasant life. in addition to the common parts, five rooms are restored : they each include
a bathroom and a terrace, as well as acces to the garden. Exposed to the south, they profit from a good luminosity,
but their construction in the rock preserves them at the sametime from strong heat.Return to Turkey Hotel Index
