This home is in a fabulous location high above Trabzon with breathtaking views. My friend and I felt like we’d entered a Goldilocks fairytale for it seemed the owner had just popped out leaving the cottage relaxed and basically clean and tidy. Far from being an anonymous space it is very much a home which clearly belongs to a very interesting family. This charming wooden building is full of traditional Turkish artefacts, some great reading matter and many fascinating photos. If you’re looking for somewhere neutral and sterile this one is not for you but if you want real rural Turkey you will not be disappointed summer or winter. The sitting room stove will keep you warm, there’s plentiful chopped wood and the owner is a kind and extremely helpful man.
