Casa Dell'Arte is first of all a home. Twenty-five years ago, Fatoş and Yunus Büyükkuşoğlu discovered Torba, then an unspoilt fishing village, while looking for somewhere to grow old. They built a villa there that is at once a holiday home, a gallery for the art collection gathered over thirty years of travel, and a twelve-suite hotel. The MICHELIN Guide, which lists it, spotted Turkish masterpieces, Fabergé eggs and even a Botero.
Twelve suites, twelve signs
Each suite is named after a sign of the zodiac, and each has its own contemporary Turkish works from the owners' collection. The view is what sets them apart: the garden, the pool or, from the second floor, Torba bay. Our pick is the Sea View Suites, Taurus and Leo, for their furnished terrace facing the bay; a romantic couple may prefer a Dome Suite under its dome, and a longer stay a Duplex Suite, with separate bedroom and living room. Gemini and Pisces are wheelchair-accessible.
The pool, the jetty and the sea
The house has a pool looking over Torba bay and a jetty where guests settle on cushions for the day. The hotel also has its own yacht for trips to the peninsula's coves. The sea is around 23 °C in early June and 26 °C in August.
Cotto Sul Mare
The hotel restaurant, Cotto Sul Mare, is its fine-dining table. See our food and dining page.
Weddings and events
The hotel hosts weddings and receptions.
Location
The hotel is on İsmet İnönü avenue in Torba, on the peninsula's north coast, north-east of Bodrum town. St Peter's Castle and the old town are a short drive away. The nearest airport is Milas-Bodrum. See our Bodrum peninsula page.
Season
The hotel is seasonal; opening dates are confirmed on request. In early June the average high in Bodrum reaches 32 °C; June and September are the most pleasant months.
