KestelINN Alaçatı

KestelINN Alaçatı is the smallest house in our Alaçatı selection: just seven rooms in a 19th-century stone mansion on Kemalpaşa Caddesi, the main street of the old town. The Kestelli family opened it to share their love of art, design and the outdoor life. The hotel is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, an international network of small independent luxury hotels, and the MICHELIN Guide lists it in its selection.

An architect's and artists' house

Turkish architect and artist Hakan Ezer designed the seven rooms around a flowering courtyard. He worked with natural materials and earth tones: dark ebonised cabinetry, whitewashed timber panelling, handwoven textiles. Each room is different, bringing together antiques, crafts and original works by Turkish artists.

In the rooms, the hotel provides linen kimonos, organic cotton sheets and towels, lavender-scented sleep masks and homemade snacks.

Cooking from the Ovacık farm

The kitchen follows the seasons. It relies on the Kestelli family farm at nearby Ovacık, which supplies produce year-round, and on local producers. In season, wine tastings are held on the estate. For more of the coast's tables, see our food and dining page.

Wellness and outings

• a small spa with treatments for body and mind;
• an excursion to Ephesus offered by the hotel;
• Ovacık Tarla, a field on the family farm open to guests.

The hotel team works with the Turuncu Association, which fights discrimination and gender-based violence.

Location

The house is at 113 Kemalpaşa Caddesi, in the heart of Alaçatı old town, about 88 km and just over an hour from İzmir airport. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. See our Çeşme and Alaçatı page.
