beautiful boutique hotel a short taxi/bus journey to Ephesus. ideal for a romantic getaway but also adequate for families (we travelled as a couple with a 3 month old baby and a 3 year old) if you prefer a small quiet hotel rather than a resort. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel sits on a hill adjacent to Selcuk and has a beautiful view over the town. walking up and down is possible if you don’t mind the incline/decline. public bus into the town run every 20mins or so and cost 5tl per adult. taxi is 30tl. We stayed for 7 nights and used the hotel as a base to travel to Ephesus, Izmir (1 hour away and 800tl on taxi meter) and Kusadasi (20mins away). The room with the spa bath is huge with a nice view over Selcuk. we ended up not booking the room due to travelling with young children, but it would be worth the upgrade if travelling as a couple.

no English language restaurant menu. not many sun loungers

It's one of those travel mistakes I made that turned into magic. I booked Vinifera Ephesus Hotel but my map app took me to its sister hotel Vinifera Vineyards Hotel instead. We arrived late in the evening and I was very upset to have taken us to the wrong property. The manager, Sergun, changed our evening with her calming and warm hospitality. She told us that she can help us to change the reservation to her property if we wish to stay. She worked everything out with the sister property while we enjoyed their 5-star restaurant with amazing food and wines.

The property sits on a beautiful vineyard but the rooms are very basic.

It’s very Greek themed! Kind of on top of the hill in Selçuk and secluded (which could be a con for some) but it’s easy to get a taxi or walk 1km into town. Amenities were nice. It’s a nice aesthetic.

Again, it’s a little secluded so just be mindful of that if it will impact your plans.

Our stay was made great due to the wonderful staff at the hotel. The breakfast manager/server Atnan really did make our stay. He gave us perfect professional service, helped plan our first and only full day and Ephesus and gave us a lot of history of the area and pointed out some places in town for us to take care of some other business we had. Oh, and the Turkish Breakfast he served us was amazing! The night host/server was also great and very positive and did a great job as well. The Check-in guy with lots of hair did a good job as well checking us in and explaining things about the area, maybe just have him clean himself up a little to present a little more professional, haha.

Cons: The room did have a smell in the bathroom which might be due to either the toilet bowl cleaner beside the toilet or the drain, not sure which but the smell is not pleasant. There is not a single iron in the whole hotel, buy a couple new irons for the hotel, that's an easy purchase. The patio furniture by the pool is wrecked with bird poop all over it and so was our window and balcony of the room, I'd have this cleaned/fixed immediately.

It is a beautiful hotel. Attention to detail in the decor. The staff was extremely nice. The WiFi was OK. (The best I had in Turkey) The breakfast was nice and huge. It is cheap to take the taxi to the city center. Room was very big. Enough closet space. Shower pressure was very good.

The room had not been used for a while and had not been freshened and there was a bit of dust. It took about a day and a half to warm up the room. A bit far from Ephesus, and no restaurants around (except the hotel one). Room too bright to sleep well in the morning. Toilet brush was very dirty.

The property, room, and views were all gorgeous!! We really loved the Turkish bath in our room and the full closet setup to hang up our clothes. If you eat at the restaurant, definitely try the curry chicken. It was probably my favorite meal in all of Turkey. I really loved the mythology theme to the hotel and the view of town at night was beautiful. It was such a great stay!

It's up a large hill, so either taxi or expect a tough walk back to the hotel. That doesn't bother me at all, but just keep it in mind. It makes the views and sunsets worth it!

The breakfast was delicious and the hotel was absolutely beautiful. It felt like it was a little understaffed but maybe because we arrived at the beginning of the season.

The restaurant was closed which was a shame v- although still serving breakfast

Gorgeous hotel on a hill overlooking the valley. You can tell they put a lot of effort into all the details to make it beautiful. Very quiet with good sound insulation. The staff is great. Adnan specifically is wonderful with so much hospitality and generosity. The breakfast is amazing and in a beautiful courtyard. We had dinner in the beautiful glass restaurant and it was absolutely delicious and at a great price quality ratio! Highly recommended!

Everything was perfect!

Location of the hotel is perfect with fantastic view on entire Ephesus. Rooms are very nice and comfortable.

There is served breakfast which could be served faster as it took approx 30-40 mins to bring few meals to our group.

Very good set breakfast with variety of choice, very tasty and good location of eating area. Abundance of tea and coffee. The staff was very helpful and even filled our thermos with tea after I've butchered some Turkish words. The room has a good size bathroom and the place is very clean. Necessary toiletries are included. Very nice interior design, it sets the mood when visiting Ephesus. Nice view from the room.
