Bademli Bahçe Söğüt

I can only echo all the other fantastic reviews on here. We loved our stay at this lovely boutique hotel. The whole place is an oasis of calm and loveliness. Richard and Gulsah are just the best hosts. Happy to recommend restaurants and activities and gladly booked tables for us each evening. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was amazing. Views from the different areas of the garden, especially at subset were beautiful. Recommend wholeheartedly and would stay again if in the area.

We recently spent a blissful week at Bademli Bahçe Otel being splendidly looked after by Richard and Gülşah in their haven of tranquility by the Aegean Sea. With just six comfortable and air conditioned rooms only for adult guests, the hotel is set in a peaceful terraced garden surrounded by almond and olive trees and elevated views across to the Greek islands. Breakfast is a delicious Turkish affair served at tables on a covered terrace. Turkish tea, Turkish cheeses, homegrown olives, sweet tomatoes, yogurt and fruit, bread and honey, eggs and a little surprise dish every morning. What better way to start the day! Richard and Gülşah are charming hosts, both a mine of information about the local area and where to eat well. Restaurant bookings all taken care of with no fuss. A fabulous boat trip recommended and organised for us. Apéritifs in the garden watching the sun go down, good conversation and happy memories created. Top marks from us. We will recommend highly and plan our own return trip soon.

This place was so fantastic the first time we visited, that we asked if we could hold our wedding here……..and Richard and Gülşah did the most amazing job at their most fabulous hotel that we cannot even begin to thank them enough for hosting our wedding. I’ll list what makes it so fantastic by subject so I can organise the jumble of adjectives that are in my head…. The hotel - the rooms are spacious, stylishly designed, spotlessly clean, have amazing views of the sea and balconies to sit and enjoy it…. The beds are super comfortable and the linen is expensive feeling and decadent. The garden - the garden is a myriad of trees and flowering plants that feel like heaven and there are plenty of different comfortable places to sit and enjoy the astonishing view… whether you want to be in the shade under a tree with a cup of tea and a book, in the sun admiring the sunset with a cold beer or by the pool taking in the beautiful turquoise waters and visiting nature. Breakfast - is another highlight of your day….. beautifully presented local breads and traditional dishes, the freshest of ingredients and an awesomely cooked egg by Richard, whichever way you like it! All with another perfect view under the cooling veranda. Service - Richard and Gülşah put a lot of love and care into every guest and are always there with a smile, a delicious drink or some way to help you enjoy your stay. Our wedding - we spent months organising this with both of them and can honestly say, it exceeded all of our expectations…. Their effort, support and limitless desire to help us make the day really special is something you cannot put easily into words… I’ll let the photos speak for themselves… this is truly a special place and we will surely be back as will lots of our wedding guests who have now fallen in love not only with Bademli Bahce but also the area of Turkey and the people there.

A very memorable holiday, with fabulous hosts Richard and Gulsah who have created a perfect property, thought of everything to make your stay truly amazing. Beautiful views, gardens, breakfasts everything about Bademli Bahce is perfect. Richard and Gulsah are so happy to share this wonderful place and go out of their way to make everything special - and it is.

I had high expectations given the reviews and I am happy to say Gulsah and Richard exceeded all of them. Our hosts took the time to get to know us and were therefore able to recommend excellent trips and restaurants. If you want an off the beaten track boat trip go on the Atabey-K boat trip with Tashca & Bozukkale. The boats owners, a lovely couple, took us to a number of dreamy coves to swim in where at times it seemed we were the only boat in the sea. Lunch was fried fish, pasta and salad and tasted wonderful. Breakfast every morning was amazing, from the local cheese and fruit, to Richard's wonderful scrambled eggs or omelettes finished with an ever changing local dish that set you up for the day. If you choose for a relaxing day by the pool (and why wouldn't you) then Gulsah would have prepared another local dish. The stuffed peppers were a particularly favourite along with the brownies and ice cream for dessert. The hotel itself was well thought out for its guests. The pool was perfect for a cooling dip and never busy. Every evening was spent watching the sun setting on the bay with a drink of choice before the short walk into the village for an evening meal. Plenty of choices to eat in all nestled against the sea. If you are trying to decide where to go to enjoy a relaxed stay in the Bozburan Peninsula stop searching, you have found it!

We had a lovely week at Bademli Bahce, everything was delightful : charming surroundings, superb sea views from the balcony of our comfortable bedroom, delicious breakfasts , a great swimming pool where you can do proper lengths, a short walk to many restaurants. The garden is lovely, and the owners, Richard and Gulsah are very friendly and helpful. They booked restaurants for us and gave advice on where to swim. Thank you to both. We recommend Durum Cafe for a chance to swim in crystal clear water.

The concept is simple, clean and calm that comes with quality. This little hotel is great to escape from urban life, to watch the stars at night, to enjoy the garden and the pool dueirng the day. Breakfast and small bites are from local and sometimes from garden’s plants. And all are very delicious. Hospitality is great.
