Taskonaklar Hotel: An Intimate Escape Overlooking Uchisar and Pigeon Valley
Taskonaklar Hotel is located in the moonlike Cappadocia National Park, perched in Uçhisar—the region’s most picturesque hilltop village—just 40 minutes from Nevsehir Cappadocia Airport. From its stone terraces and gardens, the valley unfurls in widescreen: soft tufa cliffs, distant fairy chimneys, and at dawn the quiet ascent of hot-air balloons drifting across Pigeon Valley. Step beyond the gate and you’re moments from Uçhisar’s winding lanes, tiny galleries and a clutch of exceptional restaurants within easy walking distance; linger awhile and the light itself becomes part of the experience, shifting across the land as if painting it anew.
Family-owned and run, Taskonaklar is a 25-room boutique hotel brimming with character—an elegant, restful place that lives by the motto “Luxury with a touch of family.” Rather than impose, it settles into the hillside with a gardener’s care: stone courtyards scented by herbs, quiet corners for reading, broad terraces made for watching the day unspool. It is intimate without ever feeling small, a sanctuary that opens naturally to the village and the valleys beyond.
Rooms and suites are individual by design, shaped by the contours of the rock and the rhythm of the view. Some are cave-hewn and cocooning; others are bright, with fireplaces for cool evenings and wide balconies or terraces for long, sunlit mornings. A handful come with private hot tubs that look straight out over Pigeon Valley, the perfect stage for balloon-streaked sunrises and star-dusted nights. Everywhere, materials feel honest and tactile—plaster, timber, linen—so the landscape remains the true decoration.
Dining at Moniq Restaurant & Cocktail Bar is a gentle journey through Cappadocia’s culinary heritage, where seasonal produce and time-honoured recipes are treated with quiet confidence. The hotel’s private experiences add a sense of theatre: a candlelit dinner in an 800-year-old cave, a chef-led barbecue in the valley, a sunrise breakfast laid beneath a sky crossed by balloons. Transfers in the classic Land Rover Defender give these moments the feel of a small adventure—unhurried, perfectly pitched, and deeply memorable. Back at the hotel, wine tastings paired with Anatolian cheeses invite you to linger a little longer over the flavours of the land.
Taskonaklar is also a Residence of Creation. Since 2022, its A.R.C. artist residency programme has welcomed painters, writers and makers from around the world, offering time and space to work within Cappadocia’s otherworldly setting. That spirit of thoughtful creativity threads through the guest experience, too; the hotel feels curated but never contrived, as if shaped by the landscape itself.
Practicalities are pleasingly simple. Nevşehir Cappadocia Airport is the closest gateway (about 40 minutes), while Kayseri Airport sits a little further east (around 75 minutes) with wider domestic connections. High season runs from April to the end of October; June–August brings heat (around 33–36°C), while January and February can be crisp and crystalline (down to –10/–15°C). Each season has its own temperament—spring’s tender light, summer’s long evenings, autumn’s clarity—yet the mood here is constant: unhurried, generous, quietly extraordinary.
Many of our guests choose to experience Cappadocia with Discerning Collection as part of a tailor-made itinerary, pairing these valleys with Istanbul or a few restorative days on the Turkish coast. Cappadocia also rewards a visit in isolation, of course; the region is vast and varied, and we almost always recommend utilising our private guiding service, a vehicle and driver, and a personalised plan. It’s the surest way to uncover both the celebrated highlights and the quiet, starlit corners that make this place linger in the memory long after you’ve flown home.

Facilities & Services at Taskonaklar
Dining
At Taskonaklar, dining is a journey into Cappadocia’s rich culinary heritage. The hotel’s signature Moniq Restaurant & Cocktail Bar serves dishes inspired by the region’s traditions, crafted with seasonal produce and local flavours. Expect authentic Anatolian recipes reimagined with modern elegance, perfectly complemented by Cappadocia’s renowned wines and creative cocktails. Breakfast is served à la carte with sweeping views over Pigeon Valley, while evenings bring the chance to linger over beautifully paired menus in a warm, convivial setting.
The Bar
Whether it’s a glass of Cappadocia’s bold, mineral-rich wine or a cocktail infused with local fruits and herbs, drinks at Taskonaklar are designed to celebrate the region. Served at Moniq, on a private terrace, or overlooking the valley, every sip feels rooted in place.
Terraces & Gardens
With its peaceful gardens and terraces carved into the hillside, Taskonaklar opens onto some of the most enchanting panoramas in Cappadocia. It’s a setting that invites both stillness and spectacle — where morning light catches the balloons rising above the valley, and evenings dissolve into wide Cappadocian skies.

Call our expert team to utilise their enthusiasm and knowledge- they will be happy to arrange a specific itinerary, transport, guide and excursions.
Inspiration- Our regions and properties
Bodrum
Once a small fishing village, enigmatic Bodrum is a thriving destination offering beautiful beaches and chi-chi beach clubs, a sophisticated and authentic array of bars and restaurants together with a fascinating historical and cultural scene; including a 15th Century castle and architecturally interesting buildings.
Sianji Hotel and Well-Being Resort
Gocek and Fethiye
The unassuming beauty of the Gulf of Fethiye & Göcek region is accentuated by its accessibility from the airport: just 20 minutes’ drive to Göcek harbour from Dalaman, which brings you straight into the heart of chichi coastal Turkey. It’s another 40 minutes to downtown Fethiye, a lively, working town with a gentrified seafront and one of the finest harbours on the entire coast. Both provide easy access to an archipelago of twelve islands, crystal clear waters and beneficent winds which make for wonderful sailing. Flanked by dramatic, pine-covered mountains and not a high-rise in site, their waterfront settings are exceptional. Beyond the two harbour towns an array of sandy beaches await, including some of Turkey’s best-known (Ölü Deniz) and less discovered finds such as Kabak and Kidrak.
Kalkan
Kalkan is a picturesque harbour town set in a vast horseshoe bay, flanked by a rocky mountainous backdrop. Villa Quintessentially pretty, it’s optimum features include cobbled narrow passageways and colourful Greek houses with low hanging bougainvillea clad balconies. The bustling café culture and artisan boutiques allow for long lingering lunches, followed by a mooch in search of artisan leather goods, fine jewellery and super stylish textiles. Kalkan has an excellent selection of serviced beach clubs which ring the bay making it easy to spend time chilling by the water’s edge. All have a laid back barefoot vibe, most with waiter service and each offering a slightly different experience. Just up the road, Patara is a favourite for all, this long stretch of golden sand will appeal to little people longing to build a sandcastle or two and the breeze makes the intense peak summer heat more endurable. Beyond the dunes sits the ancient Lycian site of Patara which was once an important trading port and the supposed birthplace of St Nicholas.
Kas
The Kas Peninsula is a wonderful setting for a holiday: the views across the blue sea to the Greek island of Meis are spectacular and the land slopes down to the rocky coastline where swimming platforms let you plunge straight into the crystal clear water.
Kas is perhaps a little like the ‘big brother’ of Kalkan. Like Kalkan, it has an attractive harbour and winding cobbled streets climbing a hillside. It has a slightly bohemian feel, attracting a range of visitors of different nationalities and ages. The town has a wonderful selection of shops and restaurants, many with charming roof terraces with views over the square and harbour front.
The Bozburun and Datça Peninsula
The Bozburun and Datça peninsula’s have a distinctly Greek feel which sets them apart from the rest of coastal Turkey. This is partly because of their proximity to the Greek Southern Dodecanese ring and the island of Symi is just five miles across the strait. Along the roadside is the waft of drying thyme, rosemary and sage as men twiddle worry beads sipping endless cups of Turkish tea. The area is known for its thyme-scented honey which is sold by the roadside.
Istanbul
Istanbul is a spectacular city that you will never tire of. Steeped in ancient history, today it is a café society with a minaret-lined skyline, a confluence of ancient tradition and contemporary delights. It bemuses and amuses in equal measure. The city famously straddles – both geographically and philosophically – Europe and Asia and stimulates every visitor with a melange of the exotic and familiar. Its geographical position alone – at the neck of trading routes between the Mediterranean and Africa – has afforded the city an important trading position since the Byzantine era. And the Golden Horn, nestling within the city, is one of the world’s finest natural harbours.
Cappadocia
The Cappadocia National Park region covers over 24,000 square kilometres with a distinct and highly unusual landscape. The valley of Fairy Chimneys is the most popular area, roughly within the triangle formed by the three main towns of the region, Avanos, Urgup and Nevsehir. There’s really no adequate way of conveying the surreal moonscape- the enormity of the skies and awe-inspiring geology is something that can only be truly appreciated in person.

How To Enjoy Cappadocia
Private Guided Itineraries – Do I need a private guide?
Cappadocia’s surreal landscapes and rich cultural tapestry reward those who delve deeper. To truly unlock the secrets of this astonishing geological landscape, The Discerning Collection highly recommends the expertise of a private guide. A tailored itinerary ensures that your experience is crafted around your interests, whether that be history, archaeology, religion, adventure, or an immersive combination of all. Your guide will not only navigate the region’s must-see wonders but also unveil its hidden corners, revealing less-known cave dwellings, secluded valleys, and off-the-beaten-track sites far removed from the usual tourist trail.
While private guiding is included in our prices, independent exploration is entirely possible, and we offer a reduced rate should you prefer to hire a car or explore under your own steam. Our guides suggest finalising each day’s itinerary over breakfast, allowing for spontaneity and adjustments as you wish.
How Long Should I Stay in Cappadocia?
A fleeting two- or three-night visit will grant you a glimpse of Cappadocia’s otherworldly landscapes and UNESCO-listed treasures, but to truly connect and uncover this region, we recommend at least five days. This allows time to discover its enigmatic underground cities, embark on many scenic treks, and experience the magic of sunrise ballooning, or horse riding without feeling rushed and enjoying the stunning hotel.
Cappadocia is easily accessible from the UK, with scheduled flights from many major UK airports operating almost daily to Kayseri and Nevsehir via Istanbul.
Hot Air Ballooning – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience
Drifting silently above Cappadocia’s vast, otherworldly landscapes at sunrise is an experience like no other. From your bird’s-eye vantage point, watch as the valleys unfold beneath you—weaving between towering fairy chimneys, ancient cave dwellings, and undulating canyons.
As balloon flights are weather-dependent and operate only when conditions meet air traffic control regulations, we strongly recommend booking in advance. For the best chance of flying, schedule your experience for the morning after arrival, ensuring an additional opportunity should conditions prevent the balloons flying on your first attempt.
Trekking, Mountain Biking & Horse Riding
Cappadocia’s awe-inspring terrain lends itself to a plethora of outdoor activities. Trekking trails wind through hidden valleys, past frescoed cave churches and striking volcanic formations, offering vistas that feel almost untouched by time.
For a faster pace, mountain biking allows you to weave through scenic gorges and open plateaus, while horse riding offers a more traditional approach—the region is, after all, known as the “Land of Beautiful Horses.” A reputable local riding school caters to all levels, from gentle hacks for beginners to overnight expeditions for experienced equestrians.
Historic & Religious Sightseeing
Cappadocia’s history is etched into its landscapes, where every valley, cave, and rock-hewn dwelling tells a story of faith, resilience, and survival. Descend into the labyrinthine depths of Kaymaklı’s underground cities, where entire civilisations once sought refuge, or step inside hidden cave churches, their ancient frescoes whispering the legacy of early Christianity.
The region’s open-air museums and monastic settlements offer a captivating window into centuries of devotion and ingenuity. The main towns—Avanos, Ürgüp, Göreme, Uçhisar, and Nevşehir—serve as gateways to a wealth of historic sites, each revealing a different facet of Cappadocia’s UNESCO-listed heritage.
Beyond its storied past, Cappadocia transforms with the seasons. Trek through meadows blanketed in wild poppies come spring, savour the orchards heavy with fruit in summer, admire the russet glow of autumn’s vineyards, and embrace the silent magic of snow-draped valleys in winter. Whatever the time of year, this extraordinary landscape remains a place of awe, wonder, and discovery.
Botany, Ornithology & Painting
A haven for botanists and birdwatchers alike, Cappadocia is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, thriving amid its unique geological formations. The region’s ethereal light and dramatic landscapes have also drawn artists for centuries, with many choosing to settle here, inspired by its shifting hues and striking contrasts.
Whether capturing the scene with a brushstroke or a camera lens, Cappadocia’s natural beauty is an artist’s muse.
