Terrace Houses Sirince<br />

Turkey | Cottages<br />

Tucked away in the heart of the Aegean is the picturesque, hilly village of Sirince. This<br />

quaint hamlet, located only 15 minutes from the magnificent site of Ephesus, boasts<br />

a quirky past, diverse heritage, welcoming local community, thriving agrotourism<br />

industry, and beautifully-restored traditional cottages. With Terrace Houses<br />

Sirince, you now have the perfect opportunity to stay in one of these wonderful,<br />

traditional homes.<br />

Through hard work, passion, and belief, owners Omer and Charlotte Samli have<br />

succeeded in restoring four cottages back to their former glory. The Fig House,<br />

Olive House, Grapevine House, and the Clockmaker’s Cottage are all elegant,<br />

spacious, and fully equipped. All four can be booked in their entirety, with the<br />

Clockmaker’s Cottage also available as two self-contained units.<br />

Fig House is a charming 19 th century home that was brought back from<br />

the brink. It can sleep up to six in two bedrooms and a living room sofa<br />

bed. It comes with one bathroom, a sun terrace, a lovely outdoor<br />

garden, a fireplace, and outdoor dining furniture.<br />

Olive House, on the other hand, is located in the heart of the<br />

village and is closer to local shops and restaurants. This<br />

house exudes elegance and what it lacks in outdoor<br />

space it makes it for in indoor living. Guests can expect<br />

a limestone bathroom, separate walk-in shower, cosy<br />

Sedir seating, and beautiful views of the village.<br />

The Grapevine House, new as of 2021, is the largest of the three<br />

houses. It can accommodate up to six in two bedrooms and<br />

the living room. The bedrooms are ensuite, expansive, and offer<br />

fantastic views. This house was designed with rustic Turkish<br />

design and craftsmanship in mind, which shows at every level<br />

of the property.<br />

Finally, there’s the Clockmaker’s Cottage which, as the name<br />

suggests, was once the home of the village clock specialist.<br />

Rebuilt from almost complete ruin, this cottage is split into<br />

two parts. There’s the Hamam Suite on the ground floor and<br />

then the Harem Suite above, the interior styles of which are<br />

inspired by Ottoman design. Both suites can accommodate two<br />

and are ideally suited for couples who wish to be in the same<br />

accommodation but have their own private suites.<br />

A daily complimentary breakfast is included as part of the stay<br />

and is served at the famed local Terrace Café. The breakfast is<br />

home-made using only locally-sourced and fresh ingredients.<br />

Guests can also purchase food and snacks throughout the<br />

day as well pre-booked evening meals. The café is open all day<br />

during the spring and summer months serving delicious Turkish<br />

delicacies.<br />
