İda Blue Adatepe

Travelled with my friend and we received a very warm welcome. The grounds of the hotel are gorgeous and beautifully kept. Our room was spacious and tranquil too. The food was wonderful and fresh. Our hosts were very kind to us. The hotel is located in the hills, with a spectacular drive up and it is hidden away, only adding to its serenity. A perfect place to relax after seeing sites around the area.

After a long day of travel from Istanbul ( with stop and a walking tour of Troy archeological site ), arrival at the Ida Blue Hotel at Adatepe was a welcome site. The rooms we were assigned to were basically in a private self contained cottage. They were clean and comfortable. What was unique and refreshing was the rooms had old style room keys (not the modern electronic access card types). I loved it. And it was so quiet and peaceful. The dining was exceptional. I particularly loved the lamb chops for dinner. The staff were friendly and were extremely proud of their herb garden from which they sourced a lot of their herbs for seasoning their cooking. All in all, a wonderful experience and certainly a refreshing stay before continuing our road trip along the Agean Coast.
