Frequently asked questions

Check-in from 2 pm, check-out by noon. If you need an earlier or later time, just ask — when the house is free, we arrange it at no charge.

Once dates and price are agreed on WhatsApp, a 25% deposit confirms your booking; the remaining 75% is paid at check-in. We send the payment details by message.

Cancel 7 or more days before check-in and the deposit is refunded; for later cancellations it is not. For date changes we help subject to availability.

We're sorry, but we can't accept pets. The houses are furnished with antique kilims, timber floors and pieces collected over many years, and we can't make exceptions without risking them. It isn't that we don't love animals — it's the houses. There are boarding kennels around Ayvacık and Assos, and we're happy to point you to one.

The Konak and the Daire have underfloor heating, which warms the stone from below and keeps the whole house at an even temperature even in the coldest months; the Konak also has a working fireplace. The Köy Evi is heated by its wood stove. All three are comfortable in every season. The Konak's pool is not heated — it is never closed, the water simply follows the season.

The pool belongs to the Konak and is used only by its guests. It is not included with the Daire or the Köy Evi — and the rates reflect that. It is not heated, so the water follows the season; it is never closed, and you are welcome to swim whenever you like.

There is no Wi-Fi in the houses. This is a place people come to disconnect; if you need a reliable connection, we'd rather you knew in advance.

In high season (1 June – 31 August and public holidays) a minimum of three nights. Between 1 September and 31 May we accept single nights too, and from three nights the rate drops — further still at six nights or more.

Each house's capacity is listed on its own page. We cannot host above capacity; for infants, just let us know in advance.

Free parking close to the houses inside the village. We send directions and the parking spot on WhatsApp before your arrival.

Each house's page carries a current rate table. The nightly rate is for the whole house, not per person. In high season (1 June – 31 August and public holidays) there is a single rate and a three-night minimum; from 1 September the nightly rate drops the longer you stay. No commission, no service fee, no surprises — what you see is what you pay.

There is a small grocer in the village; for a full shop, Ayvacık town centre is about 20 minutes by car. The pharmacy and health centre are also in Ayvacık.
