Rose Apart | Apartment in Sarigerme, Mugla

Positive: very useful host

Negative: its remote location and there were no microwave

Positive: The owner Süleyman was very friendly and helpful.

Negative: Everything was spot on.

Positive: We spent two weeks here and were genuinely happy that we chose Rose Apart. The owner, Suleiman, is one of the kindest hosts we have ever met. He is always happy to help, but never intrusive. During our entire stay he completely respected our privacy, yet every time we had a question or needed help he responded immediately. Before our flight he even helped us arrange a taxi at the last minute, which we really appreciated. The first thing we noticed about the hotel was how peaceful it is. It is quiet, surrounded by greenery, clean and very relaxing. The rooms are spacious, bright and comfortable. We had everything for cooking like a kettle, a pan, kitchen utensils and so on. The garden is beautiful and full of flowers and greenery. There are lemon trees growing right in the courtyard, which gives the whole place a lovely atmosphere. A neatly mowed lawn is great for small kids who want to play and run around. Everything you need is within easy walking distance. There is a small shop just around the corner, and the centre of Sarıgerme with its restaurants and cafés is only about a 7-minute walk away. It would take around 15 minutes to reach the sea on foot. Because the hotel is surrounded by nature, we saw things we had never expected. During our stay we came across turtles, a hedgehog, lots of birds and even a firefly. It made our holiday feel even more special. This is the kind of hospitality that cannot be taught. It feels genuine. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. We will remember our time in Sarıgerme with great warmth, and if we come back one day, we would be very happy to stay here again.

Negative: Well, there was nothing which I would not like but for a few days, there were a few blue vosp-like insects coming through the ventilation. They were annoying but not dangerous and were trying to leave the room through the balcony. As soon as we opened the door they would leave.

Positive: Able to wash clothes

Negative: We use the same sheets for 10 days

Positive: The beach and shops are close by. There's no street noise at all, even though a busy street with karaoke, bars, and shops is located nearby. The host was hospitable and quickly resolved any queries that arose. Cozy gardens with fruit trees and seating areas front and back of the apartment. The apartment is cool; even in summer, we rarely turned on the air conditioning.

Negative: All's perfect!

Positive: Very basic apartament, but spacious and bright, with good energy, it is a pleasure to be there. Beautiful mountain views from the balcony , very peaceful. Real countryside feel- roosters and hens nearby; you can hear crickets in the evening. Very relaxing atmosphere. 10 min walk to a very good beach and all the shops

Negative: The owner could put new curtains, preferably the ones that don't allow daylight through, as it was very bright even at night. And in the morning the sun wakes you up very early. Also, there were no warmer blankets in the room, so it got quite cold during the night. The first night we had to sleep in our jumpers . Literally nowhere to put all your makeup and toiletries in the bathroom, so had to put them on the bathroom floor Not enough cups in the room, so had to buy 2 cups ourselves, also no tea towels ( had to use normal bathroom towel, and that is not very hygienic, obviously ) To sum up: beautiful peaceful location , especially if you live in a big noisy city and just want to get away and recharge in a place of quietness and tranquility. Also great for pensioners. Not suitable for the young and energetic, as Sarigerme is very small with literally nowhere to go and nothing to do. The owner is very friendly and lives in the apartment on the top floor. Seems to speak some English, that is rare around coastal Turkey as we learned from our travel experience) To the owner ( recommendations about what to improve ): 1. Change curtains 2.Put a few shelves in the bathroom to put makeup and toiletries 3. Provide warmer blankets 4 Invest in tea towels to use in the kitchen 5. Do check the plates/ cups/ knifes and forks after each stay, so that new people have enough 6. Extra recommendation: invest in a small mini-oven, would be a great option for people to be able to make a pizza/ roast chicken and other stuff that you can't cook on the hob ( this would definitely earn you some good feedback from future travellers ) 7. Provide some tea/ coffee packets, so people who arrive late at night could have at least a cup of hot tea or coffee ( would cost you not much, but people appreciate small things like this ) All in all we enjoyed our stay and will stay there again ! We wishing the owner prosperity and growth of his business!

Positive: We stayed in the holiday home and absolutely loved it as we're hippies who like things simple, rustic and away from noisy crowds. The location was perfect for us - rural but midway between the beautiful beach and town with amazing views of the starry sky.. Suleiman was very helpful and being able to eat the vegetables and fruit growing in the garden was amazing (peppers, aubergine, grapes, bergamot and pomegranates). The water was always hot (but sometimes needed time to come through) and I got great wi-fi (my friend's was more erratic). We would definitely stay here again.

Negative: We loved how basic and quirky it is but if you're after luxury and lots of utensils, you'll probably need to book elsewhere.
