Natureland Efes Pension

Wifi, spacious room, swimming pool, green and quiet surrounding, enough parking space, friendly staff and rich breakfast menu.

Location is not suitable for public transportation. Transportation service hours is not suitable for night travelling.

I love the place so much. The weather, the landscape, the host... They are just so nice. Each room has its own shower and pantry and a small dinning table. Its spaciuos and convenient. Every morning, the host will cook traditional turkish breakfast for us with her home-made olives that were grown in the back of her house. She will talk to us while we eat and we could learn more things from the locals. There is even a old water- way arch, dated from Medieval time, right in fromt of her house. Its very close to Sirince and its worth visiting.

You need to rent car and drive here with gps coordinates. Our TomTom didn't have information of this place but Google maps does. Also, there are only 2 rooms. So if are travel in groups of more than 4 pax, its too crowded. The owner said she's adding more room in the near future though. There is a smell coming from the drain in the bathroom due to piping work. This will also be fixed as informed by the owner.

A very lovely designed apartment with great yard. Everything is perfect, the room, the surroundings, the stuff and the breakfast. And the lady even used her own car to pick us up and send us to bus station. Really nice and helpful.

very beautiful view, nice staff, very beautiful and spacious room with good facilities.

-location is quite far (need to take taxi if you back home late) -"no" hot water in winter

a very silent relaxing place

nothing

Lovely hosts, room was spacious, clean, very comfortable, had everything you need for a relaxing stay. Lovely views to Selcuk Castle, which is now lit up at night. Breakfast on the terrace was great

The service was amazing. Our flight got in very late and by the time we got to the hotel it was almost 3am but we were still met with a smile! The room was clean, breakfast relaxing and the pension is very close to the UNESCO site, Ephesus.

Very friendly english speaking owners Excellent breakfast in th garden with splendid view to Selcuk castle Very comfortable location with good accessibility to Ephesus and Circesi village One of the best choices in the area

They have a very nice swimming pool. It is a bit out of town so nice to get away from the hussle and bussle a bit. Can highly recommend their dinner, one of the best we had in Turkey.

Unfortunately there was a drain problem while we were there and the smell was horrendous. Hopefully this has been sorted out.

Very friendly staff/owners. Beautiful surroundings. Excellent Turkish food. Large room.

Barking neighbor dogs, but only sometimes during the day. No reading lights at the bedside.

Small family run... very warm welcome & give you loads of advice on the area while staying - Will return again one day!

We stayed at Natureland Efes for 2 nights and loved it! It has a lovely location, in a middle of a hill, surrounded by lovely olive tress with a beautiful view of a medivial castle. The wooden house itself had a fairy-tale feel :) the rooms were big, spacious and well decorated. It had a small kichenette and a breakfast nook. The bathroom was big and very modern. It was the best rooms we stayed in our entire turkey trip. The facility also had a nice swimming pool - if you wanted to chill! The experience was made extra special by seval - the B&B owner! She made great food and was super helpful! This made for a great base to explore Ephesus, sirince and Izmir. Overall a great experience and highly recommended if you find yourself in Selcuk.

Just a note - the location is a bit out of the city - so you'll need a car to get here....

This is an oasis, a paradise set in olive groves. The room is more of an apartment with a fully equipped kitchen. It is spacious and graciously appointed. The pool is an unexpected luxury set on the terrace above the house. Meals are served on the pergola under grape vines with a view of th distant castle in Selcuk. It is close to Ephesus and a wonderful place to retreat after exploring that remarkable place. The host both English speakers with a great knowledge of the area. We felt welcomed into their circle. The home- cooked meals were delicious and ample. We have already recommended Natureland and do so without reservation.

A bedside lamp would be the only minor additions I would suggest.

We liked it all! House is new and you can see that everything you find in your room is carefully chosen in order to feel confortable there. Room is very clean and with a warm atmosphere. The owner is very friendly and ready to give you any information you might need. We spent only one night there, as we reached Selciug only for visiting Ephesus. But it is worth to stay longer if you want to spend a peaceful vacation in a fantastic location. Not to forget about food, as we enjoyed one lunch and one breakfast there: unbelievable traditional food, prepared and served in a very nice way!

Like staying at your best friend's mountain getaway home. Friendly, comfortable, with all the furnishings top line. Beautiful pool (maybe a tad cool...) We had two dinners that were delicious and more like home cooking than restaurant food. Couldn't be better.

A lovely hotel run by a caring family in a gorgeus surrounding! Perfect to get to Ephesus and Selcuk in few minutes. Highly reccomended.

A fairy-tale chalet surrounded by an absolutely gorgeous ring of craggy, rocky mountains and Selcuk castle; the setting is breathtaking and peaceful. The room, small kitchen and bathroom were spacious, impeccably clean, with modern furnishings. We regretted that we were only booked for two nights; we could have stayed for weeks. The newly finished infinity pool is refreshing and when you are immersed in the water you see only the mountains all around you--magical. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and they go above and beyond to make their guests feel at home. And the food! We decided to eat dinner there for both of our days there and it was fabulous! We have not eaten better quality or more delicious food anywhere in our 12 days in Turkey. The breakfast is also fresh with nice variety, in addition to the traditional olives, cucumbers, tomatoes and fruit. Not to mention that it was so plentiful we could not finish all the food. All in all, we would love to go back and experience more of the magic of this place.

There was one problem for me, not so much for the rest of my family; the owners use a synthetic air-freshener pump in the rooms; and I have serious chemical allergies so could not sleep inside during the first night at all. The lady owner, Seval, was very nice about it and turned off the pump immediately and helped me out with a mattress on the second floor porch (where they live). The mountain air is wonderfully clean outside and everything would have been fine except for the 30-some dogs their neighbor keeps who barked for most of the night. I do think that cleaning a room is enough and the synthetic fragrance is unnecessary and not healthy for anyone. The second night the air was much better inside the room and I was able to tolerate sleeping inside. In spite of this, we loved Natureland Efes!

Lovely accommodation. The hosts are very friendly and hospitable. The rooms were great and spacious with good air con. The breakfast was genuinely excellent and the service friendly. Better than expected, even with the great reviews.

Me and my family (my wife and two children) enjoyed the pool and the breakfast in the hotel. The area is very quiet; which is good for relaxing. We did not like the dinner offer and we went to city (Selcuk), bought some pasta and cooked at the room. The kitchen had all equipment. Also, the staff members (two ladies and a boy - ahmet) were very helpful and of big assistance. The hotel is nearby Sirince (an historical village) - 5 km and to Efes (the landmark site) - 15 km. Good location to explore both places and we did visit both places.

We did not like the behaviour of the Pension owners when charging for our stay in their place: the lady was following me to make sure that I pay the room in the evening rather than in the morning. Nevertheless, this behaviour did not affect us to have very nice stay in the Pension.

What a lovely respite this is, after the somewhat touristy town of Selcuk. The pension is new and has a lovely view of the valley around the Selcuk area. We arrived somewhat late and had thought we would drive into town for dinner, but was told they would be ready with a home cooked meal for us in the next 15 minutes, We were served a lovely meze plate, a great bowl of soup and had two choices for an entree'. This was a wonderful dinner and a great excuse to stay in this lovely spot. Breakfast outside overlooking the olive tree orchards was wonderful!

No real complaints, just a reminder that staying here is easier if you have a car. The owner is trying to get some better signs placed as we had a bit of trouble finding the place, but other than that, this is a wonderful spot and one that I would reccommend.

we stayed in natureland efes for two nights while visiting efes and surrounds. what a pleasant surprise! the hotel is brand new, they are still finishing the swimming pool area. everything is new and clean and of exceptional quality. the rooms are spacious, with a fully equipped kitchenette, ideal for a family staying longer and self catering. they serve other meals too, but breakfast is included. the hotel is situated a little outside town, so the area is very quiet and peaceful. this is a hotel i would love coming back to, and i would reccommend it to anyone! very good value for money.

Beautiful and distinctive modern guesthouse, very clean and comfortable. Lovely location and view down the valley to Selcuk. Friendly English-speaking host family and delicious breakfast including home-cooked Turkish dishes.

The b&b is in a beautiful position and the owners are two friendly persons who take really care of the guest's comfort. This is a highly recommended place to stay for a visit to the nearby Efes ruins and to the more distant Priene, Mileto and Dydime. Reachable only by car.

Position, breakfast, spacious room with kitchen.

Windows not completely shaded, letting a bit of light into the room during the night.

This family-owned pension, a large lodge built of logs, is in a breathtaking setting between Selcuk and Sirince, surrounded by rocky cliffs and olive orchards as far as the eye could see. We could also see the castle in Selcuk and even the Aegean sea in the distance. An adventurous member of our group climbed up the steep cliffs behind the pension, where there is a cave and wonderful wildflowers. The rooms, brand new and beautifully furnished, were very large and included a kitchen area, a table for eating, and a sofa--as well as a huge, comfy bed with first-class linens. The bathroom was beautiful too. We enjoyed free wifi in our room, and everything worked perfectly--not a common occurence in our two years of traveling in Turkey. Breakfast was excellent too. The swimming pool--under cnstruction when we were there in March 2012--will be a fabulous addition,. Our hosts, a Turkish woman and her Dutch husband speak fluent English and provided warm, generous service--including great recommendations for nearby restaruants. This pension was a joy--and an EXCELLENT value too.

This is not a negative, just a comment: Since the pension is a short distance outside of Selcuk, having a car made this pension especially easy to visit. A bus comes from Selcuk every 30 minutes though, so a car is not mandatory.
