Historic Art House | Award-Winning Gallery Home

Welcome to one of the most extraordinary homes in Ayvalık.

Located in the very heart of Küçükköy, this remarkable stone house is far more than a place to stay—it's a living piece of art. Once a renowned artist's studio and exhibition space, the property has hosted countless exhibitions, creative gatherings, and cultural events over the years. Today, it continues to preserve its artistic soul while offering guests a truly unforgettable accommodation experience.

As one of the oldest buildings in Küçükköy, the house was carefully restored approximately 12 years ago, preserving its original architectural character while thoughtfully adapting it for modern comfort. Every corner reflects the unique identity of the building and its rich artistic history.

Inside, you'll discover an impressive collection of original paintings created by the resident artist. Many of these works have received national and international awards, making the house feel like a private gallery rather than a traditional holiday home. Guests are welcome to admire the collection throughout their stay, and if a particular artwork captures your heart, selected pieces are also available for purchase.

One of the home's signature features is its custom-designed kitchen bar, handcrafted as a unique artistic centerpiece that perfectly complements the creative atmosphere of the house.

Another remarkable detail is the collection of 14 original historic wooden doors, all carefully preserved during the restoration. Each door carries its own story and contributes to the authentic character that makes this property truly one of a kind.

With four bedrooms (4+1 layout) and spacious communal areas, the house comfortably accommodates up to eight guests, making it ideal for families, groups of friends, artists, creatives, or anyone seeking an inspiring retreat.

Sleeping Arrangements
Ground Floor: A spacious open-plan living room and fully equipped kitchen welcome you upon arrival. Just beyond the living area, you'll find a charming private courtyard featuring a traditional stone fountain, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat. At the rear of the courtyard is a bedroom with a comfortable double bed. A shared WC is also located on this floor.
First Floor: A cozy mezzanine level with a double bed overlooks part of the living space, adding a unique architectural touch.
Also on the first floor is a bedroom with a single bed and its own en-suite bathroom, as well as another en-suite bedroom featuring two single beds.
The comfortable sofa in the living room allows the house to accommodate a total of eight guests.
Rooftop Terrace: The top floor opens onto a beautiful terrace where you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Küçükköy, relax under the open sky, and unwind after a day of exploring.

More than simply a holiday home, this property is a place designed to inspire. Its artistic atmosphere and generous indoor and outdoor spaces make it an exceptional setting for yoga retreats, meditation sessions, creative workshops, painting classes, photography gatherings, writing retreats, and boutique cultural events.

Situated directly in the center of Küçükköy, you will be surrounded by charming cafés, boutique restaurants, art galleries, artisan workshops, and the vibrant cultural life that has made this village one of the Aegean region's most beloved artistic destinations. Everything is just a short walk away, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the village.

Whether you're an art enthusiast, a creative professional, or simply someone looking for a truly distinctive stay, this home offers far more than accommodation—it offers the opportunity to live within a space where history, architecture, and art come together in perfect harmony.
You will have the entire residence to yourself. Both the kitchen and bathroom will be equipped with all essentials. Clean bed linen and towels will be provided.

Our house, furnished and equipped features A+ energy-rated appliances and LED lighting. The majority of furnishings are locally sourced.

We offer a great experience, including professional UV-controlled cleaning, dry-cleaned linens, a welcome pack of Turkish treats, communication support, and home essentials.

We are available and eager to answer your questions. We strive for optimal guest experience with personalized services. You can request an airport shuttle at an additional cost. Please do not hesitate to contact us to find the exact rates (dependent on the mode of transport/pax).

Nestled in the heart of Küçükköy, one of Ayvalık's most charming and culturally rich villages, this home places you right at the center of an inspiring artistic community. Once a quiet stone village, Küçükköy has transformed into one of the Aegean's most celebrated art destinations, filled with galleries, design studios, artisan workshops, boutique cafés, and exceptional local restaurants.

Everything you need is just steps away. Spend your mornings enjoying freshly brewed coffee in the village square, explore local exhibitions during the day, discover handcrafted treasures in nearby boutiques, and end your evening with authentic Aegean cuisine under the village's historic stone architecture.
