A mansion carved into nine fairy chimneys above the valleys of Göreme, its rooms hollowed from the rock a thousand years ago and restored with Ottoman carpets, hammam marble and fires lit every evening. At dawn a hundred balloons drift past your terrace. Yours lifts first, with the valley's most senior pilot, and breakfast is laid wherever you land.

April to June and September to October, when the dawn air is still and the balloons fly most mornings. Winter brings snow on the chimneys, and more grounded flights.
