i contacted "El Vino" based on the reviews i read on this site. I must admit it was everything I expected and more. Deniz isthe ulmiate manager you can meet. He is always there for you and willing to assist you in any way. So does the rest of the staff, that makes you feel at home and work according to the highest standards of service. The hotel itself is soooo pretty! The pool area is relaxing and the restaurant on the roof top has great view. We were 5 girlfriends and loved every minute of our stay. another big advantage is the fact that the hotel allows easy access to the city center and main shopping and restaurants area.
I would definitely be back! And most definitely recommend “El Vino” to everyone who considers a stay in Bodrum. That is far the best “Value for Money” you can get!

We are independent travellers. We booked for one week at El Vino based on trip adviser's reviews. Deniz made the booking very easy. We believe that the room rate was also competitive.

The hotel is an easy 10 minute walk to the bus station which made it easy for us to take daily trips on our own to most of the sea villages of the peninsula. It is also an easy 15 minute walk to the harbour (the outer harbour for the pubs and the inner harbour for the cafes and restaurants).

Our room on the second floor was spacious with great view of the sea and the castle. Everything in the room worked well. The hotel personnel kept the room spotless during our stay. The bedding was changed several times.

The breakfast by the pool was excellent (primarily Turkish). Kamil did a great job of managing it. We enjoyed also the diverse hotel guests and the house dog Cookie.

We live in the US (Florida) and this was our fourth visit to Turkey. We visited Istanbul, Antalya, Bodrum, Fethiye, Izmir, Selcuk, and Canakkale. We rank our all around experience at El Vino as outstanding. It is the best managed and maitained hotel we have experienced in Turkey. Deniz has gathered a large number of well trained staff to operate the hotel.

All of the staff was extremely helpful in every way.

Our party of 4 just returned from a trip to Greece, Turkey, and London. Our best and most relaxing time was spent at El Vino. This oasis is beautiful and relaxing with wonderful food, service and atmosphere. It's enchanting. The rooms are very nicely appointed. It is owned by a husband and wife team of architects who look after every detail. The price was more than reasonable. We all want to go back. The best place we stayed on the whole trip. Thanks to Denise and all the staff.

I agree with a previous review that the El Vino is an Oasis in busy Bodrum. The property is surrounded by trees and flowers and sits on the hill overlooking Bodrum. It's 15-minute walk to the Agean Sea and Castle of St. Peter, and we had a view of the Castle from our room.

The service is excellent all around. Deniz, the manager, speaks good English, but he wasn't around until the last day, so we relied on Ahmed who spoke some English.

The breakfast was good, with traditional Turkish fare plus cereal, and they will cook eggs for you for a little extra. There was Nescafe for coffee, which actually isn't too bad.

The El Vino is very comfortable and I highly recommend it.
