Masal Evimiz

Masal Evimiz Overview

You know what struck me first about Masal Evimiz? The name literally means “Our Fairy Tale House” in Turkish, and honestly, it’s not overselling itself. I stumbled across this place while exploring the Aksu district – which, let me tell you, most tourists completely skip even though it’s barely 20 minutes from Antalya’s chaos. The property sits tucked away on this quiet residential street in Fettahlı mahallesi, and I mean quiet in the best way possible. No honking buses at 6 AM, just the occasional call to prayer drifting over from the local mosque and maybe some kids playing football in the distance.

The whole setup feels more like staying at your Turkish aunt’s house than a typical hotel, but with all the amenities you’d actually want. The owners clearly put thought into every corner – there’s this lovely courtyard area where you can actually hear yourself think, and the rooms have that lived-in comfort that makes you want to extend your stay. I particularly loved how they’ve managed to keep the traditional Turkish hospitality vibe while still giving you proper Wi-Fi and air conditioning that actually works (trust me, this matters in Antalya summers). The breakfast spread was something else too – fresh simit, local honey, and they make this incredible menemen that’s honestly better than what I’ve had in Istanbul. Plus, you’re perfectly positioned to explore the real Antalya region without dealing with the tourist trap pricing. There’s a great little market just a few streets over where locals shop, and if you’re into ancient history, you can reach Perge or Aspendos way easier from here than from the old town.

What really sells me on this place though is that 9.2 rating – and after staying there, I get it completely. It’s the kind of spot where the staff remembers your name by day two, where they’ll give you actual directions to places instead of just pointing toward the tourist areas, and where you feel like you’re experiencing Turkey rather than just visiting it. The whole Aksu area is having this quiet renaissance with locals who want to escape Antalya’s summer madness, so you’re getting in on something special before everyone else figures it out. Just don’t expect nightlife within walking distance – you’ll need to head into the city center for that, but honestly, after a day of exploring ancient ruins and swimming in the Mediterranean, collapsing into one of their comfortable beds while listening to the evening call to prayer echo across the neighborhood sounds pretty perfect to me.
