Award-Winning Art House | Historic Charm
Welcome to one of the most extraordinary homes in Ayvalık.
Located in the heart of Küçükköy, this remarkable historic stone house is much more than a place to stay—it is a living expression of art, history, and creativity. Once the studio and exhibition space of a renowned artist, the house has hosted numerous exhibitions, creative gatherings, and cultural events over the years. Today, it preserves that artistic spirit while welcoming guests for a truly distinctive stay.
As one of Küçükköy's oldest buildings, the house was carefully restored approximately 12 years ago. Its original architectural character was thoughtfully preserved while introducing the comforts needed for modern living. From its stone walls to its historic details, every corner tells a story.
### A Home That Feels Like a Private Gallery
Throughout the house, you'll discover an impressive collection of original paintings created by the resident artist. Many of these works have received national and international awards, transforming the property into an intimate gallery experience.
Guests are invited to enjoy the artwork throughout their stay, and selected pieces are also available for purchase if something particularly captures your attention.
One of the home's most distinctive features is its custom-designed kitchen bar, handcrafted as an artistic centerpiece that reflects the creative identity of the property.
Another exceptional detail is the collection of 14 original historic wooden doors, carefully preserved during the restoration. Each has its own character and history, adding another layer of authenticity to this one-of-a-kind home.
### Space for Up to 8 Guests
With a spacious 4+1 layout, generous communal areas, and accommodation for up to eight guests, the house is ideal for families, groups of friends, artists, creatives, and anyone looking for an inspiring escape.
### Sleeping Arrangements
