Lettaşi Bungalov

I cannot rave enough about this storybook gem in the Rize/Black Sea area. The hosts, Mustafa & Özlem, are a delightful young couple who are extremely attentive, helpful & generous. After a few days, I felt like family! Rent a car at the airport & in less than 30 minutes you’ll be transported to a lush, green, mountainous village where the Lettasi Bungalows are perfectly situated along a babbling stream amidst a working tea farm. Each beautifully constructed A-frame bungalow is spacious & airy with a large living space, convenient kitchen, very nice bathroom with walk-in shower, & sizable sleeping loft with a VERY comfortable cozy bed. My favorite part is the rear yard (private for each bungalow) which looks out on a vast tea garden punctuated with kiwi & hazelnut trees. All this & a most delicious breakfast which includes an assortment of homemade jams (courtesy of Özlem’s excellent culinary skills)….. I could move right in! Lettasi Bungalows are conveniently located to loads of river rafting & zipline outfits, Black Sea beaches & less than 1/2 hour drive to the famed Rize Tea Center, Cay Carsisi. I hope to return one day.

Well deserved 7 star stay! Peaceful, quiet place. Excellent conditions! Excellent treatment from the hosts! More than I ever expected in a bungalow. So affordable compared to the nearby Ayder bungalows that are so messy, crowded and over priced!

A wonderful experience. The couple who own the property were so friendly and helpful and went out of the way to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. Staying here was the highlight of the trip.

The property is brand new and in a very good condition. The area is very quiet, very green. Owner gave us access to his garden full of vegetables and showed us around where to get groceries to make breakfast in the fully functional kitchen in the bungalow. Highly recommend if you want to spend time in nature, enjoy the greenery and still be at close proximity to the city.
