    The Most Romantic Getaway

    January 27, 2013

    My husband and I were married at Melange in 2009 and we plan to return for our anniversary this May. The decor is exquisite with a very European feel, the food is so delectable my mouth waters whenever I think of it, and the hosts, Mehmet and Lale, feel like old friends. I cannot imagine a more fitting place to have our wedding. We are delighted to return! Liz and Kevin

    What a splendid place

    July 19, 2012

    What a splendid place, from the rugs and antiques to the china used to serve the wonderful (absolutely gourmet) Romantic Candle Light dinner on the Mediterranean Courtyard to the completely delicious breakfast. House: The bedrooms are all furnished with excellent mattresses that slept wonderfully. We happen to have bad backs and usually one night in a strange bed does us in, but not here. The king size bed in the Scarlet room was perfect with a soft topper and firmness and support beneath. Each room has its own bathroom and two have balconies. Fortunately, the Scarlet Room was one. What a plus that was. We love outside and enjoyed the privacy of having a balcony room to sit and enjoy (most rooms in B&B’s don’t provide that- and two rooms here do). The open public rooms of the house are filled with a fascinating touch of the Near East. The Turkish rugs abound complemented with antique groupings. I was wondering when the magic one was going to take off and fly me away, but I think it already had, for the time spent there was magical indeed. Food: Talk about a chef and gourmet meal. The menu is set up so that you can fulfill your dietary needs from normal, religiously restricted to vegetarian. We saw all the items we loved but chose to select something that we did not have out or at home. The serving was unobtrusive. See if you can find the secret serving passageway. Only an old mansion would come with one of those. Owners: Lela and Mehmet Ozelsel are such gracious hosts making sure they are catering to you and your needs and living up to their promise of unforgettable impressions. Thank you for a memory that we will carry for a long time. Hope to see you again soon.

    melange is great

    February 20, 2012

    Our stay at the Melange was great. When you walk in it is like a beautiful mansion. The owners are very welcoming. Although it was very cold out, our room had a nice balcony, the grounds were beautiful and the room was great. We felt comfortable and relaxed. After getting back late from the movie they even left dessert out for us! The next morning the breakfast was wonderful and full of flavor. Great visit!

    Best place I have ever stayed!

    November 10, 2011

    In Hendersonville, NC, on business, it was my very good fortune to stay at the Melange Bed and Breakfast. In my travels never have I been so satisfied with an accommodation. A sign as you enter the drive way to this old Victorian says it all: stress with the international sign for “no” across its face. From the moment you enter the front hall, with its beautiful winding staircase, you know you are in for a treat. Off this hall are two living room areas and a dining room, where the tables have linen table clothes, good china, and where breakfast is a culinary experience. Upstairs are the guest rooms furnished in period antiques and beds that require sheer will power just to get up in the morning. My bedroom had its own large private porch. Beside and behind the house are beautiful gardens. The owners, Lale and Mehmet Ozelsel, are the most gracious of hosts, always asking if they can provide any little thing to make your stay more enjoyable. In my case, it meant meeting me in the front hall, after a hard day, with a glass of wine, and Lale serving me an early breakfast before normal hours because I had to leave for work. Truly, this isn’t just a place to stay. It is a destination in and of itself. I look forward to my next opportunity and this time will bring my wife so she, too, can enjoy it. There is but one problem with staying there. At some point, you have to leave, and that’s not easy. Gene G.
