Within the idyllic mountains of a peaceful Kaya village in the Southwest of Turkey, this family-friendly two-bedroom villa provides the ideal relaxing retreat. With its private swimming pool, fantastic views over Kaya Valley and fully-equipped kitchen, there’s little reason to leave – but you should, since ancient rock tombs, lively local markets, and fantastic walking routes abound.
Cube-shaped Villa 2 bedroom is traditionally the Mediterranean in style on the outside with rustic stone and whitewashed walls. Inside, the decor is contemporary and minimal, giving the impression of extra space and light. Main standout features include the glass mosaic pool and roof terrace area, where you can stargaze at the evening skies or sit around the dining table with your morning coffee.
The master room boasts a comfortable super-king size bed, while the other bedroom has two single beds – both are equally stylish and welcoming and have en-suite bathrooms and plenty of space for storing your belongings. The kitchen has a dishwasher and an oven, and there’s a living and dining area with cosy seating and a flat-screen TV with a DVD player for a home-from-home stay.
Outside, you’ll find the stunning roof terrace, with the table shaded under a wicker pergola and several chairs and loungers to find your prime sunbathing or covered spot. Whistle up a refreshing fruit smoothie using the villa’s blender, choose a book from the library and head to this patio area for a relaxing afternoon by the mountains. If you get too warm, dip your toes in the swimming pool – kept utterly private by a beautiful flower-adorned wall and tall wicker fence.
If you’d like to see the local area, the villa is a short 1.1km from Kayakoy Ghost Town, with hundreds of abandoned Greek-style houses and churches. You can walk off-the-beaten-path track through the olive groves, orchards and quiet lanes lined with stone cottages. With the sleepy hamlets of this idyllic part of Turkey surrounded by a hem of pine forests – it’s the perfect place to go exploring.
