I am a recently retired Chartered Surveyor having spent the bulk of my career working for the Inland Revenue. The Villa was purchased so that we could spend 6 months of the year in Turkey, avoiding the worst of the British winter and 6 months of the year in the UK. The villa is not therefore a "holiday home" but is furnished and maintained as our home, all of our previous renters have remarked on how welcoming it is because of this very reason.
