About

I am a semi-retired accountant, widowed recently, my husband was a TV cameraman. We both had travelled extensively for our jobs - my main career was in international development. We chose a home in Turkey as it is a perfect mixture of east and west, a gentle fascinating culture with a very settled climate.

WE ALL HAD A FANTASTIC HOLIDAY AND THE VILLA MORE THAN LIVED UP TO OUR EXPECTATIONS, BEING A BEAUTIFUL, WELL-EQUIPED, SPACIOUS AND HOMELY HOME. THE SETTING OF PINE FOREST AND MOUNTAINS GAVE BREATH-TAKING VIEWS AND SHADY WALKS - THE TRIP TO THE VILLAGE FOR BREAD EACH DAY WAS A FAVOURITE, (5 MINUTES SHORTCUT, 25 MINUTES SCENIC ROUTE), OFTEN ENCOUNTERING A TORTOISE OR TWO! THE SURROUNDING GARDENS AND POOL WERE LOVINGLY TENDED ON A DAILY BASIS BY A LOCAL WHO WAS A FOUNT OF INFORMATION ON PLACES TO SEE, BEST SHOPS, RESTAURANTS ETC, AND ADVISED US TO KEEP THE GATE SHUT TO STOP THE GOATS FROM EATING THE FLOWERS! tHERE IS STILL SO MUCH YET TO SEE AND DO THAT WE HAVE ALREADY BOOKED NEXT YEAR AT VILLA TAURUS, A PERFECTLY APPOINTED VILLA THAT WE WONT BE RECOMMENDING TO FRIENDS BECAUSE WE WANT IT ALL TO OURSELVES!!

Villa Taurus exceeded all of our expectations. The villa is extremely clean and well maintained, comfortably furnished and with a lovely well-equipped kitchen. It really feels like a home. The shared pool is an excellent size and depth and is beautifully maintained. The garden areas around the villa and those surrounding it are planted with an array of plants and brightly coloured flowers complimented by areas of lush green lawns. The view of the mountains from the villa balcony is spectacular and cannot adequately be captured in words or in photographs. The villas mountain/forest location is wonderful with amazing beaches only a relatively short distance away and ancient Lycian ruins literally on the doorstep! The villa provided a perfect base for one of the most enjoyable holidays we have had. We will definately be returning!

A lovely and relaxing place to be with all the facilities. We really enjoyed our stay there. Perfect for adults and children alike.

from Charlotte of Balham, London -

"I had a wonderful time. The villa is spacious, attractive, really comfortable and well kitted-out. The views are stunning and the pool a good “swimmers” size. It’s the sort of place you can do as much or as little as you like, in a very relaxing atmosphere”.

From Stephen, of North London

"It was perfect. You have really thought of everything. The house was brilliant, very luxurious, and we spent a lot of time on the balacony and next to the pool.
There wasn't a single thing we needed that could have been provided. As a result we did lots of cooking of all the ingredients found locally and didn't actually eat out very much. We found a couple of good restaurants on the seafront at Fethiye.
The Kadyanda ruins up the hill (past the tombs) were a real highlight as was Patara beach. We went up to Kadyanda in the evening and it was really spectacular without anyone around.
The Patara ruins (next to the beach) are worth a look.
I definitely want to go and see more of Turkey after that. As you say the history around there is brilliant and I love the way you just come across all the ruins rather than them all having sanitised visitor centres like in the UK!"
