  4 bedroom Vintage Villa Yalikavak Bodrum Turkey Sleeps 7
  We spent 7 days in the house as a family of four (children in late teens). From the time of booking the communication from Sally, the owner, was superb: great detail and extremely helpful. The house is located on a closed estate on the hills to the west of Yalikavak. It is high enough (up a very steep hill) to have a view out to the see from the roof, but the garden and the house is enclosed and private. The house is very well maintained and has the genuine feel that you are staying in someone's home rather than a rental property. The living area is of a good size and outside is a perfect, private area to relax in the sun or shade. The private pool was the perfect size for limited swimming and cooling down. The roof top is a real bonus, especially with the addition of the hot tub. Despite the extreme hot weather we spent most of the week outside. We did not really use the shared pool which is large or the slides. There is a gym on site but it is a bit run down. There is a bus which runs every four hours into the centre of Yalikavak marina and it leaves 50m away from the house. We had a hire car which was a real bonus to be able to nip to the shops or to eat in the evening and I would recommend a car for this property. It has a good blend of being very rural but not isolated. We did not know the area, but with teenage children we really enjoyed Kalikavak as place, A busy marina, with lots of restaurants, and a wide variety of shopping from the very expensive to a more bazaar feel side streets. Plenty of good supermarkets within a few miles down the hill. There is plenty of help on site, and when we had a problem with the pool, Sally sorted it out within minutes. Overall, we had a fantastic week here and we were extremely happy with every aspect of our stay. We would strongly recommend it to anyone. Thank you Sally!

  3 bedroom Villa Priene, Koyunbaba Bay, Gumusluk
  Villa Priene was a lovely place to stay and certainly made our holiday an enjoyable one. It is perfect if you wish for a quiet, relaxing holiday with a touch of comfort and style. As a young group of friends we found the property very accommodating. It is the perfect accommodation for a small group of friends of any age or even young families. Tracey and Martin were both lovely and friendly and made such an effort to come by most days and keep the pool and outdoor area clean and tidy which I thought was really nice and they were very helpful in providing information about the local activities. The upstairs terrace is beautiful and the view is indescribable, pictures do not do it justice. It really is one of the best features of the house. The few neighbours that we did see were very friendly and said hello without fail everytime we passed their door. The property is slightly outside of the main towns but the surrounding areas are fairly easy to access. Hiring a car would be best but we managed to get by on the local buses and cabs. There is a great place called the terrace just five minutes away from the villa and the owner and his staff were very accommodating and extremely friendly. The food is great, presentation is beautiful and the views are amazing ! They also have wifi which they kindly allow you to use even if you are not eating there, however the food is great so you really should!! Overall our holiday was lovely and relaxed and the villa really was home from home. Small touches around the villa such as the candles and plantpots really make it a pleasure to stay in. Thankyou Tracey for being such a great host. I would recommend this villa to any one who is looking to relax in peaceful and comfortable surroundings ! Thanks for a lovely time.

  3 bedroom Villa Priene, Koyunbaba Bay, Gumusluk
  We have just returned from a lovely two weeks in Villa Priene. From the moment we booked Tracey, the owner, was very considerate sending us details of places of interest and general information like the need for a visa. Nearer the time of our holiday she then offered to book car hire and get some shopping for us etc. During our stay she came each morning to clean the pool and outside area and completely cleaned the villa after our first week which was excellent. The villa itself is beautifully kept with amazing views over the surrounding hills and bay. It has beanbags, a hammock and even a swing which really adds an extra touch. The location is good with a large well stocked supermarket, bakery and a restaurant just a short walk away. There are also a few small towns nearby all with a harbour, beach and lots of restaurants and shops. Bodrum is also only about a 30 minute drive away.
