Villa Taurus, Uzumlu, Fethiye, SW Turkey

A beautiful house sleeping 6 to 7 (including travel cot) on an exclusive quiet secluded private development with glorious mountain views and big pool shared with just 4 other villas. It is within easy striking (by car) distance of many superb archeological sites.

The villa and its location is particularly suited to people wishing to have a secluded peaceful holiday.
It suits walkers and those wanting to lie in the sun equally. Within walking distance (8 mins) of a traditional Turkish village with shops and restaurants. It is surrounded by lovely gardens designed to a high specification. Full air conditioning, 2 ensuite bedrooms with 3rd bedroom and bathroom, private parking, a patio and private garden area as well as extensive balconies. The pool is 3 times the size normally offered with villas (110 sq m). The cluster of villas is easily accessible but tucked away in a private location with lovely woodland walks straight from the doorstep.

The villa is not suited to the party lover (loud noise etc isn't appreciated by our neighbours!) although much fun can be found in the village. It is our home, not just a rented house, and the furnishings etc reflect that. We do not accept parties of young people nor single sex parties on stag/hen outings.
