Private Holiday Villa in Turkey
Villa TaŞ Evi – the address literally translates to “Stone House, Goat Village, Turkey” – is a secluded private holiday villa near Fethiye in Turkey with its own private swimming pool. It has four double bedrooms, two with en suite bath or shower, two with shared shower room.
The villa is the highest building on the side of a hill in the Kaya valley, overlooking Kaya Koy, with the deserted village evacuated by the Greeks in 1923 and the setting of Birds Without Wings, the recent novel by Louis de Bernieres.
Privacy, Peace and Quiet
Tas Evi gets its name from the local stone from which it is built. It means this privately owned holiday villa is pleasing to look at and not just another modern concrete block dumped on a beautiful landscape. With the regular breeze coming up the slope means that the house and pool stay pleasantly cool even in the hottest days of summer. There is airconditioning in all the bedrooms for when that is not enough.
This private villa is the highest house at its end of the Kaya Valley. This means you get to overlook the entire valley while nobody else gets to overlook you (with the possible exception of an occasional herd of goats). Your noisiest neighbour is the farmer’s cockerel.
However, although this holiday villa is in an idyllic, rural setting, you are not far from plenty of restaurants within walking distance, ranging from the very simple (and cheap) to the sophisticated (and expensive). You are only 10 minutes drive from the bars and night life of Oludeniz and Hisaronu. In the opposite direction, the now very popular and popular market town of Fethiye with it’s bazaars, old town shops and wonderful waterfront with many restaurants, only 15 minutes away; and you are just under an hour away from Dalaman airport.
Equipped For Modern Living
The villa owners, John & Louise, spend some or all of the winters at the villa and every winter, another project is taken on to improve and enhance the villa. This is not just one of the many holiday rental villas that gets a quick visit by its owners to fix a few things, it means that this is an immaculately maintained and modernised villa without losing any of it’s Turkish rustic charm and it shows.
The kitchen itself is extremely well equipped for people who enjoy cooking and not just equipped with the usual “6 glasses, 6 plates, 6 mugs” the bare basics which most villas provide. A 30 ton freshwater reservoir means that you are unlikely to experience any of the water shortages that can afflict other villas for rent in Turkey. The high speed unlimited wireless broadband means you can stay in touch with family and friends and stream live video footage should you wish to do so. The owners love this house and think you will too.
Using Villa Tas Evi as your holiday accommodation, you are well placed to visit some of Turkey’s most spectacular scenery and a wealth of historic sites; you are also only 15 minutes drive from a number of beaches. For more information, see “Things to do”.
Airport transfers can be arranged in a packaged price for you and we can also arrange to have a hire car waiting for you at the villa for when you arrive.
