This two-story villa is located on a hillside overlooking on the Aegean near Antalya, Turkey, and it boasts a stunning view of the forested countryside and mountainous coastline. It also has a very cool infinity pool to view it from. It’s easy to imagine spending all day on the terrace or in the pool, taking it all in.
However, the views from the living room and bedrooms are pretty spectacular too. Large windows take full advantage of the setting, interiors are spacious and modern, and decor is simple – polished wooden floors, brightly painted bedrooms and splashes of colorful mosaic tiling and rugs. The interior staircase, light fittings and some key pieces of furniture were handmade to the owners’ specifications.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The house is airconditioned. The open-plan living/dining room has satellite TV, DVD, and iPod dock, as well as three sets of double doors leading to the pool terrace. The kitchen has an oven, microwave, dishwasher and water cooler (and there is a barbecue outside). The ground floor double bedroom has doors to the pool terrace.
The first floor has a master double bedroom and another double with en-suite shower rooms and doors to the shared balcony. A twin bedroom also has an en-suite shower. There is a washing machine and clothes dryer.
AROUND
There are two restaurants and a mini market within a 20 minute walk. Kalkan is only a 15 minute drive downhill from the villa. A small resort and fishing town, Kalkan is for the most part untouched by mass tourism and appeals to travelers looking for more than a beach holiday. The Guardian newspaper describes it as “the Italian Riviera minus the poseurs.” Known for its distinctive Ottoman Greek architecture, the town is said to have the highest number of restaurants and bars per inhabitant on the Turkish coast.
Slightly farther afield is Antalya, Turkey’s main coastal holiday resort with palm-lined streets, a lovely marina and a picturesque old town, Kaleici, with narrow winding streets and old wooden houses along the ancient city walls.
