Villa Altas

Pergola in Villa Garden

Villa Altas is a very spacious luxury villa on a small select site which has been recently completed. It is located on a hillside in a truly magnificent part of the Turkish countryside with beautiful views of the mountains & across the Xanthos Valley. There are generous shaded patios around the villa with gated access to pool and gardens, providing security for younger children. All bedrooms have access to balconies. The private swimming pool is set in a large attractive garden which has its own vine-covered pergola and traditional stone oven with barbeque. This is an opportunity to really get away from the hustle and bustle of life, unwind in a peaceful and scenic setting, but within easy reach of places of interest such as Saklikent Gorge, the Taurus Mountains, Patara Beach and historic sites like Tlos. Or you can just explore the beautiful countryside, try the various excellent eating places and make contact with local people who are friendly and helpful.

Amenities/Facilities provided

 

Accessibility
This property is built on an attractive sloping site which does, however, make access to wheelchair users difficult.

Outside
The terracing is accessed from the dining room & kitchen. Here you can relax and enjoy the views, catching the cooling summer breezes and take in the beautiful sunsets. The garden is attractively planted with a variety of fruit trees, plants & flowers. The pergola is a retreat where you can just laze, admire the view across the valley or eat Turkish style.
The swimming pool (8mx4m x1.5m single depth) is surrounded by extensive travertine marble paving & there is a hot/cold shower & a stone-built Turkish barbeque. The pool may not be available during the cooler months.
Sun loungers, parasols, chairs & tables are provided for outdoor use.

Coast/Beach
Patara Beach is about 45 mins drive & is rated as one of the best beaches in Turkey with long stretches of beautiful sands backed by dunes. It is unspoilt by any development except for a single very pleasant cafe on the beach. The approach is through the archaeological remains of the ancient city of Patara which in Lycian times was the principal port of the area but has long silted up.

Dalaman Airport is 70 mins. away & transfers can be arranged if required.

Further details
You can walk out directly from the villa onto the various tracks & footpaths & into the protected woodland above the site. In Kadikoy village the shopkeepers are helpful, welcoming & will deliver provisions if asked. It has a Monday market. Other weekly markets are in Fethiye, Kalkan & Kemer. The carpet factory showroom in the village is well worth a visit, demonstrating traditional carpet making & displaying breathtaking examples of the craft.
Ten minutes away, in the area of Tlos, are excellent restaurants & bars, including the Mountain Lodge which provides drinks, snacks & evening meals in a relaxed atmosphere around their pool, set in beautiful gardens with a children's play area. Beyond Tlos are restaurants such as Yaka Park where trout are farmed & fresh fish is served in delightfully shaded setting surrounded by cool running water ingeniously routed around the sitting areas - ideal in the middle of a hot day! The remains of the ancient city of Tlos can be seen from the villa. This was one of the principal settlements during the Lycian era, dating back to 2000BC. The Greeks, Romans & Ottomans have all occupied the site & there are extensive remains of the acropolis, theatre, agora, tombs, stadium etc. Along the Xanthos valley are other Lycian cities of Pinara, Letoon & Xanthos.
Between Kadikoy & Saklikent Gorge are numerous wayside places where you cans eat in the traditional Turkish manner at very reasonable prices. Saklikent Gorge is very impressive & reputed to be the second longest in Europe, although only 4km is walkable. Go prepared to get damp as you wade through the icy meltwaters. Afterwards recover with a meal on one of the eating platforms suspended over the river. This area also offers river rafting, mud bathing & tree houses in which you can arrange overnight stays.
Kemer is the nearest town with a good Friday market & restaurants overlooking the river & town.
In Fethiye, boat trips, scuba diving, shops & restaurants are on offer.

Guest comments
Thank you so much for letting us use your lovely villa & pool. We have had a fabulously relaxing time & a fascinating insight into Turkish country life. The views over the valley are just superb & we enjoyed watching the goats come & go each day. We never expected Turkey to be so beautiful or the people to be so generous & friendly. - The Jones Family, South Wales
What a lovely place! The villa was so spacious - a huge beautiful fitted kitchen with marble work surfaces. You can tell this is someones home, not just a business. Local people were so friendly & nobody trying to sell us things. The pool & garden were perfect. We loved going up the Gorge. Our favourite was the Yaka Park trout restaurant sitting & snoozing in the shade with a cold beer & good meal, listening to the ice cold waters gush past. One of our best holidays & hope to come back soon. - Al & Kate Gordan, Edinburgh
