Rent Villa Kemal Turkey

You get the best of both worlds when you holiday in the mountain view Villa Kemal, perfectly positioned in the charming village of Ovacik, between the holiday hot spot of Olu Deniz and the cosmopolitan town of fabulous Fethiye, on Turkey’s Turquoise coast. This imposing three-storey, detached villa has three spacious ensuite bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests, ideal for a large family holiday or friends’ get-together. The villa is set in its own high-fenced grounds, enclosing lawned gardens with ancient olive trees and a private swimming pool. Villa Kemal is constructed out of classic Mediterranean whitewashed walls, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that let in lots of natural light and cooling breezes and open onto the gardens and mountain view balconies. The interiors are contemporary, furnished with modern minimalism, in a soothing colour palette of grey shades and beige tones.

The seating area has two comfy sofas and a coffee table worked around a flat-screen smart television. The galley-style kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest appliances you will need for your holiday, including that must-have morning coffee maker. A six-seater dining set is situated in the double-height atrium, making it a super spot for some impressive entertaining. A guest cloakroom completes the ground floor. Take the stairs to the first floor, where you will find two large bedrooms with double beds, fitted wardrobes, ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers, and mountain view balconies. The upper floor is home to a family bedroom, with a double bed, two single beds, lots of fitted wardrobe space, an ensuite marble shower room, and a large mountain view balcony that runs the width of the villa.

The grounds are delightful, enclosed by high fencing for privacy and security, and home to well-maintained lawns and gardens with tall shady trees. A private swimming pool takes pride of place, with an inset shallow pool for the kids. The pool is surrounded by sun loungers with parasols and a swing chair to sway the day away. As the sun sets, meet at the soft seating area for a cocktail or two, and dine on the local delicacies under a twinkling Turkish sky.
