Villa Zeki has the most perfect rural location, peacefully positioned in the village of Islamlar at the foothills of the Taurus Mountain range. This comfortable and relaxed two-bedroom property sleeps up to four guests. Larger parties can combine with its sister villa, Villa Zeynep, next door. Islamlar is a small, dispersed village and agriculture is deeply rooted in the heart of this community. Perched slightly inland, it is still only fifteen minutes from the upmarket waterside town of Kalkan yet the ambience and atmosphere couldn’t be more contrasting. Kalkan offers elegant alfresco dining opportunities in abundance, both waterside and on roof terraces, there are also a myriad of artisan boutique shops, a pretty public beach and selection of chichi beach clubs. Villa Zeki is the perfect compromise for a family seeking time to chill by the pool, but with a host of opportunities for exploration only a short drive away.

Modern architecture combines with warm and delicate tones to create a reassuringly homey vibe. The property is built over two floors with the downstairs open plan living space being the focal hub and place to gather. A contemporary and understated theme runs through the villa, with the light and airy large living space designed to bring the outside in. Floor to ceiling glass windows open onto the pristine courtyard swimming pool and garden, featuring a pleasant alfresco dining and seating area together with a built in barbecue where you can absolutely make the most of the warm evenings. The outside space is enveloped by a pleasant stone wall so the children can’t stray far while you kick back with a good book.

The downstairs master bedroom is extremely spacious and even has a free standing Jacuzzi bath looking out across the gardens. Large glass doors open onto the garden and swimming pool, well suited to those who enjoy an early morning dip.

Upstairs, there is no bedroom envy as the second master bedroom is equally well- proportioned and complete with en-suite bathroom. This bedroom opens onto a gorgeous furnished balcony with stunning views of the rolling countryside and swimming pool below.

Villa Zeki is the perfect choice for a family who enjoys a more independent style of holiday. Encircled by towering trees, orchards of pomegranates and lush greenery- enjoy the simple pleasures of a life and land that time forgot.
