Four-bedroom Villa Rustem is a 300-year-old Turkish farmhouse that has been beautifully restored with fresh, modern interiors. It retains its authentic charm with original features like stone walls and rustic wooden beams. With its breathtaking views over Kaya valley and Kayakoy ghost village, large private swimming pool an abundance of inviting spots for relaxing, it’s holidaying at its best.

The rooms are bright and airy, with whitewashed walls and natural décors, such as light wooden floors and cream-coloured linen. The four charming bedrooms each have a balcony looking out towards the lush, green surroundings and en-suite shower rooms for your utmost comfort. There’s also a marble reception hall and a comfortable lounge with glass doors showcasing the vistas.

Tastefully designed for a self-catering stay, Villa Rustem has a fully-equipped kitchen with marble worktops and an island for extra space. Amenities include a dishwasher, a microwave and a washing machine. There’s also a sitting room with comfortable sofas and a traditional Turkish fireplace cut into the stone, alongside a private terrace off the king-size bedroom for enjoying the magnificent mountains.

Outside, the turquoise glass mosaic infinity pool is the show's star and backs onto the mountains. It’s surrounded by a vast paved space, dotted with sun loungers and chairs and provides the perfect spot for lounging in the sun or the shade. You’ll also find a shaded area, under which sits a dining table – ideal for taking your morning coffee with a peaceful atmosphere.

Villa Rustem nestles into its surroundings, and if you look closely, you might see eagles hunting or hear the tinkering of goat bells while they nibble on the wild sage. The lovely valley is an oasis, and if you’d like to explore, it isn’t far from Fethiye town and the stunning Ölüdeniz lagoon.

What Oliver loves...

  • This villa was once a traditional farmhouse. Classic 300-year-old features like the stone walls, fireplace and wooden beams remain, while the interior has modern, comfortable furnishings.
  • Magnificent views looking out towards Kaya Valley and the famous Kayakoy ghost village.
  • A basic welcome pack is provided but can be upgraded on request for £65
  • If you've not read 'Birds Without Wings', by Louis De Bernieres, it's the perfect read for this holiday as set in the Kaya Valley, at the time of the Turkish population exchange.
  • There is a welcome hamper of food provided on arrival, so, if you arrive late you will have a snack and a drink to get you through until morning.

What you should know

  • It’s secluded and private. However, you’re only a short walk from Kayakoy Ghost Town and are within driving distance of Fethiye port town with restaurants, shops and cultural sites. You can also travel 20 mins by car to the fabulous Blue Lagoon at Olu Deniz.
  • It’s on a slight incline so it’s easier getting to the village than it is getting back.
