Luxury Accomodation

Villa Karatavuk is not only a rental property but our second home; therefore it has been furnished and decorated to a high standard and has all the home comforts you (or at least we) could desire.

The villa can accomodate 6/8 guests in 3 bedrooms including 2 en-suite WC/shower rooms, plus a separate WC/shower room on the ground floor. A mezzanine floor above the living area is used as a small study/library.

Picturesque Setting

A world away from the hustle of the tourist hotspots, this is unspoilt Turkey at its best.  Take breakfast out on the balcony, drinking in the view across the valley to the distant mountains.  In this secluded location, you’ll hear little but the sound of birdsong and the occasional tinkle of a goat bell.

Yet the village of Uzumlu is just a short walk away through the trees and fields lower down the valley slope.  Inspect the local hand-woven fabrics as they are made on the loom – you can even have your own piece made to order in a couple of days!  Try some of the local specialties at one of the outdoor restaurants, and watch the world go by (slowly) as you sample the local wine.

The weekly market in the village square shows off the varied produce of this fertile valley. Before you head back to the villa, pick up a selection of kebabs, fresh vegetables and herbs for a sizzling barbecue on the terrace overlooking the pool.  Don’t forget the excellent Turkish beer – and some more of the local wine. 

You can finish the day watching the sunset across the valley as you dine al fresco under the pergola with the stars above shining from a jet-black sky more brightly than anything you’ve seen at home.

Local Support

Our local agent is available during your stay to answer any queries by phone or at the office in the village.  He is can also advise on any activities or excursions you may wish to arrange.  Airport transfer is available at £30-35 per party.  A basic welcome pack is provided.  Any special requirements can be ordered.   

A wireless broadband connection is available if you really can't leave Skype or the email alone. (But do make sure anyone you talk to knows you're sitting by the pool in the sunshine with a cool beer in your other hand).

Car hire is useful but not essential. A regular, cheap bus service links the village to Oludeniz and Fethiye with supermarkets, shopping areas, banks, harbour and large selection of restaurants and tourist activities.
