Villa Ayse

An introduction to Villa Ayse

From the sleepy, picturesque hamlet of Gokcebel, a 500m long track leads to this hillside villa. Set in three quarters of an acre of wooded grounds, green spreads in every direction as far as the eye can see, and the stone-built bungalow crouches at the centre of this dramatic landscape. Pebble mosaic pathways wind through the grounds, passing a bright sun terrace and a weathered olive tree which is reputed to be 1,000 years old, on the way to the pool area in the lower gardens. With comfortable seating areas around and overlooking the pool, guests have the option of sun or shade between dips, or while waiting for a light Mediterranean lunch to settle.

The tranquillity of the setting has been carried through to the interior, where white muslin curtains flutter at windows and doors and generous, comfortable furniture makes staying indoors as much of a pleasure as going out. The open plan living-dining area's French doors lead onto the long open terrace which runs along the front of the house, and where seats are well placed to enjoy the view of unspoilt countryside all around. The master bedroom features a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a full-size bath, power shower and stylish marble, mosaic and dark wood scheme.

The villa's location enjoys both space and seclusion, without isolating guests by its remoteness. Amenities are all within easy driving distance, and delightful day trips can be arranged from Yalikavak Harbour (4km away), from where you can board a small gulet and don a snorkel to explore the crystal clear waters around the beautiful bays and islands of the craggy peninsula coastline.
Nearby is the Villa Caria, which is far enough away to ensure privacy, yet conveniently situated for larger parties. Both villas are lovingly cared for by their owners, Manfred and Ayse. The enthusiastic Manfred can often be seen watering the garden and maintaining the pools.
