This home may be in the sunny climes of southern Turkey, but it’s got all the rustic charm of an Alpine cabin. It’s not a world away from the Alps in terms of scenery with the mountains of Islamlar rising up around you – this place is perfect for those that like to lace up their hiking boots to tackle the great outdoors on an epic walk. From the terrace, you’ve got sweeping views down to the nearby town of Kalkan which you can enjoy from the cool of the main pool or from the bubbling, overflow Jacuzzi. There’s plenty of room on the wooden decking for lounging in the sun or relaxing with a cold drink on one of the lounge chairs. Plus, there’s a ping pong table for a friendly tournament. It’s like you’ve got your own spa here with an indoor swimming pool and wood-clad Jacuzzi bath in the big window of the main bedroom. Really indulge yourself with a session in the sauna or embrace Turkish tradition in the full hammam with its stone basins harking back to the Ottoman era. Inside, it’s all knotted pine with an A-frame roof like a Swiss chalet. The plush... living room is separated from the kitchen by a wooden breakfast bar – perfect for your morning Turkish coffees.
