Nestled in the tranquil village of Islamlar, at the foothills of the Taurus mountains lies this beautiful villa with all the little luxuries needed to make the most of your holiday. Lounge by the pool, before rinsing off in the outdoor shower and letting the sun dry you naturally as you let the hours slip by on the poolside loungers, and enjoy alfresco meals to the sounds of wildlife. If you're looking for a slow-paced, rural trip to an undisturbed and beautifully traditional corner of Turkey, you're in the right place. The village of Islamlar is serene with little tourism, and you're sure to come across plenty of animals in the village on your ventures. Head out to Patara beach for a day by the sea and explore the coastline by gulet or kayak. In the evening, sink into the hot waters of the Jacuzzi tub in the main bedroom and look out at the stars, visible thanks to the lack of light pollution.

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
