Villa Sovalye (The Knight's House) is a fabulous villa which offers spacious accommodation for 6 people, plus a baby or toddler, in 3 double en-suite bedrooms and a further downstairs cloakroom/wc.

It is located in a peaceful area less than 15 mins easy walk to the old town and harbour and just 5-10 mins to shops, bars, restaurants and the market.

Highlights of the villa include views from the amazing roof terrace with both shaded and open spaces for dining, sitting or sunbathing; new bathrooms; comfortable beds; and the private heated pool and terrace set in established gardens.

The villa is furnished in a comfortable, relatively traditional style with many items made by local craftspeople. On the ground floor there is a large open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area which opens onto the pool terrace. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom (with doors opening onto the terrace) with ensuite bathroom, and a cloakroom/WC. Upstairs, two large ensuite double bedrooms open onto the beautiful bougainvillea covered balcony; both rooms and the balcony have beautiful, uninterrupted views of the bay and mountains beyond.

The large pool terrace has sun loungers and a table and chairs for al fresco dining. The pool (6m x 4m, 2m deep) has both steps and a ladder for easy access and is heated in early and late season (heating at other times is not usually needed but can be arranged for an extra fee if needed). The pool area is fairly secluded as it is set in walled gardens so no-one can see the pool from the road. There are villas on either side so please bear this in mind if you require complete privacy for swimming/sunbathing.

On the roof terrace you will find shaded comfortable seating and a table and chairs for dining, as well as a BBQ and an open area with loungers to catch the sun all day long. At the rear of the villa there is a beautiful gazebo with a hammock set in tropical gardens for relaxing in the shade.

WIFI is included and all rooms have air-conditioning. There is also a water chiller for your convenience and a delivery of fresh bread every day. Bed linen and towels are provided.

If you want something a little bit special why not come and enjoy all that Villa Sovalye has to offer for yourself?

About the area:
Kalkan is an ancient fishing village that, although now a sophisticated and unique upmarket resort, still retains its quaintness and charm. There are over 150 restaurants offering fine dining in roof-top restaurants overlooking the bay and lots of beautiful boutiques and shops offering everything from fine jewellery and designer goods to traditional Turkish arts and crafts. The weekly Thursday market is not to be missed and is a colourful mass of goods, spices and fruit and exotic vegetables. The pretty harbour town of Kas is a short bus ride away and the surrounding hills are famous for their trout farms where you can choose your own fish and have it cooked the way you wish. The villa is close to several delightful beach clubs where you can swim, snorkel, try various watersports, or just relax and enjoy the views. All in all, there is much to see and do and the only downside is that you may not have enough time to experience all this charming place has to offer!
