Property Details
Villa Bahce (Turkish for "Garden Villa") is located in a small exclusive development on the hills near the village of Gundogan on the Bodrum Peninsula overlooking the intersection of the Aegean & Mediterranean Seas. Villa Bahce (pronounced as "Bah-chae" in Turkish) is a brand-new villa just completed in August 2006. Villa Bahce can comfortably accommodate up to 7 adults. This villa has two bedrooms and two day beds, a separate kitchen, two full bathrooms (upstairs and downstairs), mosquito nets on all windows, wood-burning fire place, new washing machine, and a fully-equipped kitchen with new dishwasher, oven, microwave, refrigerator, etc. Stairs from the villa lead directly up to the swimming pool, overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Villa Bahce Villa Bahce offers superb outdoor living space. French doors in the living room open up to a Mediterranean style courtyard garden. Perfect for enjoying your morning cup of coffee relaxing in comfortable wicker furniture. If you don't feel like sitting around the pool, two comfortable sun loungers are perfect to lay back, read a book, and laze the day away. At this location, there is a small pool and play area for children, and a large pool for adults.
The den area has a daybed with trundle that allows for two people to sleep comfortably. In addition to this, a single daybed is provided in a common area on the top floor. Perfect for relaxing with a good book while having the option to sleep one extra person. The villa is tastefully furnished and comfortably equipped. Villa Bahce has two TVs with built-in DVD/CD player with hundreds of satellite channels from around the world: one in the living room and the other in the master bedroom upstairs.
The unique design of Villa Bahce's arched roof and ottoman window box styling is only the beginning. The interior was designed with careful attention to detail and luxury. This villa is more than you would expect from a rental property. Highlights include: luxurious travertine stone in the bathrooms, custom designed furniture throughout the house, comfortable lighting, large kitchen with breakfast table, and a hand cut travertine stone wood-burning fireplace.
The Turkish clay pots and colorful plants create perfect courtyard garden. This villa was designed with the intent of blending indoors and outdoors for the discerning traveler who loves the comfort of a garden and the beauty of the sea.
Villa Bahce is the closest villa to the pool in this development. Villa Bahce's garden has its own private steps that lead directly to the pool. This is perfect for those who love to lounge the day away by the pool. From the villa, you can easily bring your favorite snacks and drinks to enjoy the sun with your friends and family. With the steep hills of Gundogan, this is a definite advantage. In addition to the primary pool, there is a small children's pool and play area.
The intellectual climate of Bodrum is shaped by tourists and people living on the Bodrum peninsula from countries such as England, Ireland, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain, and even the USA. The villa is within 20 minutes from the city of Bodrum, which allows for many entertainment opportunities (Turkish Blue Cruise Voyages, Greek Island Excursions, Historic sites, Nature Adventures, and excellent Night Life activities). Bodrum is well-recognized for its artistic heritage, and is therefore an open-minded community. Nightlife in Bodrum offers restaurants, bars, and clubs for all life styles.
Area Information:
In Ortakent (half-way between Gundogan and Bodrum) there is a large water park. It is opposite the KIPA hypermarket which is part of the Tesco chain and sells many well known Tesco products as well as local and international brands. Gumbet and Bodrum are only 20-30 minutes away for those want the busy night life and bustling resorts.
Also look out for the markets, typically the Turgutreis one on Saturdays. Yalikavak is usually on Thurdays and Gündogan on Wednesdays. There are no fixed prices so don't forget to haggle.
Hiring a car is the easiest way to get around, but you can manage without one. If you're staying for a few weeks you may like to save some money and shed the car for some of the time and use the local dolmas, or mini-bus service, which operates cheaply and efficiently throughout the peninsula. Yellow taxis are good for short journeys but can add up a bit on longer ones. Many people hitch around the area and it is not uncommon for lifts to be offered by drivers who are going the same way as you.
Whatever you are looking for to make you holiday complete, Gundogan and the Bodrum Peninsula offers it all!
