Villa Amara is a cosy stone build holiday retreat with private pool and garden.

A hidden gem in the outskirts of Kayakoy village. We actually stayed in adjacent Villa Eden, larger than Amara. The decor is lovely authentic Turkish, large airy living spaces, stone walls, kitchen works well for making dinner. The garden is designed with paths among the local plants. If it were warmer, we would have spent more time lounging in and around the pool. Arife sent detailed directions, inc videos, for driving to the house. She was readily available to answer questions.

Thank you Arife and Oliver for making this stay so pleasant! We had a pleasant stay at the villa Amara which was really nice with a great view on mountains. It is a nice place in Kayakoy, a village where history have left his marks. The owners were very helpful at all point : before to ensure that we find the villa and that we can hire a car and during the stay whenever we needed support. We will definitely come back when the opportunity arises!

Absolutely splendid, loved the space, the pool was excellent, beautiful setting, I would go there again.

I could not have enjoyed my stay more. This beautiful, fully equipped home has fantastic views and fantastic owners. We spent 10 nights in this paradise. I enjoyed short walks into the village, days full of sunshine and a living link to the past. The area is rustic, with beautiful plants and trees. The pomegranates were ripening, grapes and figs nearby. Every afternoon was filled the scent of laurel, rosemary and oregano. Arife was always available to answer questions and she arranged a beautiful boat trip and a safe and friendly cab driver. I love that we didn't need to rent a car even though the area is very private. I highly recommend staying here if you want to make connections with family, friends, nature or to enjoy the night sky and hear the haunting call to prayer. If you want nightlife and crowds nonstop this may not be the place for you. I will definitely return!

Arife and Oliver were wonderful hosts - answering our questions so quickly and fixing any small problems. The villa was clean, comfortable, with a gorgeous pool area and air con. The restaurants are 10-20 min stroll away and the ghost town is easily reached on foot. Stunning beach at Gemiler. Loved the regular visits from Arife and Oliver’s dog and cat. Hoping we can come back one day!

I was a bit tearful when we arrived, tired and in need of a rest, at this beautiful villa in Kayakoy, hard to believe we could stay in such a lovely, private property, with fabulous views for 10 days. Arife and Oliver were the perfect hosts, available if needed, but not intrusive. We had a lovely, very welcome, first meal brought to us by Arife, and Oliver was on hand to help when a thunderstorm knocked out the electricity in the village. They were also incredibly kind in sorting out a new spare tyre for us after we got a puncture. The villa was immaculately clean and well equipped. It's a little tricky to find initially, just have to believe Arife's instructions and hold your nerve through the narrow streets of the village. We enjoyed the village, it's restaurants and bakery, all walking distance. We walked through the ghost town and over the hill to Coldwater Bay a couple of times which was beautiful, drove out to Patara to take in some history, enjoyed the marina in Fethiye, and Gemiler beach was small but friendly. We didn't do too much really as we were happy to relax in the villa and by the pool, why would you need to go anywhere else?

Superb villa, air con in bedrooms, wet room, large patio with swimming pool. Views toward the mountain. Rural retreat very quiet. On arrival meal prepared and ready to eat. Owners very friendly and hospitable

Villa Amara is the perfect setting for a relaxing break away from all the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds. The pool is beautiful, surrounded by fruit trees with wonderful views of the mountains and an abundance of nature on your doorstep. The villa is clean, nicely decorated and has everything you need. The owners, Arife and Oliver were wonderful hosts who helped us with everything we needed - including cooking us a delicious welcome meal (much needed after long journey and late night arrival) and arranging a private boat trip for us. We very much hope to return in the future. Many thanks Rosie, Sal, Louis & Dylan.

Paradise on earth What a wonderful villa in a wonderful setting. It is a dream!!! We had the best holiday in villa Amara since we made holiday in Turkey. Arife and Oliver are so friendly and helpful, they are the best host we ever had. Thank you again and we will missing villa Amara , the amazing pool and the spectacular view into the nature. We will defeninitely come back next year. Petra

We love the Edenvillas, each one feels isolated and there is a feeling of being the only guests there. Arife and Oliver are always available but never intrusive. We really enjoyed our extremely leisurely breakfast(9.30-14.00!) as Arife is a marvellous cook and host. We cannot wait to return next year. Any time spent there is never enough for us, it is highly recommended if you want a peaceful and quiet holiday. There are lots of good restaurants in Kayakoy and lots to do in the surrounding areas. We have been visiting the area for almost 20 years and have yet to be bored.
