I have been visiting Turkey for the past 15 years with my partner and my family. We have always opted to stay in a villa as it gives us so many options and allows us to have some time just with the family.
Our time at Shay villa has by far been the best villa we have stayed in so far. From selecting the villa from a few shortlisted properties, this villa stood out because of the immaculate presentation of the villa and the beautiful surroundings. What I wasn’t expecting was for the villa to be even better than in the photos.
From initial arrival and check in with Berke, who was fantastic and very helpful throughout our stay, this villa was just so much better than anywhere else we have been. From the beautiful bedrooms, 2 with en-suites, to the stunning pool overlooking the mountain, you can’t ask for more.
The interior of the villa is top quality, the kitchen has everything you would need including a dishwasher, fresh water tap and all the appliances you will ever need. The huge fridge can be filled with as much food or beer as you want and the freezer is a great place to store ice. The furniture in the villa is beautiful, the lounge has two large sofas and a chair although we spent most of our time on the patio which is huge with a large table and chairs but also a smaller sofa and chair set so whether playing games, eating out or watching the sunset, the villa offers it all.
Our transfers were on time and there was a mid week clean which left the villa sparkling. Berke and his team couldn’t do enough for us and stopped by once to make sure we were ok. Berke also gave us his mobile number to call if needed (we didn’t need to).
The location is great, the villa is close enough to walk into Hisaronu and Ovacik or you Oludeniz was 10 minutes down the road. Fethiye was 20 minutes by Dolmus but we hired a car for the majority of the time we were there. The villa provides a huge car port and so much space outside that we were really spoilt for choice.
There are a few tweaks to be made. In other villas we have been provided with a book filled with local activities and important information in regards to local amenities and any important villa information reiterated. This has also been added to by guests, detailing anything of interest close by and recommendations for local restaurants and bars. I think the villa would really benefit from having something like this.
Overall this villa is the best place we have ever stayed in
