About this property

This spacious four-bedroom country house stands alone in its own two-acre (8000 sq m) garden. The villa is ideal for adventurous spirits who love comfort, privacy and the rugged beauty of one of Turkey's most unspoiled mountain parks. A special attraction: a large natural pool for refreshing swimming. Spring and autumn are gorgeous for local climbing or trekking the nearby Lycian Way, summer is sunny and hot. Luckily you'll be within 25 minutes of three of Turkey's most beautiful Mediterranean beaches, two remarkable classical cities and the everlasting flames of the Chimaera.

Please note we will not charge for infants of two years old and under, and we offer a 50 per cent discount for children between 3-16 years old inclusive. Please let us know when you reserve. As with a hotel, Turkish law requires that before your arrival we share all the names and passport numbers of those in your group.

The house is well-insulated, has good ceiling fans and floor fans and there are plenty of shady places outside, but there is no air conditioning.

About the host

Hosted by Hugh Pope

The picture: the owners in the natural swimming pool that is our pride and joy at The Lazy Olive. We are Hugh Pope and Jessica JJ Lutz: Hugh is a British writer and author of three books on Turkey, the Turkic World and the Middle East. I lived in Istanbul for 28 years. Jessica is a writer, therapist and independent scholar. We built The Lazy Olive ourselves as our dream home and after 15 years we'd like to share it with like-minded spirits.

Why they chose this property

Silence, apart from the frogs croaking in spring or the pulse of cicadas in high summer. Swimming in our unique, soft natural pool. Seclusion, since the nearest paved road is a mile (2km) away. Delicious village food, if you engage our housekeeper to cook for you. Sparkling days out on the water, when you charter a boat or join a group leaving from a nearby beach (Adrasan or Cirali). Classical antiquity, with many ancient and beautiful Lycian cities within range (Olympos 10 minutes, Phaselis 25 minutes, Myra 1 hour, Arykanda 1-1/2 hours, Termessos/Aspendos/Perge 2 hours, not to mention the fine museums in Antalya and Demre). Dinners on the beach. But above all, two acres all to yourself to enjoy in the midst of a lovely mountain park.
