Why Stay in our Luxury Villas in Turkey?

Be part of our vibrant village community by supporting our villas

WWhat is special about staying at Villa Nurtan? It is the house that we built for ourselves, that we would be proud to live in and share with others.

We support Green Tourism. It is for those that want complete privacy and who will our enjoy our garden and the produce that grows in it – including mulberries in May and grapes in the Autumn. 

It is where to stay if you like a lot of space around you – both inside and out – whether you want to laze in a hammock, our wonderful pavilion, verandas or balconies. You can watch the natural world at your leisure – the bats and stars at night, birds swooping to drink at the pool, dragonflies over the water, the birds of prey overhead or just watch the garden grow. Surrounded by fields, woodland and the nearby hills it is a nature lover’s paradise. 

Villa Lale nestles in the midst of orange groves.Close to the heart of the hamlet access is via a track away from any road. Yet you will hear and see village life – the call to prayer from the nearby mosque, women (usually ) working in the nearby fields, chickens, cows and goats in the surrounding orchards. This is a place for those who want to experience rural village life, without sacrificing luxury.

What is it like to stay in a Turkish village? You will notice that everyone is friendly and will greet you with ‘Merhaba’ (Hello). The Kecibuku hamlet has a population of around 350, so you can be sure that everyone will know who you are or will work out where you are staying very quickly. As a stranger you are a guest in the community, so you may be given a gesture of welcome – perhaps an orange or a fig from a tree as you walk by.

There are the sounds of village life. If you are used to the rumble of cars and street life, you will instead get used to the call to prayer just before dawn and at intervals through the day from the village mosque. At night time you may hear cockerels, dogs, the snuffle of a wild boar, the occasional gun shot as the men hunt at night for them or the music of a wedding celebration. At other times there is utter quiet – except for the sounds of frogs in the spring whilst the streams are running and the cicadas in high summer.

During the day you are likely to see women working in the fields, or perhaps walking past carrying large bundles of firewood or animal feed on their backs. You may see goats trying to feed from the garden, chickens wandering through it, cows being walked up the hillside to fresher pastures, beehives lining the tracks into the hills. In late autumn the village is occupied with the olive harvest – either for curing at home or for taking over in bulk to Datca for pressing.

“Thank you for the most relaxing holiday we have had in years. We did nothing at all except relish the peace of the villa, with an occasional foray into the village to stock up on supplies. The whole team looked after us expertly and caringly from the moment we first made contact until the moment we left. Thank you for a perfect holiday”

“We had a fantastic holiday in Orhaniye and your beautiful villa, you have certainly thought of everything that we would need to make a very comfortable stay in villa Lale. The Turkish people, especially the neighbours are really friendly. The team are really lovely. We will be thinking of returning again, hopefully next year.”
