20 Reviews of Property 57148 in Uzumlu, Turkey

On September 1st 2012,I was fortunate enough to spend a week at Anne's Villa in Uzumlu,the whole experience was quite magical.From visiting the surrounding countryside with the exhilarating rides round the local mountains,to the beautiful nearby beaches and bustling markets.I also enjoyed a delightful evening meal watching the sunset at the Sunset Sundial Restaurant in Fethiyee,beautiful!
When I wasn't out touring I was able to relax by the pool on the Olive Tree patio in the shade of a 1000 year old olive tree,or enjoy a bite to eat on the terrace and take in the stunning scenery.
The villa itself is kept immaculate by the housekeeper,who arrives early every morning to hose down the patio and clean the pool ready for that daily swim.Inside the villa is welcoming and spotless with everything you'll need to make your holiday complete.
A truly wonderful experience throughout and one I can truly recommend.Thank You Anne,from Pauline in The West Midlands.

We have just returned from another stay at Olive Tree Villa (our third) and again it did not disappoint. The villa is clean and well equipped. We had a fantastic 11 days in Uzumulu, the village is wonderful and very friendly many good restaurants, we tried them all including the local pide (Turkish Pizza) place and were not disappointed. Anne the owner is very helpful and always willing to answer any questions or recommend places to eat or visit. I would not hesitate to recommend this villa. We will be back, thanks Anne

Have just come home after a fantastic two weeks at Olive Tree Villa.
I would have no hesitation in recommending both the villa and location to anyone.
Thank you Anne for all your help during the booking process and for all the really useful local information. We pretty much did all the things you recommended and enjoyed them all. Favourites where the Ghost Village and Saklikent gorge.
The villa itself has everything you need (except a cheese grater!)
Fantastic views. So handy for village shops and restaurants.The swimming pool is superb and kept beautifully clean. The garden is lovely.
All the village restaurants were great- just wished we had had more time!.
All the locals very friendly including the dogs, cats, donkey and tortoise.

Really looking forward to coming back another time.

Stunning villa in beautiful quiet surroundings. Everything was perfect - the villa was very homely and well equipped and the pool was fantastic.
Uzumlu is a growing village but still retains its charm and locals were very friendly. A good selection of restaurants, our favourite being Cadianda Pide at the bottom of the hill which is very friendly and wonderful food.
Many thanks to Anne who was so helpful in the run up to our holiday, ensuring everything ran like clockwork and lots of detailed information about the area prior to departure.
A wonderfully relaxing holiday which we would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Had a great time at the villa. The views from the patio were amazing and we enjoyed watching the various animals and birds including tortoises and a couple of red squirrels.

We feel we have seen the real Turkey at last and the people were so friendly. Not a souvenir shop in sight - bliss!

The restaurants in the village were good and very good value for money. We never had a bad meal.

This is the most amazing property situated in the most beautiful situation. When we woke up in the morning after arriving in the dark, all we could hear was the donkey braying and the cockerels crowing with the distant sound of the mosque.and on opening the shutters, the mountains were all around. It was truly like heaven on earth.! the villagers were so friendly and welcoming and It was just a holiday with a difference.

The villa was situated in the heart of the village. It was easy to catch a bus from the village and explore other wonderful places. The villa was of a very high standard and was spotlessly clean. I have no doubts in recommending this villa to anyone and I am really keen to book again next year

From my 1st contact with Anne, she was extremely friendly & helpful, answering all my questions & offering advice on flights and transfer from the airport. The build up to the holiday was as smooth as it could be. We booked with Fethiye Airport Transfers and they arrived at the airport with ice cold water in an immaculate taxi. Sheer bliss! The information provided at the villa was also very helpful.

We arrived at Olive Tree Villa and couldn't believe the beautiful views from the terrace. Both garden and pool are very well looked after and lovely to spend time in. There were six of us, including two children under ten and the villa was a perfect size. My daughters loved the pool and garden. They found a tortoise and were delighted by a red squirrel who came to drink from the pool every morning and evening. The donkey next door also became a favourite!

Uzumlu village was a very pleasant surprise, as it had very few tourists and was a peaceful, quiet place, but with a choice of restaurants, with varying prices, but all geared up for children. We particularly enjoyed the Pide restaurant, the fabulous bread shop and another restaurant up an alleyway which advertises English breakfast (but don't let that put you off - the people and the food were lovely). Everyone we met was charming and kind and made us feel so welcome. Even the Turkish ladies passing by the house gave my daughters fresh figs, almonds and other items they had been picking. The market on Friday is great for fresh produce.

We were rather unfortunate that we visited during a heatwave in the hottest summer Turkey has ever had & were rather hampered by the relentless heat. We hired a car for 4 days of our 14 & for the remaining 10 we did not venture out too far as even wandering around the village was exhausting. I certainly wouldn't say a car is essential, but if your budget allows (and you go in high summer), it may be an idea, so you can easily get to a beach.

In terms of things to do, we really enjoyed Kayakoy (the ghost village) and had a super day at Sakklikent Gorge. We also went to a beach used by the Turks which wasn't too far and loved that.We also had fun on the Dolmus into Fethiye and went on a memorable boat trip. We chose the shorter boat trip (11am - 5pm) and would recommend that if you have children, you don't take the longer one as they were very tired after it. We went on a smaller boat and can't recommend it highly enough - it was fantastic.

Book now -it's great!

As a family, we have become used to enjoying a couple of weeks relaxation in the sun in the privacy of a villa with a private pool. Privacy can be difficult to find, quality can be difficult to find, value for money can be difficult to find, and last but not least, good locations can be difficult to find. But all four together are extremely difficult to find. At Olive Tree Villa, we believe we found all of what we like in a relaxing break. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking, the locals are extremely friendly, more commercial tourist areas are but a dolmus away.

This was our first time in Turkey and we would certainly consider a return visit. We would highly recommend the country, the area, the village, and certainly the villa. Thank you Anne.
