We stayed for a week in this idyllic villa. The house is secluded, which was what we were looking for. It is situated in its own spacious grounds beautifully landscaped and filled with oleander, roses and citrus trees. The gardens are tended by Aytekin, who is invaluable, as he keeps the house, pool and garden immaculate. Fresh produce from the garden such as tomatoes, cucumbers, fruits of all kinds are collected daily. A vegetarian heaven! The house is built overlooking the peninsula and views are breathtaking. The interior is beautiful with wooden floors throughout and has a colonial feel. For us it was beautifully cool even at night but in August you might want the air-conditioning, which is in all bedrooms. We loved it so much that we returned, having already come last June. Despite, in our view, over anxious concerns in the press regarding visits to Turkey, we can only say that we found Yalikavak and Bodrum itself to be lively, colourful places, filled with holiday makers, both Turkish and foreign, enjoying the markets, the beach and restaurants in relaxed holiday mode, just as it has always been. This is a beautiful area and Leyla's Place the ideal spot from which to enjoy it.

We have stayed at Leyla’s Place for the last four years, with a minimum stay of 10 days, having always enjoyed our holidays there. This year we booked our holiday via Annie at Peninsula Villas, for ten days in July. The booking and payment process was straightforward. Leyla’s Place is located between Yalikavak and Gundogan. It is in a beautiful position, on a hillside, overlooking Yalikavak - with amazing sea views and sunsets! From the villa, we have visited Ephesus on a day trip, explored some of the closer Greek Islands and this year we spent three days in Istanbul before flying down to Milas and on to the Villa. Although off the beaten track, the villa is approached along an unmade road which is easy to negotiate. It is only a short drive to the local supermarkets and bakery. The house itself is a large multi-level traditional stone family villa with all amenities and everything you would need for a wonderful self-catering holiday. There is a well equipped kitchen, a large homely furnished living area and comfortable bedrooms, with fans and some air conditioning. We enjoyed meals on the veranda, overlooking the beautiful gardens and the surrounding landscape. Our days were spent relaxing by the well maintained pool with a plethora of loungers, cushions, a hammock and sufficient shade to avoid the mid-day heat. The caretaker, Aytekin, was friendly, courteous and always helpful; providing us with fresh fruit and vegetables from the villa’s gardens and offering to prepare a BBQ. His wife cooks delicious local meals on request for a small fee. Yalikavak is a small town with lots of restaurants, serving traditional food. It has a lovely old harbour and a new Palmarina with a large selection of designer shops, bars and restaurants. There is a local, vibrant market on Thursdays. We had a wonderful holiday and couldn’t fault anything. We plan to book again for 2016, but for a longer period next time.
