Overview
Stay in style when you vacation at Villa Senfoni, situated on the outskirts of the holiday hot spot of beautiful Bitez on Turkey’s Bodrum peninsula. This impressive detached two-storey villa has four spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms. It can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests, ideal for a family holiday or a friend’s get-together. Villa Senfoni is set in an extensive olive grove with a private walled garden and a mermaid mosaic tiled private swimming pool as its centrepiece. The villa is built out of classic white Mediterranean stone, designed with luxurious modern interiors, furnished with local natural woods and artefacts, and decorated in a light and airy neutral palette of shades of grey. Villa Senfoni has complimentary Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and an entertainment centre to keep everyone amused.
Enter the villa at the ground floor level, where you will find your holiday home from home. The seating area has two large dove grey three-seater sofas and matching armchairs, a craftsman coffee table, and an open fire for the cooler months. The entertainment centre included an LCD satellite television, a Wii games console, a DVD and CD player, and iPod speakers, to keep everyone of all ages occupied on those quiet evenings. The dining area has a classic wooden table with eight upholstered chairs and a matching sideboard for some seriously impressive indoor entertaining. The adjacent black and white kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for a happy holiday, including a built-in oven and hob, a washing machine and dishwasher, a huge American style, family size fridge freezer, and that must-have morning coffee maker. The kitchen also has a useful informal pine wood four seater dining table. The first of the four bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, with a double bed and white furniture. There is a separate bathroom with a shower, single hand basin, and WC. Take the stairs to the first floor, where there are three spacious double ensuite bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed, an armchair, and a flat screen television, with an ensuite beige marble bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath and walk in shower, and patio doors that open onto the balcony with views over the grounds and garden. The second bedroom has a double bed, white furniture, an ensuite shower room, and floor to ceiling doors that open onto a balcony with garden and pool views. The third bedroom is a twin, with two single beds, and an ensuite marble shower room.
Step out onto the terrace from the ground floor living space, here you will find a well maintained garden set in an olive grove, where we are sure you will be spending most of your time. A paved path will take you to the inviting mermaid mosaiced swimming pool, where you can swim a few lengths before breakfast, or take a cool dip in the afternoon sun. The pool is surrounded by comfy cushioned sun loungers and shady parasols, where you can sit back and while the day away. Take a swing in the hammock as you catch up with this year’s bestseller, or get active with a game of ping-pong in the garden at the table tennis table. Relax with a cocktail in the rattan soft seating area, situated under the eaves of the villa, before rustling up a dinner on the brick built barbeque and serving it alfresco at the outdoor dining table. Enjoy dinner as the sun sets and a myriad of Mediterranean stars come out to shine.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa SenfoniVilla Senfoni is located on the outskirts of the quiet, laid-back resort of Bitez, eight kilometres west of the international tourist town of Bodrum, where the Greek Aegean meets the Turkish Mediterranean Sea. The villa is a fifty-minute drive from Bodrum International Airport, get there by taxi or the frequent reliable local public transport system.
The villa is located three and a half kilometres from the nearest sandy beach, and the citrus-scented resort of Bitez itself, with its many cafes, bars and restaurants, and local shops and supermarkets stocked with everything you will need to cater for a happy holiday. The nearest supermarket and restaurant are eight hundred metres from the villa, a leisurely ten minute walk away for your daily provisions. The town of Bitez plays host to a weekly market every Thursday, selling home-grown fruit and vegetables, freshly caught fish, locally pressed olive oils, honey from the farmer hives, and souvenirs to remind you of your stay, it’s all very bazaar. Every Sunday there is a flea market, where you can find Turkish bric-a-brac to take home and visit the old Greek orthodox church with its famous dolphin mosaic. Start your holiday with a scrub and clean at the nearby Bitez Hamman, the best way to prepare for a super tan.
The bay of Bitez has a beautiful half-moon sandy beach with a mountain backdrop, pre-book sun loungers and shady brollies, sample the water sports and wind surfing, relax in a hand-woven hammock, and refresh in one of the many cafes and bars. Some seriously good beach clubs populate the peninsula, the oldest is Sarnic, where you can bathe, swim and surf, or you may fancy the buzzing Buddha Bar and Beach Club with its international live music concept and evening entertainment. For some adult beach club vibes try Xuma in Yalikavak with its Chill Out Festival and no young children policy. Push the boat out and hire a yacht with your own captain for a lazy day at sea, sun bathing, swimming, and snorkelling, or set sail on a shared one departing every morning from the harbour.
Further, afield just twenty minutes’ drive away is the town of original fishing village of Yalikavak, which now offers a range of family fun activities, an impressive marina, where you can marvel at some seriously amazing super yachts, and spend all your lira in the marble shopping mall to rival Milan, selling all of your favourite designers and brands, with your own personal shopper as an optional extra.
Go east and in twenty minutes you’re in the cosmopolitan town of Bodrum, with the impressive St Peter’s fortress, an Underwater Archaeology Museum, and a Maritime Museum, not to mention the great shopping, and fabulous food. If you love the nightlife, go to Gumbet, the next village along, with lots of live music, busy bars, and dancing until dawn. Adventure further afield to see some real Turkish delights. Well worth the journey is a trip to seep yourself in history at the world-famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ephesus, and the amazing library that is still standing. Lose yourself in the cotton clouds of the incredible geological magic of Pammukale, and bathe in the life-enhancing Cleopatra’s bath. And if you feel like going Greek, nip on the ferry that takes you from Bodrum to Kos and all its ancient sites in only half an hour.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThere’s lots for kids to do and see when you stay at Villa Senfoni, starting with your own private heated swimming pool with easy step entry, and as there’s no set hours they can play and splash all day. The villa is also set in its own grounds, with a lawned garden, where your children can safely play.
The nearest beach is three and a half kilometres away, Bitez Plaji is renowned for being family friendly, with fine sand, sun loungers and parasols, easy entry calm shallow crystal clear waters, water sports, including a fabulous fun banana boat, and lots of cafes and bars. Flamm beach is also noticeably both family and pet friendly, with two piers, and a cool breezy setting. No trip to Bitez is complete without a family day at sea in one of the many private hire yachts with your own captain, or a shared group boat trip from the marina. Enjoy discovering hidden bays and secret coves where you can swim with the fishes, and learn the art of snorkelling.
A thirty minute drive away is the charming fishing village of Yalikavak, where all the family can get aboard the Rib Adventure and ride the waves, take to the seas on the Bodrum Barracuda for scuba and snorkelling. Or submerge yourselves in Oscar, the local submarine and see the sea from under the water. Yalikavak is also host to Y-Kidz, a club for children aged 3-12 years in York Marina, with a timetable of different and exciting activities throughout the week. Splash out in the Pirates Inn Aquapark, nine slides of fantastic fun for the all the family, slip down the waterslides and play in the pools. If you dare, take the plunge down the three storey, five hundred and thirty four metre, Navigator water slide, taking you through dark holes to land you in a pool. Take to the top of the water with an adventure as you tackle the local rivers on a raft.
If surf isn’t their thing, try the turf with the Countryranch Equestrian Sports Club at Turgutreis, where your children can horse ride over sandy dunes, learn about dog training, follow excursion trails, or play in the children’s playground. For your older children an adrenalin jeep safari is just the thing, race around the area, with a chance to see traditional villages, and the local flora and fauna. Don’t miss a day at Fun Town Yashi Park in Ortakent, where there is something for all ages, including children’s playgrounds, horse riding, go karting, paintballing, table tennis, and competitions.
A day trip to Bodrum is well worth a visit, and only eight kilometres down the coast, with lots of public transport to get your there. Visit the medieval castle of St Peter’s built by the Knights of Rhodes, wonder at the ancient shipwreck ruins in the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, and admire the craftsmanship of eighteen sailing crafts at the Bodrum Maritime Museum. Make a day of it at Rabbit Island in Gumusluk, walk through the one metre water to dry land, take a hike to the top for some stunning sea views, and most of all, don’t forget to feed the rabbits. Whilst you are there take a look at the ancient city of Myndos, with its ruins of Christian churches, Roman roads, artefacts and monuments.
