FIDANKA HOUSES - Kalkan / Antalya

DESCRIPTION

Feeling like a large house rather than a hotel Fidanka Houses will gently ease away all your stresses. Trailed in pretty flowers and plants, the stoned wall exterior of the building looks as if it has stood there for centuries yet it is a relative newcomer, built in 2002.

Neatly carved into the hillside, this hotel is not for the less mobile but the views of the bay more than make up for the number of steps throughout the property. Inside the bohemian decor is a world away from many modern, soulless hotels. Each room is individual and personal, homely touches are around every corner. Rooms have either one or two bedroom and all have views out to sea as well as terrace to view them from.

The tiered terraces around the House are full of plants, flowers and water features which make you feel as if you are in secret garden deep in the heart of Turkey. With sweeping views over Kalkan Bay, the pool area here is special. As well as the pool there is a small sunbathing platform and a bar should you need some liquid refreshment.

Another great feature of this property is the roof top restaurant where traditional Turkish food is created daily as well as international favourites. For a different dining experience there is also a BBQ garden with stone oven. Kalkan Beach is only a 250 metre walk away – which is far enough when carrying bags of towels, sun cream and inflatables. The resort centre with all the usual amenities is only 1.5km away and easily accessible by car.
