Turkey. This villa is aloft a hillside in Ovacik near the resort of Fethiye and the large terrace off the two bedrooms absorbs a panorama of valley and mountains to the sea. You share a pool and gardens with residents of the other villas in the cluster, although for more private sunbathing there is a private garden with a fish pool opening off the second terrace. It comes with all its furnishings and there’s air conditioning and a wood-burning stove to combat any seasonal extremes. Yours for £87,990. Spot BluePhotograph: Spot BluePortugal.
