As soon as you enter the hall, an air of contemporary calm greets you.  The villa is beautifully furnished, welcoming, light and spacious.  Walk to your right to find the 1st of 5 bedrooms, this has 1 single bed (which can be rolled out into a double), wardrobes, bedside cabinet and en-suite shower room.  On the left of the hallway, a large double bedroom, with lots of wardrobe and cupboard space greets you.  Again, this 2nd bedroom has an en-suite shower room and two sets of French doors, 1 leading to a small private balcony at the side of the villa, the other leads onto the sunny front terrace.

From these bedrooms, walk down the travertine stairs and on the left is the stylish lounge and sitting area complete with comfy sofas, TV & DVD, CD system, coffee table and small table and chairs for indoor snacks.  Patio doors lead from here to the huge terrace which spans the back of the villa and overlooks the pool and Aegean – the terrace has an uncovered area for maximum ray catching and covered, shady area for those who prefer not to take in the summer sun.  Step back along the hallway, to one of the two modern and well equipped kitchens.  This kitchen has French doors leading to the covered terrace area, ideal for al fresco dining, and another set of French doors overlooks the side gardens giving access from the gardens to the pool.

Back inside, follow the stairs down to the pool and garden level.  Here is another lounge with patio doors leading to pool terrace area, a large double bedroom and huge bathroom (bath not a shower).  This can be a complete self-contained unit, as there is a door between the bathroom and the next room – either lock it and make it a private bedroom suite or, keep it open as additional walk through space for a family.  Likewise, because there is another full kitchen at the other side of this floor, plus separate WC (and storage/utility rooms), the whole ground floor could be used as a private apartment.

Back up stairs, at first floor level, is a casual, comfy seating area, ideal for reading a book or just admiring the spectacular views of Gundogan across the bay and out to sea.  French doors open up onto the wooden decked balcony area, the perfect place for a sundowner! Across the landing is the 4th large double bedroom.  Plenty of space here, this room has steps leading up to a huge dressing area covered from floor to ceiling with wardrobe and cupboard space and an en-suite shower and wash basin.  The 5th and final bedroom can be found up a few steps above the casual seating area, this has two single beds and the use of a shower room with WC and wash basin across the hallway.

All in all, excellent family holiday accommodation.  Local market day (bazaar) Wednesday.

Regular Dolumus (Mini Bus Service) passes right by the house!

Outside, the private pool and sun terrace beckons………… a large lawned garden surrounds the pool, so plenty of space for children to play, or for BBQs during the evenings.  The views out to sea from the pool terrace are breathtaking – just sit back, relax and watch the fabulous sunsets and twinkling lights of the bay light up with a cool Efes or glass of Cankaya, local white wine……………. What more could you want?

Shops (Bakals) - there are many small mini-markets, shops (Bakal in Turkish) which are open late at night.  A short distance away and Gundogan itself has larger supermarkets etc.
 
Each Wednesday, Gundogan hosts a vendor's market with a range of fruit, vegetables, olives, cheeses, herbs and spices, clothing, souvenirs etc for sale.  Worth a visit as it is a very colourful sight.  The larger market in Yalikavak (next village) is held each Thursday.

Banks/supermarkets/petrol stations etc
Gundogan village has several ATM machines around its central beach and restaurant area.  As well as the many shops, there is a Migros supermarket also in the centre.  Yalikavak (the nearest town/village) is a 5 minute drive away.  Here you will find several banks, Garanti & Finansbank are two good ones, these have ATMs.  Large supermarkets, Carrefour, Migros and Tansas can also be found on the outskirts of Yalikavak, whereas just outside Bodrum (Ortakent area) there is a very large Kipa (Tesco) and next door, Metro (Makro) cash and carry - visitors can apply for a day pass for the latter.

Petrol stations - on the road from Gundogan to Yalikavak near the large supermarkets above.
