Full of character, this beautifully presented villa successfully combines modern fixtures and fittings with the style and ambiance of a traditional ottoman style property. Light, airy and deceptively spacious, the villa benefits from stunning views across Kalkan Bay to the town beyond. The outside space includes an infinity pool, terrace with sun-beds and parasols, dining area with large marble table, seating and canopy shade. There is also a courtyard with adjoining, versatile covered "garden room" with comfortable seating. Inside, the property is furnished to a high standard with a large open-plan living space plus cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, the Ottoman feel is accentuated by travertine tiled bathrooms and beautiful dark wood ceilings in both en suite bedrooms. Each bedroom has access onto the large first floor balcony. Villa Josephina is just 3 minutes walk from the nearest beach park where you may swim in the sea, relax on sunbeds, enjoy a meal or drink, or catch the regular boat service over to Kalkan harbour and town centre less than 10 minutes away.
The large first floor balcony which runs around the front of the property is furnished with tables and chairs and offers the perfect vantage point for watching the boats in the bay during the day and the lights of the town at night.
