Description I Remember the Stars: Bitez

Just ten minutes from Bodrum, this villa is a cosy escape close to the Turkish coast. We're big fans of both bedrooms having en-suite (albeit somewhat dated) bathrooms, although our eyes are on the main with its open-air whirlpool tub. It's also situated on one level, so it'd be a good fit for families with children or guests who struggle with stairs. Outside, the garden offers a private swimming pool ideal for afternoon dips and shady spots where you can sit back with a glass of wine and relax. Factor in the charming coastal villages and Blue Flag beaches within driving distance, and you can see why we like it.

Home truths:
*This villa is on a single level, but there are a few steps throughout the home and garden
*The bathrooms in this home is not quite up to Plum's usual standards – we've let this one into our collection on account of the outdoor spaces and location
*The whirlpool bath sits directly in the bedroom, so it does lack privacy
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you'll need to bring your own cot linen
*Complimentary pool towels are included with your stay
*We suggest renting a car to make the most of the location – there's off-road parking available
*If you're travelling by plane, Milas-Bodrum Airport is 41 kilometres away
