Villa Perla

Antalya


This authentic Ottoman place, snuggled around a courtyard complete with orange trees, pool, tortoises, and a fire on cold nights, feels like the ramshackle home of an exiled sultan. Its seven rooms, have features such as wooden ceilings, four-poster beds and folk-painted cupboards. The in-house patio restaurant is a romantic setting for a meal.
