Villa Dreams

Selçuk


Villa Dreams offers great views, an outdoor swimming pool and a communal kitchen. It has 10 modern standard rooms and two big family rooms with shiny wood floors and balconies. The rooftop terrace affords fantastic castle views. Located 1.5km east of the centre, but there's a free shuttle six times a day.

Each room has a balcony, with eight looking to the Ayasuluk Fortress and three to the garden (where some turtles lounge around their own pool). Ask the staff to point out the three castles visible from the bar of the roof terrace.
