Villa Felicita is owned by myself and my wife. I am a retired Chartered Surveyor having spent the bulk of my career working for the Inland Revenue.
We intend to live in Dalyan to avoid the UK winters (definitely getting colder) and aim to come back to the UK from May to the end of September. We have three sons, all of whom have flown the nest (what joy!). We have 5 grandchildren and can't wait for them to have the opportunity of visiting us in Dalyan outside of the peak times
The Villa was not purchased as a holiday home, it is our home but will be available to rent during the times when we are in the UK, obviously to help defray the costs of ownership. Despite my attempts to stop my wife spending too much money on the finishes she just went ahead!

We went to Turkey for the first time on holiday in September 2007.

We had, like many people, dreamed of owning a property abroad but never did anything about it.

We had been in Dalyan for about half an hour when my wife said:" I'd like to live here".

I did something I would never advise one of my clients to do, I agreed to purchase the land and have a villa built, all this on my first holiday in Turkey.

It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made, by sheer luck it is in the most exclusive area of Dalyan (Maras). It is in a quiet peaceful area but the town centre and all facilities are within an easy, flat, 10-15 minute walk.
