We have just returned from a lovely two weeks in Villa Priene. From the moment we booked Tracey, the owner, was very considerate sending us details of places of interest and general information like the need for a visa. Nearer the time of our holiday she then offered to book car hire and get some shopping for us etc. During our stay she came each morning to clean the pool and outside area and completely cleaned the villa after our first week which was excellent. The villa itself is beautifully kept with amazing views over the surrounding hills and bay. It has beanbags, a hammock and even a swing which really adds an extra touch. The location is good with a large well stocked supermarket, bakery and a restaurant just a short walk away. There are also a few small towns nearby all with a harbour, beach and lots of restaurants and shops. Bodrum is also only about a 30 minute drive away.

Villa Priene was a lovely place to stay and certainly made our holiday an enjoyable one. It is perfect if you wish for a quiet, relaxing holiday with a touch of comfort and style. As a young group of friends we found the property very accommodating. It is the perfect accommodation for a small group of friends of any age or even young families. Tracey and Martin were both lovely and friendly and made such an effort to come by most days and keep the pool and outdoor area clean and tidy which I thought was really nice and they were very helpful in providing information about the local activities. The upstairs terrace is beautiful and the view is indescribable, pictures do not do it justice. It really is one of the best features of the house. The few neighbours that we did see were very friendly and said hello without fail everytime we passed their door. The property is slightly outside of the main towns but the surrounding areas are fairly easy to access. Hiring a car would be best but we managed to get by on the local buses and cabs. There is a great place called the terrace just five minutes away from the villa and the owner and his staff were very accommodating and extremely friendly. The food is great, presentation is beautiful and the views are amazing ! They also have wifi which they kindly allow you to use even if you are not eating there, however the food is great so you really should!! Overall our holiday was lovely and relaxed and the villa really was home from home. Small touches around the villa such as the candles and plantpots really make it a pleasure to stay in. Thankyou Tracey for being such a great host. I would recommend this villa to any one who is looking to relax in peaceful and comfortable surroundings ! Thanks for a lovely time.

The sofa does not really converts in a double bed, it wes sufficient for children may be not for a couple and not as confortable as a bed that was the only point a little bit insufficient

An absolute gem of a place 5 of 5 A very clean, well furnished and comfortable villa that had everything I needed and comes with beautiful views over the Aegean sea. Villa Priene is tastefully decorated and maintained by Tracey who is extremely welcoming and willing to help where she can to ensure a very pleasant and enjoyable holiday. The roof terrace and pool area provides a spacious and amazing space for alfresco living and the new bar and BBQ just perfect for enjoying the warm Mediterranean evenings. The villa is situated in a quiet and private area of Gümüslük with a supermarket, local restaurant and beach all within walking distance and Bodrum easily accessible by public transport. There is also parking available for a car which is the ideal way to explore the surrounding area. Definitely worth the 5 star rating, definitely worthy of recommendation and definitely a place I would stay again. 100% satisfied. Review Submitted: 16-Feb-2018 Date of Stay: February 2018

Heaven on earth 5 of 5 This villa is out of this world. It's in a quiet place- just 5 villas on the site- yet it is just a 5 min walk from the road from where you can get a dolmus to the quaint fishing village, called Gumusluk, just 10 mins away. You are also just a bus ride away from Turgetreis- for banks/ market etc, and Bodrum- where they have a big ancient castle. Also in Bodrum they have a great amphitheatre, built into the rocks, where they have concerts/ dance performances. Then again if you fancy the big footy matches then Yalikavak or Turgetreis are just a bus ride away. The villa comfortably holds 6, in 2 double bedrooms & 1 twin. I of these has a lovely en-suite bathroom with a bath & twin sinks ! The views are great- mountains, the sea... There is a lovely clean big private pool and there is loads of space to sunbathe... either on the ample covered decking upstairs, or by the pool. Personally 1 of the highlights for me was lying on the decking listening to Bob Marley, drinking a Malibu & lemonade.....bliss... The villa is fully equipped. The owner, Trace, is very attentive & really cares about her home. She is easily contactable if needed. I can't wait to lounge around there again this summer. Heavenly!

Great villa in a wonderfull location 5 of 5 Villa Prienne is a fantastic villa fully equipped and looked after by the owner Trace, to whom nothing is too much trouble. Perfectly located to explore the surrounding area either by car or the local Dolmus! We are a family of four with two teenage boys and we all had a great time staying here, we will most certainly be back. Review Submitted: 21-Aug-2017 Date of Stay: August 2017

Great property in an amazing location, everything you could ask for and more! 5 of 5 I stayed here with my family, 6 of us in total, for our first family holiday in a long time. Both the Villa and Tracey were amazing, the villa is equipped with everything you need to have an amazing holiday and Tracey is happy to help out at any time (she even come and got us when we got lost coming from the airport to the villa). Pool is a decent size and we loved spending our evenings on the roof terraces. We rented a 7 seater car for our stay and I would definitely recommend getting one, as many of the places we attended all required driving too, that being said i believe that the taxis run quite local. The locals are very friendly and we ate some amazing food at restaurants in Gumusluk and the neighbouring towns of Yalikavak and Turgutreis. We hope to return one day!

Feels Like Home :o)) 5 of 5 After having previously stayed at Villa Priene, back in 2014 - We where extremely anxious to get back, This time extending our Holiday, from last time, to 2 weeks. Our holiday here this time surpassed what we had previously experienced, all our previous memories came flooding back. Meeting Tracy was like seeing an old friend again. A gem of a host - Nothing is too much hassle, went out of her way to ensure our stay was as good as it could be. The Villa has had improvements made since our last time. Nicely decorated, a brilliant garden terrace, which is nicely enhanced by the many twinkle lights that are on display - This makes for a perfect place to sit in an evening, with a drink, gazing at the stars. Free WiFi was also a perk we could enjoy this time around too. Which meant we could keep in contact with relatives back home and share the joys we where all experiencing. A Kodi box had been recently purchased by Tracy, this meant access to Music, Tv Shows and Movies, where just at our fingertips, to enjoy on the big TV screen, in the living area. The Villa was fully equipped with all your household needs. There was no going short on anything. We would recommend this Villa to anybody - And I'm confident, anyone who goes will have as good a time as we did. We hope to have ourselves a 3rd Holiday at Villa Priene in the near future!
