Villa No. 9 sits inside the Barbaros Thermal estate in Gazlıgöl. Its rose-pink façade, white stone quoins and balconies carry the warmth of an old Anatolian mansion, and it is surrounded by the roses, flowers and trees of the estate's shared garden.
The heart of the house is the thermal-pool hammam on the ground floor: a blue-tiled pool fills with hot spring water, while a marble basin and a bowl complete the ritual of a traditional hammam. The rest of the day drifts by on the open terrace, over a long breakfast or dinner.
Inside are a bright, pale-blue salon, a kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. With the estate's children's playground and shared garden, it is an easy home for families with children too.
