Holiday house for rent on the Aegean coast of Turkey

The Mill House, a beautiful and spacious home, is one of the original stone buildings of the old Greek village of Domatia (now Eski Doğanbey) in north-western Turkey. It looks out at the forested hills of a national park and the delta of the Meander River that lazily flows into the azure waters of the Aegean.

Remnants of the old village mill, after which the house is named, are in the grounds. Renovated and refurbished in 1996, the house is surrounded by an oversized terraced garden alive with ancient olive, orange, tangerine, pomegranate and fig trees. Over the years new trees, pines, cypresses, magnolias and planes have been added

There are 120 square meters of living space in the house, divided into three units of equal size: an en-suite bedroom, a living room with terrace, and a kitchen-dining room.  2+1 can sleep on the first floor.

  For larger families, there is also an upper floor, which offers its own en-suite bedroom with a wide terrace and a panoramic view of the forest, the delta and the Aegean.

Amenities available include hot water, air-conditioning, washing machine, dishwasher and a traditional cooking stove.
