Villa Fanti gave us our best accommodation experience during a 6 week trip through Turkey. Our room (#205) had both a balcony and patio with a fresh ocean breeze and a commanding view of the marina, as the hotel is located atop a gentle incline. The rooms are tastefully appointed with a refreshing light blue and white color palette. We appreciated the four poster bed. Its location is superb, just a minute from the waterfront. At its base is an excellent and reasonably priced seafood restaurant (Damaki) and Villa Fanti's breakfast is the best we had in all of Turkey.
Our first 3 nights were deeply satisfying, so we kept extending our stay by a day or two, until almost two weeks passed. Despite Fanti's excellent amenities, what really made our stay special was the friendly service of the manager, Miteh. He always took care of us with a warm smile and "no problem" attitude.
Cesme is an ideal town for a week or more, with day trips to Aliçati's charming old town. We look forward to staying at Villa Fanti again.
