Small, cosy and ideal for a couple, Mandarin Cottage is well located in the resort centre and less than a five minute walk to the beach and seafront promenade lined with small shops and restaurants.

The cottage, originally the guest house, stands at the far end of the gardens from the main house which is occupied by the owner, Christine, who decided some years ago to make her home in Turkey. The cottage kitchen opens onto a furnished vine-covered terrace, a nice spot for a barbecue, whilst the bedroom, upstairs, has a large balcony overlooking the gardens.

For lazy evenings in there is also a Turkish ‘kosk’ or seating area with rugs and cushions for relaxing. The gardens abound with fruit and vegetables, walnut, plum and lemon trees and, in season, guests are welcome to pick their own.

Similar properties to Mandarin Cottage are Garden Cottage and Olive Cottage both located within Bitez.
