Winter Villas with Heated Pool and Fireplace

A Mediterranean villa in winter

Türkiye’s south-west coast stays mild in winter, and along the Antalya and Lycian coasts days are often sunny and perfect for walking. For a quiet break away from the crowds, a remote-working stint or a New Year escape, a villa with a heated pool and a fireplace is hard to beat. Villas on this page are filtered for both features.

Best areas for winter

• Kalkan and Kaş: winter sunshine, quiet harbours, Lycian Way walks and a number of restaurants that stay open all year.
• Fethiye and Göcek: close to town, so supermarkets, the weekly market and services are easy to reach.
• Antalya, Belek and Side: golf courses that stay open through winter and a short transfer from the airport.
• Islamlar and the mountain villages: cooler and rarely snowy, ideal for peaceful days by the fire.

Always ask about the heating fee

Pool heating is the key cost of a winter rental. Many owners charge a daily heating fee on top of the nightly rate, which can vary with pool size and outside temperature. Before you agree on anything, clarify:

• Is pool heating charged per day or included, and what temperature is the pool heated to?
• How much notice does the owner need to heat the pool before arrival?
• Is the house heated by air conditioning, underfloor heating or the fireplace, and is firewood included?
• Is electricity charged separately?
• Is there a monthly rate for longer winter stays?

Practical tips

Some hotels and restaurants close in winter, so ask which shops and restaurants near the villa stay open. Generous indoor living space matters on rainy days. There is no booking on Villora: you contact the owner directly by WhatsApp, phone or email. Quote the VillaNo (for example KLKN-1129), ask about the deposit and cleaning fee, and check the Tourism Permit number required under Law 7464.
