What people are saying
Black tree is very special. Set high up in the mountains there is no humidity and a gentle cooling breeze. The stone cottages are comfortable and cool and are moments from a welcoming pool which has shaded cushion areas to rest in. The restaurant uses organic produce grown on the farm and the meals cooked by Ayhan are just delicious.July 2011, traveled with family
Making lifelong friends and being in the warmth of infamous Turkish hospitality has previously caused me to feel like never going anywhere again but Turkey and now I dont feel I would want to stay anywhere else but Black Tree. I look forward in the future to seeing the farm in Spring, all green and lush and late late summer when the fire is built in the wonderful looking restaurant!August 2011, traveled with friends
We awoke to blue skies, stunning views of the mountains and the kids went wild with excitement! The Turkish breakfast was superb as was all the food in the restaurant. Fresh produce grown just yards from the restaurant was used extensively in the cooking so it was delicious. There are daily specials to choose from and Anthea and Bob were always on hand to help with a large gin and tonic or a Turkish coffee or teaAugust 2011, traveled with family
Blacktree is a special place where you can unwind in whatever way you want. Anthea and Bob can't do enough for you and will do their best to make your holiday great. If you like good food, relaxing and good company it is a great place to beAugust 2011

About Blacktree Tree Farm and Cottages
Black Tree Farm and Cottages is a British- Turkish family run business that was begun in 1994 with the aim to be as sustainable as possible. We fell in love with the land and property at Karaagac (Black Tree) nestled in the midst of a relaxed and friendly Turkish farming community, and not far from the stunning southwestern Mediterranean waters. We wanted to enhance a neglected spot, rather than do the ‘easy’ thing by choosing the ‘ideal’ spot, which eventually would become overcrowded and so no longer sustainable. For this reason we run the Organic farm next to 9 unique cottages and an old atmospheric farmhouse in an area of 70,000 sq. m.
Black Tree farm is now certified organic by (Institute for Marketecology) IMO. We grow a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, and make our own bread, olive oil, preserves and other foods. Meals at Black Tree are prepared using local organic produce whenever possible. This conscious and healthy lifestyle is one of the aspects we value sharing so much with our guests.
Just like us, visitors to Black Tree are those who enjoy genuine village life, peaceful unspoiled surroundings, clear night skies, delicious Turkish food, and who ultimately enjoy the luxury of being off the beaten track.
