About

I was employed by Barclays Bank for over 31 years and was a senior IT manager when I took early retirement in 2005. In 2006 we fell in love with a villa we found in Calis. We furnished it to a high standard, named it Villa Diana and are now happy to share it with others to enjoy the wonders of Turkey.

It's a lovely spacious house 🏠 with really beautiful plants in the garden. It's well equipped and in a good location 10 minutes walk from the beach. The views are stunning with the sea, islands and mountains. There are bikes to ride with some good cycle paths. The promenade has many good restaurants, bars and shops. We went on a 12 island boat trip which was spectacular. I really recommend this property 👌

We have just got home from a week in Calis at Villa Diana, and wish we could of stayed for longer! The communication with Peter was excellent, and the airport transfers worked perfectly. Despite our flight being delayed and us not arriving at the villa until nearly midnight, Desree was still there to meet us in person. The layout of the villa worked perfectly for us as a group of 8 adults. It had everything you needed for a relaxing week away, and the pool and gardens were lovely. The neighbours behind the villa were very friendly and even gave us olives from their trees! And we loved the resident cats that greeted us every morning! From the goats across the road, to the sounds of the cockerels crowing, and the calls from the Mosque, you really do feel a million miles away from the hassles of UK life! We've been lucky enough to stay in Calis many times over the years, and absolutely love it. We did have some initial reservations about the villa's location, but there was absolutely no need to worry. There is a Migros supermarket only about 10 minutes walk away, and a coffee shop & bakery. Then probably about the same walk again to the main town and restaurants. We tended to stroll one way and then taxi back, as it was very hot in August, but even that wasn't always necessary. You do have a very busy road to cross when walking into town or to the beach, but again not really an issue. There is a half way point to cross one lane safely at a time, and we managed it with no issues. There are lots of useful contact numbers on the fridge in the villa, and we managed to successfully whattsapp the water delivery man, who delivered us some more water for the dispenser! And we ordered a Chinese takeaway one evening to be delivered, which we ate outside in the garden with all the beautiful garden lights and candles. Would highly recommend using Fethiye Lovers to book any trips. We've used them many times and they seemed by far the best priced (if you pay in £!) This time we went on the 12 island boat trip and also went quad biking. Both were brilliant fun, and they offer door to door service picking you up right outside the villa. If you don't want a full on trip, then even just taking the water taxi across from Calis to Fethiye is really enjoyable. It's fairly cheap, takes about 30 minutes and much nicer than a car journey! They run until about 11:30pm in the summer too, so brilliant if you want to hop over for dinner and back. We miss Turkey already, and would absolutely love to return to Calis and Villa Diana again next year!!!

Absolutely fantastic like home from home everything you needed was here, we ate out most nights a short 10 to 15 min walk to town but as it was so hot we ordered a taxi from the tuguy hotel round the corner, contact with Peter before we arrived was fantastic and while there deseree couldn't do enough to help even helping with a takeaway order the night we stayed in, would highly recommend this villa and can't wait to return

Very pleasant. Washing machine hard to use as the start button wouldn't work unfortunately.

Hi Carolyn, Very glad that you enjoyed your stay at Villa Diana. Sorry about the washing machine, the start button can be a little 'temperamental', but happy that you got it to work eventually. I will look into this problem when out at the villa ourselves at the end of the season. Please note that we offer a 'returning guest' discount, if you ever want to come back.

The villa was perfect for all your holiday needs. The local area has loads to offer, and the Sunday market was well worth a visit. Had fun haggling and came home with some bargains. Peter and Desree were great, and there if you had need of them. We've booked already for next year, and for longer!

Just returned from a few weeks in Villa Diane, the locals were helpful and very polite. We had a fantastic time, couldn’t want for anything, definitely going back. Desree was always available for help and advise, transfers to and from the airport were faultless. Thank you Peter Andrew

Fantastic! From the moment we enquired to stay to the day we left. Both Pete and desree are fab. They answer all questions very quickly. Desree helps with everything from meeting you when you arrive to helping you.book trips ( which were with fethiye lovers and all went perfectly thanks to lucky who was brilliant) the villa itself is home from home everything you need and more. Very clean and tidy. The pool is great my 4 kids spent most of their time in it. The cats are there most days but are friendly and like some food followed by a but of fuss. The villa was faultless. Walk.to shop is a quick 10 minutes and to the beach couple of minutes further. We loved it so much we are already planning in booking it again and can not wait to return!
