United Kingdom

Lovely location, up a slight hill, but nothing to worry about.  The use of the Artemisia hotel up the road is a big benefit, amazing pool and views.  The villa could do with some modernisation, but nothing drastically needs doing.  Air conditioning worked very well, although we couldn't work out how to turn it on initially,(there is a remote control for it).  The other villas nearby are full of friendly nice people, many of them regular visitors by the look of it.  The shared pool was lovely, well maintained and clean.  Lovely setting, not much to do in Ovacik itself, but you can get to Hisaronu and Oludeniz etc, for about £6 in a taxi, or catch the local bus that runs very regular for 50p a person.  All in all, we had a great time, and would definitely recommend this villa, forgot to mention, the wifi was surprisingly good, was able to surf the net without any trouble.  One thing that I would recommend, it would be great if the tv could access some uk channels, as it was we couldn't watch any tv, as there were no channels available.  To me this would be a big selling point, because in that Turkish heat, it would be nice to go into the villa to watch tv, especially for young kids who would need to get out of the sun at certain points.(channels like cbeebies,bbc1, itv etc), all freeview channels.  Anyway, we really enjoyed ourselves, and would seriously consider visiting again.

Just returned from Turkey- villa better than I expected with a lot of outdoor space and good views. Pool area was very well cared for and mostly empty so was glad we hadn't paid extra for a private pool. Shops/restaurants were closer than stated in the advert- two small shops within approx. 300 yds. and restaurant at bottom of the hill. There is a hill to climb to get to the villa but this also gives a breeze which is needed in the heat. Used the local bus service which runs to the beach or local towns- this is cheap and frequent. Will definitely return to Turkey. The taxi service organised by the owner was excellent.

Nice looking complex with a good size villa,plenty of outside space. There is space to park a car by the villa.Pool excellent when it was warm enough to use. Good value laundry service available. Far enough out of town to be quiet in October and close enough to get to Oludeniz beach down the hill. The kitchen equipment needs updating but overall value for money.The television/DVD player is excellent.

Great complex for kids. The only thing I was disappointed was that it was advertised as having a washing machine but it didnt. I have 3 young children and really needed one, but other than that a great holiday destination.

The en-suite toilet in the double room seemed to have some issue with the drain and so was a little smelly, did not spread to the rest of the house providing the door was kept shut though.  Overall excellent and a lovely part of the world.

Really lovely place to stay.  The villa was very clean and the whole complex, ie pool area etc was immaculately kept.  The villa is in a quiet area with beautiful views across Ocavik, Hisanoru, the mountains and sea in the distance.  Restaurants just down the road in abundance and livelier Hisanoru just a five minutes by Dolmus bus.  The buses run every few minutes.  Absolutely beautiful sunsets.  The villa has comfortable beds and sitting area and everything you need for a nice holiday.  No television channels but you can watch DVDs and play CDs, however this was nice as it made you feel really away from it all!!!  Only downside for some would be that the villa is located up quite a steep hill, which could be a problem for some but for us it helped work off the food we ate in the restaurants which on the whole was very nice.  Highly recommended for a holiday where you can choose to have total relaxation around a nice pool or a choice of lovely beaches and a quiet night or a more livelier night if you wish.  Had a really lovely holiday and would definitely go again.

What a holiday! We had a fantastic time, the villa was perfect and the scenery even more so. The staff at the villas and the nearby hotel were lovely and couldnt do enough for us. The waterpark was in easy walking distance which pleased the kids no end. Our one regret was that we didnt hire a car to explore the area further, but the dolmus was fun and the taxi drivers all very helpful. We found Hisonarou best for eating out and the fairground and go karts went down a treat with our kids. Sunset on Olu Deniz beach with a cocktail in hand was hard to beat for us adults though!

 From Blackpool, United Kingdom

Villa was excellent, as described, and overlooking the pool.  The complex was well looked after and clean and tidy.  All the people on the complex were very friendly.  The complex was well located, quiet, but within easy reach of local amenities, with an excellent view of the mountain we paraglided from - including our 10 year old!  The shop at the bottom of the hill had a good selec tion of food and drink - even delivering so we didnt have to walk up and down in the heat!!
There were excellent, reasonalbly priced local restaurants with good Turkish food.
Dolmus and taxis were very reliable and cheap.
Looking forward to our next holiday............
