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.

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!

Our second time at Villa Diana and 1st time for our guest. The Villa is very welcoming especially on arrival at night with all the lights on and the blueness of the pool. Really lovely to see the water machine in the dinning room cold and fresh. I even remembered where the light switch was for the top light out the front. The Villa was clean and fresh. The new showers made a big difference especially in the front bedroom and loved the big walk-in shower in the main bathroom. Great to have aircon in all rooms especially when you are getting ready to go out. Every morning we were greeted by the cats some more friendly than others. One would always sit on the chair just outside the dinning room. The best place to watch the morning sun hit the pool. The pool was lovely and warm. Have to admit the pool man was not there every day when he should have been. But did clean it well when he did come. We loved being able to sit around the pool and not have to fight for a sun bed. Desree was as always very helpful and sorted out issues very quickly. She is very welcoming and was sad to say goodbye. The value for money was great lovely Villa which is managed well and contact from Pete was top notch. We hope that the cats are still being feed and the kitten will be more friendly in time to come. We would highly recommend staying at Villa Diana and hope to be able to come back again soon.

Villa Diana is amazing. Every thing you need is here. Great communication with owner. Pool cleaned daily. Desree who meets and greets is great. Lots of information about the area at Villa, but we know Calis very well. Fully air conditioned, which was a godsend, as some days it was 45' . Already booked for next year twice. Nothing was too much trouble for Desree or the owner Peter, who will go above and beyond to see you are OK. 5*

Thank you for a lovely break at Villa Diana. We all enjoyed it immensely. We are regulars to Calis but had not been to Villa Diana before. It was all we wanted it to be and would love to stay again. Desree (local agent) was superb. She booked a couple of hire cars and an extra taxi for us and always seemed to be available. This helped make our stay even better. The Turkish neighbours were also very friendly. The pool and seating area were ideal. Sitting out at night was so relaxing so after 24 nights here it was difficult to return home.

We have just spent 3 weeks at Villa Diana and are definitely going back. Desree , local agent, was very helpful with anything we needed to know and was always on the end of the phone. The villa had everything that we needed. There is a covered outside eating area with plenty of sun beds, seating and parasols to use around the pool. The pool was cleaned daily and there is an outside shower to use. The garden is well tended and looks beautiful. Inside there is an open plan kitchen, lounge and dining room with water cooler. There is everything you need in the kitchen and all rooms have updated air conditioning units. The upstairs bathroom is large and has a shower and separate bath. This villa is a hidden gem amongst local Turkish families. It is a 10 minute walk to local supermarket, Migros and a 15 minute walk into Calis . This was a pleasant walk alongside the river. The sun was on the pool all day, the shaded area was a great place to take a little time out. The owner Pete was very quick to reply to inquiries and helpful. Transfers to and from the airport were faultless. Looking forward to our next visit 😎

We have recent come back from a fantastic holiday and stay at Villa Diana. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the villa home from home. The villa is close enough to the restaurants/bars and beach but far enough away to relax around the pool. The transfers were excellent and value for money. The communication was brilliant any questions we had were dealt with promptly. We would recommend this villa to other families and i am sure we will return again for another holiday in the near future. Thank you.

We had a lovely time at Villa Diana this summer in June. The travel company gave us friendly transport from the airport. On arrival it was dark so couldn't make out where we were, but pulling up to the Villa our first impressions were the photos on this booking site do not do the place justice. It was stunning all lite up and the swimming pool was just so inviting we couldn't wait to dip our feet in. We were meet at the villa by Desree and her daughter with lovely friendly smiles and they both made a fuss over my friends little girl. Desree showed us round and brought out the spare bed for Millie in case she wouldn't sleep up stairs. The bedrooms were clean and the front bedroom over looks the pool. (The light above the balcony can be turned off by a switch behind the dressing table in front of the window). This bedroom also had its own bathroom with shower. The second bedroom was bigger and could take the spare bed, it over looked the mountains and local housing. All views were stunning especially the top floor room sun terrace, this was a great place to catch some sun if you don't mind the heat. There are a number of local shops near to the Villa who are very friendly and helpful, this also deliver and can be contacted via Whats app if you want to order a take away too. We would advise that you put a deposit down on a water pump and the very large bottles of water as this will save you time and money in the long run. The Villa has some lovely neighbours who are friendly, there are three local cats who like to sleep on the chairs on the terrace. These are very friendly when they get to know you but do try to get into the Villa if you leave the door open. We left a box of cat biscuits in the cupboard in the kitchen for the next visitors to feed them. There are a number of animals in the grounds of the small Turkish houses around and can be a little noisy at times from them. The first day we tried to use the cooker but it blew the fuses which was connected to the fridge. Desree quickly got a man out to sort the cook out as i needed the fridge on for my medication. Just to note the fan does stay on for over 30 mins once turned off and does stay hot for quite a while unlike most English cookers. All con units finally worked by the end our holiday but the company did clean every filter grid when fixing the second bedroom unit. The Swimming pool was lovely so good not having to get up at silly o'clock to get a sunbed, and you could stay in the pool for as long as you wanted without it being closed. The grounds of the villa has some lovely plants with beautiful flowers on them. The covered areas to the right of the pool as you look at the villa was well worth putting up, this had a table and chairs underneath which we used the most. The walk to the shops took about 10 minutes and you can reach the beach front from many directions. The weather was amazing which helped us all enjoy some well deserved rest at the Villa. The only thing I would now advise is when you check out if you have a late flight like we did try and book an extra night otherwise you would need to be out in time for them to clean. Desree was amazing and helped us get a room in a hotel on the beach front on our last day as our late check out changed as someone booked in straight after us. We would love to return to Calis again in the future and would recommend staying at Villa Diana its location is perfect and a lovely little villa to create amazing memories in. Peter the owner was very informative and answered questions even when we were at the Villa. Thank you Peter
