We are a family of 8 and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definately return if we all get together again.

Villa Hazel, Kalkan,Turkey

Family from Bletchingley, United Kingdom

Good value for money at the up-market resort of Kalkan. Straighforward walk downhill to the town but get a taxi back since the return journey is steep, and hot in August. A roomy villa which is not obvious from the photographs and most bedrooms have their own ensuite! Pool is a good depth all round and well-kept during our entire stay. Pool lights for night-time fiddly to locate but worked fine once we knew where the switch was. Roger, the villa manager, very helpful with just the right amount of contact. Patio and pool area fairly private - only one villa next door and one villa across the road. We cooked in a few nights and found all the pots/pans that we needed. Complimentary welcome pack very helpful and due to our flights being delayed we arrived very late at about 00:30 but were welcomed by Roger and shown around. A few seats on the first floor balcony or on the top deck sunning area would be a great addition. The outdoor dining table is ready for some tlc in the winter maintenance months however it didnt affect our enjoyment of our holiday at this villa. We hired a car which was tricky to park in the lower parking area and there is a much easier driveway at the upper ground floor level. Very handy local shop on the main road to Islamlar, behind the villa and about 400 yard walk uphill - fresh bread daily 29p / 1TRL - you can walk there without needing a hire car. Local supermarkets have taxis outside ready to take you/your shopping back to the villa.

This is a beautiful villa about 20 minutes walk from the harbour and the restaurants in Kalkan. ( which is a great place to shop and eat) Plenty of taxis available to get back to the villa.
We had a smooth airport pick up and transfer organised by the owner. The pool is beautiful- and very welcome in the heat. The views from the villa are amazing especially from the roof.
We had some problems with the electricity cutting out ( affecting mainly sockets in the kitchen/ 2 air conditioning units and the washing machine) Roger the property manager  efficiently organised an electrician the same day we reported it. Unfortunately the fault recurred over 3 days which was a bit inconvenient as we had to juggle bedrooms  and we ran out of clean towels.Luckily we didnt need to use all the bedrooms. I understand a repair has been organised which will fix the problem permanently
 looking at the  previous comments-we had plenty of cups/ plates etc. and there were 4 parasols which was plenty for round the pool.
 One suggestion-It would have been nice to have some comfy outdoor chairs either on the patio or on the roof to " chill" in the evenings.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the villa- we had a great time apart from the electricity problems.

Family from Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom

We loved our holiday in Villa Breeze.

Location is ideal, Kalkan is a great town, the villa facilities were great - the pool was perfect and always pristine, the pool table was fun, we used the barbecue, it was sunny (which always helps!), and there were no problems with insects which have near enough ruined holidays in other places with a similar climate, so thats one less thing for you to worry about if youre reading this.

The kitchen might have been a bit small if there were loads of us, but there were only 2, and we took the guide books advice and almost always ate out anyway, so it certainly wasnt a problem for us.

Minor negatives - hot water was unreliable at first, but they happily got tradespeople to come around until it was fixed. And the wi-fi was intermittent at working with mobiles, although it was fine with the laptop.

Thanks to Roger for helping us while we were there, and to David for always being on hand to help out from the UK. We will recommend Villa Breeze to friends and family.

What a lovely week we"ve just spent at this wonderful villa in august, my party being 5 adults &amp; 5 children ageing from 17months-16 yrs. The villa, the location, the views, amazing, absolutely loved every minute of it just wished we had booked two weeks, the villa is very home from home, very spacious and the pool&amp; games room were in constant use by us all as temps got to high 30s. We spent many an evening round the pool watching the sun go down. Kalkan is quite hilly but that wasnt a problem as taxis up and down only cost 10 lira £3, we ate at some lovely restaurants on the harbour,Seaport, Ilyada, and trio all fabulous food, the swordfish is a must yummy!!! Everyone really friendly, oldy worldy cobbled streets and numerous shops to explore. Roger the villa manager is a sound man always on hand if you need anything popped in a few times  to see if everthing was ok, recommended a few places to visit .Kalkan beachpark is a must had a fab day out there, free boat taxi over to the park and back. Patara beach lovely and you get to see pataras old ruins on the way in the taxi, 100 lira return not bad! Thanks David and caroline for letting us stay at your wonderful villa and will be recommending it to our friends and family. And we will definately be returning in the future!!! thanks again.

Friends from Walsall, United Kingdom

We had a wonderful 2 weeks at Villa Breeze in August which provided fabulous accommodation for our party of 4 adults and 5 children ranging in age from 8 to 16.  The pool area and games room were in constant use and we absolutely loved the position of the villa with all the amazing views of the mountains and sea.

Roger, who managed the property, was always on hand to deal with any queries, requests or problems we had.  He recommended restaurants, shops, boat hire and organised taxis to beach clubs.  Nothing was too much trouble.

Kalkan is the most gorgeous town, with a beautiful marina, fantastic shops and restaurants in lovely cobbedly streets with so much character.  We hired a car for a couple of days and went to one of the local beaches, Patara beach.  It was a lovely sandy beach but we all preferred the beach clubs in Kalkan which are better for snorkelling and have great facilities for the kids.

All in all, a great holiday in a lovely villa situated in a beautiful place.  Perfect!

 From Ampthill, United Kingdom

We would definately recommend this villa. Its very spacious (we were a party of eight adults and had loads of room), its very modern, extremely well furnished and met \ exceeded all our expectations. The views from the property over Kalkan bay are simply stunning.

The owners could not be more helpful and the local manager was on hand to help with any problems once wed arrived.

The pool was large and was cleaned regualrly which made it a wonderful thing to have and come back to after a long hot day in the sun. 

We usualy like to try different destinations each year so dont often consider going back. Weve made an exception in this case though!

 From Preston, United Kingdom

Firstly, thanks David and Caroline, what a beautiful home you have and thanks also for the friendly conversations we had via email before we went it made all the difference. You answered so many of our queries.
Now for our review.
The villa is in a fantastic position to benefit from one of the most beautiful views we have seen and this could be seen from just about anywhere in the villa. The rooms were very spacious and tastefully decorated and the furnishings were to a very high standard.
From the minute we stepped off the plane we felt looked after and this was all down to the villa manager-Albay. He has an excellent knowledge of the area and speaks brilliant english so is available to help with anthing. He owns the Breeze Bar in town where the food and hospitality cant be beaten. 
This was our first holiday in Kalkan staying in the villa Breeze but I know it wont be the last.

The Villa and its views over Kalcan need to be experienced,words are not enough to describe the feeling when looking out for the first time.The pool man was exceptional,delivering essentials every morning eg. fresh bread,milk,juice etc.
The eating out in Kalcan is also a delight and the service and standard of food was the best I have experienced,during many years of travelling abroad. The Salt and Pepper restaurant
being the highlight.Value for money wise ,we were a party of 8 and the most we paid for a superb meal including drinks was 400Lira(under £200.
Also I would recommend a boat trip for the day,plus a MUD BATH.

What a fantastic holiday we have had in Kalkan. We were a party of 4 adults and 5 children and were here from 14/08/10 to 28/08/10. I am reading the previous review posted on 17/08/10 and I am amazed and a bit gutted for the owners. Please do not be put off.  I guess we really are a nation that likes to complain, my only advice would have simply been that if you have an issue then contact the agent because that is what they are there for. We had 1 issue with the air con in one of the rooms, and guess what - within 3 hours it was fixed. We asked for some more glasses and a pan and they were delivered to us on the same day. Suffice to say we were very well looked after. Cooking was no problem at all, even with 3 strange vegetarians and even stranger children, meaning that we had to prepare up to 3 different dishes at a time. There is nothing we would change, the property inside and out is fantastic, and what stunning views. And thank you very much to Ayrton the Pool man who brought us essential groceries each morning. Everybody in Kalkan is so nice and friendly and we certainly recommend Ramis Restaurant - best food in town. David and Caroline - thank you very much.
