Our stay at Villa Kara was delightful. The villa is large and very light which in Turkey is unusual. The pool at 29 degrees C was lovely, the steps making access easy and the pool depth meant that it was suitable for non or less confident swimmers. One very memorable experience was hearing the nightingales beautiful song in the mornings and evenings. It was a pleasure staying in the village of Karadonlar whose inhabitants are very hard working farmers and extremely friendly. We will return to this spectacular accommodation.

VILLA KARA PRIVATE VILLA WITH HEATED POOL

Couple from Barnoldswick, United Kingdom

Our holidays were great in villa Kara ! We absolutely loved the villa, in particular the patio and terrace leading to the pool. Our kids spent half their time in the pool. The climate in July and August is very hot, so a pool is a must (as well as air-co).  There is plenty of shade around the villa and pool (patio, palm tree).

The lady from two houses down the road is really friendly and takes excellent care of the villa, pool, garden and guests. The agent, Mehmet, came over on the first evening and had good tips for trips and restaurants. We also got an instant reply on every text sent. 

We enjoyed visiting the area, you can make nice walks in fields and hills since the villa is located in rural area. On the other hand, you need a car since restaurants and shops are at least a few miles away. We loved the 12 island boat trip (in Gocek with Falcon I, recommended by Mehmet). Also Dalyan and Kaunos (and the climb to top of acropolis) are worth to visit.

It was a fantastic time at Villa Kara. Beautifully situated and absolutely clean. Richard J. has absolutely great people who care about this property. We are very appreciated that we had contact with the locals and were even invited to a fantastic Börek.
We as a family can only recommend this villa and we will certainly come back. Nice pool, good facilities of the house, everything was clean (very clean), nice garden and absolute silence (except for the Muhezin :-)). But the one holding it. Many, many thanks for the quick and good service. Family Graf from Switzerland

I think the first thing to say about this property is to not be put off by the lack of reviews. It almost put us off, but the property is great, and has a visitor book actually in the property itself which is chock-a-block full of positive reviews. Obviously by the time youve read them, youre already there so i thought it worth mentioning online....!!
We spent 2 weeks in July\Aug 2013 in Villa Kara, and had a great time. The villa is on one floor, each of the rooms are really spacious, especially the bathrooms. The air con works well and is every bedroom and the lounge. The pool has lights and is quite big compared to other properties weve been to.
The villa is not overlooked by any other property, and as you might see from the photos backs up onto a cliff face. What this does is allow you to have an hour or two in the early evening whereby youre not worried about the kids getting sunburnt in the pool. The rest of the time we had to keep an eye on how long they were out in the sun because, at the end of July\start of August Turkey is really really hot, we measured 37oC in the shade 45oC byt the pool almost every day...!!! 
In two weeks we saw a cloud once, and that didnt last long.
The Villa is out of the way in a rural little road with no local shop, youll definately need a car to get around (we went with erboy car rental - they were OK),  itll be a 5-10 minute trip by car to one of the roadside markets, or 15 min into Sarigerme or 20 min to Ortaca\Golbasi or Dalaman to a supermarket.
theres a mountain road to Dalyan which has quite a lot to do with turtles, mud baths, boat trips, markets etc and we also went to Gocek to book a 12 island tour which is definately recommended. You can do this for £15 each on a big boat with loads of other people or hire our your own smaller boat (for about £120). We asked at a restaurant one night and the owner knew a guy, wink wink nudge nudge, next day we were out on his boat, amazing clear water to snorkel and beautiful scenery, just brilliant.
The locals are also really nice, especially the lady down the road who cleans the house\pool. A really nice villa.
oh and be sure you have £10 per person when you get off the planes as youll need it to buy a visa to get into the country

We had the most fantastic time at Villa Kara and would love to return next year for our family holiday.  From start to finish everything ran smoothly.  We arrived late and in the darkness but once the car arrived the next morning we were out and about in no time and found our way round pretty quickly.  The villa was well equipt with everything to make a great holiday and the pool was fantastic. We loved the fact that we were not in a busy town and just the friendly neighbours passing to work and back.  We woke most mornings to find the pool cleaner had been and gone and cleaned down all the patio area.  There was lots of wildlife to be found around the villa which was great including fireflys coming from the tree by the front door.
Thankyou Richard for organising everything, until next year, The Holder family.
