Our family of six stayed for two weeks in this delightful villa. The pool was the perfect size for all of us and was well used throughout the day and into the late evening. The villa was clean and the beds were so comfortable. The size of the villa and its various patios meant that we had plenty of space for us all. We had a problem with the fridge freezer when we first arrived, but a new one was purchased and fitted within a couple of days. One of the bathrooms had mosaic tiles missing and a leaking toilet but there was a spare room so that the guests could stay in there. The road to the villa is extremely steep. It was fine for us, but if you had mobility issues it would be a problem. The staff that looked after the villa were fantastic. We had bread delivered every day and bottled water at our request. We also used the recommended taxi service from the airport and back again, which was punctual and extremely efficient. We are missing the Villa like mad and would definately come again

A lovely 5 bedroomed air conditioned villa overlooking Kalkan bay. Great pool, BBQ and relaxation areas around the pool and the roof terrace. 2 Families were accommodated easily. Its situated on a very steep hill, so make sure you have grippy shoes!

if you have any mobility issues this villa might not work for you. To access the villa you have to walk up a very steep road as it’s almost impossible to park your car in the villa car parking space (we had to leave our cars at the bottom ) therefore you have to walk down the very steep road to get your car (make sure you have suitable footwear )
I don’t like to be negative but this would have been a big problem for my husband last year after knee surgery
The villa is beautiful and very well equipped and we had a lovely stay

Great villa for the whole family - 4 adult couples. Pool size perfect for swimming and games. The views were wonderful from all balconies and seating areas. Very high up overlooking Kalkan (our 12th year in the town) and benefited from sunshine from morning through to night. Very steep access road outside which for us was not a problem.

One of the best villas we have ever stayed in such spectacular views - few issues with air con and water but the team tried to fix them as quickly as they could and some were beyond their control due to the heatwave - we all loved our holiday , grandpa , parents and kids alike !

I booked Villa Vanilla to celebrate my 60th birthday with close friends. The Villa is stunning with everything you need at hand. Great information and pre holiday updates and responses from Sue were prompt and extremely re assuring. The views are spectacular and the rooms tastefully decorated . We loved every minute. The pool is lovely and the gardens well tended by Sedat there are so many private areas even a group of 9 could enjoy their own peace and quiet if wanted. Huge thanks to the owners and their team for making our special place Kalkan, even more perfect .

Unforgettable
We had a great time with the whole family and our 5 kids. The view is just unforgettable. The Pool area is loevly and generous. The kids loved the house. It is very clean. You find many sweet corners in the house to chill. The agency who was taking care of the house was always helping out. It is just bit challenging with driving up with the car, but we got used it. Thank you Sue.

Wonderful stay with a perfect scenery
This house is the perfect place for family trips. It has so many detailed and thoroughly thought rooms with lots of amenities. It is a lovely place to have a family gathering and to see many amazing places of Kalkan and nearby Kaş. The villa has a breathtaking view and a good pool.
The entrance is a little steep, but you can park the car at the beginning of the street.
Overall, wonderful stay in Kalkan with a delightful and charming view. Totally recommended. Hope to stay next year also.

The views are stunning ,the villa is as it appears in the photos ,really well presented and overall a lovely holiday.
We hope to return next year.

Fabulous Villa with stunning views
The villa, garden area and pool area all exceeded expectations. Stunning views over Kalkan and the Mediterranean beyond were enjoyed form the outside areas and from the roof top areas. Extremely relaxing just spending time at the villa during the hot daytime hours, not a drop of rain all fortnight. Kalkan is a lively place with many restaurants bars and shops to enjoy all at reasonable prices. We particularly enjoyed the boat trips from Kalkan harbor and the beach clubs close by. Water sports were fantastic. Amazing holiday enjoyed by all of us including our four teenagers, we will return to Villa Vanilla for sure.

Relaxing holiday in beautiful Villa Vanilla
The view from Villa Vanilla over Kalkan harbour takes some beating. Kalkan is a very beautiful resort.
We were happy to discover that the villa is very well equipped/decorated/furnished with spacious airy rooms.
The pool area had very good sun loungers and parasols. It was kept spotless by the very pleasant pool maintenance man who visited daily.The villa is surrounded by an abundance of beautiful flowers, plants and trees.There are many places to sit (shady or sunny) and enjoy the view. The outdoor shady dining area is perfect for long lunches.
We spent our time either relaxing by the pool or exploring the lovely local beaches, markets and ancient ruins. Saklikent Gorge is worth a visit as is the Sunken City at Kekova. Boat trips from Kalkan harbour are a perfect way to explore and swim in the local bays.
There is plenty of information in the villa folders on sightseeing and restaurants. I would recommend hiring a car to get around (there are many very steep roads in Kalkan ).
Sue arranged our transfers which went very smoothly. The property manager kindly did some food shopping for our late arrival just to tide us over until we got to the supermarket the next day.
Thank you very much Sue for a lovely stay. I'm sure we'll visit again.

Hier möchte man bleiben
Die Villa ist das mittlere von drei im selben Stil gebauten Häusern, die sich auf einem Hügel oberhalb von Kalkan befinden. Durch die erhöhte Lage hat man einen einen fantastischen Blick auf die Bucht und die Stadt, vor allem von der Dachterrasse. Das Haus selbst bietet auf zwei Wohnebenen ausreichend Platz für 8 Personen (4 Schlafzimmer) und ist sehr geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Wenn es in der Küche noch eine Mikrowelle u. eine Kaffeemaschine gäbe, wäre die Perfektion vollkommen.
Zentraler Punkt im Aussenbereich ist natürlich der Pool, der durch seine Größe u. Form für Langstreckenschwimmer eher ungeeignet ist. Zur Abkühlung ist er aber völlig ausreichend u. für Kinder ideal. Die Reinigung ist übrigens vorbildlich (täglich).
Wer absolute Privatsphäre sucht, könnte aber möglicherweise entäuscht werden. Da die Villen in sehr geringem Abstand zueinander stehen, kann man problemlos dem Nachbar beim Sonnenbaden zusehen u. umgekehrt. Wem das aber nicht stört, der ist hier bestens aufgehoben.
Ein Fahrzeug würde ich auf jeden Fall anraten. Da die Strasse zum Haus teilweise extrem steil ist, könnte ein Fußmarsch, vor allem bei sommerlicher Hitze, ziemlich beschwerlich werden.
Fazit: eine wunderschöne Villa in traumhafter Lage. Wenn man nicht auf absolute Ruhe u. Privatsphäre Wert legt, dann kann man dieses Objekt uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

An idyllic week
Our party consisted of four couples - the two of us and the rest twenty somethings - daughters and partners/friends. We all loved our stay and even a week here left us feel completely unwound.
The accomodation remains at a very high standard , well equipped and tastefully furnished with the lay out outside in particular providing several nooks and crannies to allow for being together or taking a bit of QT on the roof terrace or garden seating area.Usefully given the temperature bordering on 100 degrees, there were many shaded areas as well as the pool of course. That and the garden generally were maintained twice daily by the friendly yet unobtrusive gardener who could always summon fresh supplies for the water dispenser.
Remarkably , we didnt see a single fly, wasp or mosquito all week - only the atmospheric ciccadas and a friendly tortoise who made a daily appearance from somewhere. The views were splendid at all times of day.
Kalkan is a lovely town with an abundance of good restuarants and shops ( fishmonger and fake bags come to mind ) with enough bars to satisfy the younger element. The old part is very attractive as is the harbour where various boat trips and diving opportunities can be found.Even the Imam calling to prayer from the mosque sounded genuine and not recorded.
You do need a car on balance unless you ' re simply going to remain very local and you don't want to walk back up to the villa especially in the heat but taxis are cheap and plentiful. The two local beaches are definately worth a visit as is Kas c 30 mins drive away - again an old town with several rug and linen shops.
We would definately return.

Something for everyone
We swapped the grey skies of Britain for sunny Kalkan in late October 2008 and had the most wonderful holiday in this beautiful place. Not only is the Villa Vanilla decorated, equipped and maintained to a very high standard, the kitchen is a chef’s delight.
Having woken to blue skies and that fabulous view, a walk down the hill to the local market revealed a huge choice of fresh, local produce. The teenagers in our party explored the cobbled streets whilst I stretched out on a sun lounger keeping half an eye on the two younger children who played for hours in the pool. The two keen walkers planned their route along the Lycian way.
The owners provided plenty of useful ( and accurate) information about airport transfers, local restaurants and places to visit. A small fish restaurant tucked away in the hills above Kalkan was a particularly satisfying recommendation. The friendliness of the local people and the high quality of service at a reasonable price was a real bonus.
It’s rare to find a house as lovely as this, in such a perfect position with excellent restaurants, beaches, ancient ruins and inspiring walks within a short drive. We all had a great time and will definitely book this villa again.

Great house, great view, great for kids
We rented the villa in July 2008. The house and the view were even better in real life than on the internet images. We were two families with 3 children under 4 yo; the house and the pool aerea worked so perfect for us all that we stayed by the pool most of the week, taking turns on looking after the kids. We certainly recommend the villa for young families even though it sounds not very child-friendly with a house up in the hills. You use the car all the time anyway, it is impossible to get around without it. The two beaches in the area could be reached by the car, the town beach was ok but not optimal for small children, but the other one, about 15 min drive, was beautiful and not crowded.
The service was great, starting with my first contact with the villa owner and further when we met the property manager who met all our needs including fresh bread for breakfast each morning. It might be hard for us finding something this priceworthy anywhere else next season!

Villa Vanilla Spring 2008
We rented Villa Vanilla over the spring break in 2008 as a big family group: four adults and foru children. The standard of the accomodation was outstanding with every need thought of and catered for. The restaurant recommendations in the villa were very helpful but we regularly stayed at the villa and cooked as the local produce was so good and the kitchen so well equipped. Every room has en-suite and the quality of the bedding and towels was superb.
The pool area was of a very high standard and maintained every day.
We enjoyed our week and were able to explore local ruins as well as go on the beautiful beaches.
Sue was extremely helpful in arranging transfers from the airport and car hire.
We hope to return next year!

We rented the villa in June 2007 and held our wedding ceremony on the roof terrace. Villa Vanilla more than lived up to our expectations and was better even than the stunning photos we had seen prior to renting it. The villa was so well equipped that we wanted for nothing and the quality of the bedding and towels made us feel like we were staying in a five star hotel. The layout (both inside and out) lends itself perfectly to both romantic time for two and big family dinners. We stayed for three weeks and enjoyed a mix of great dining in Kalkan, a few boat excursions and time around the pool. I look back at our wedding and honeymoon pictures and remember waking up every morning to that fabulous view. Villa Vanilla will always hold a special place in our hearts and we hope to return some day.Naomi & Andy
