We booked this villa last minute and could not have picked better. On arrival the property looked a bit dark due to the trees but we needn't have worried. Once you walk round the back a welcoming sight awaits you!. It is exactly as in the pictures. There are other properties at either side of the villa but the garden is well screened off with trees and shrubs giving plenty of privacy; you do not feel overlooked. The villa is a large property standing in good sized gardens. It has an extensive terrace area with a table big enough to accommodate all of your guests. There is a build in barbeque which we made good use of. The pool is a good size thus enabling us to do plenty of swimming and cool off in the extreme Turkish heat. There is even an outside shower. It was kept very clean and the fact that it is gated off from the terrace area makes it ideal for travellers with children. There are ample sunbeds, parasols and shady areas. The pool gets the sun most of the day so was always a pleasant temperature. We even swam in it late at night just to cool off. The villa itself is well kitted out having everything you could possibly need. The water cooler with a water delivery service was an added bonus. It is a very homely property and we felt privileged to be allowed to stay here. We like to cook in some nights and this was easy to do as so many pots, pans, utensils etc. Everything was of decent quality The location is spot on. In a quiet neighbourhood within very easy walking distance of Dalyan centre. Literally 5-10 mins depending which side you wanted to be. We were lucky enough to meet Jacqui and Julian and they are lovely people who want you to get the best out of your holiday. The information they provided was extensive and everything was exactly as described. We have been to Dalyan on a few occasions. We loved it the first time we went and still love it as much. There is plenty to do if you want active or chilled out. A boat trip is however a must. If you hire a car there are some great places to visit. All in all a really lovely villa making for a perfect holiday. We would not hesitate to book this property again and truly hope to do so in the very near future. Correspondence with Jacqui before, during and after our stay was like dealing with a family friend. Nothing is too much trouble and she is keen to know your views good or bad.

We (family of 4 with 2 teenagers) loved this villa. Excellent standard, facilities and very clean. Top 2 bedrooms probably more suited to kids as set into eaves. Owner couldn't be more helpful. Location far enough away from town centre noise yet only a 10 min walk to most restaurants. Dalyan still a beautiful place with so many things to do for all ages and tastes. Turkey considerably cheaper than Europe too. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had 3 generations of family coming together form across the globe. Villa Guzel was perfect for everyone and was the heart of our perfect holiday. The owners have carefully considered everything needed for a smooth and happy holiday. Really helpful throughout the trip, answering questions quickly and providing lots of helpful information. The Villa was spotless and had everything you'd need for a great holiday. The pool was wonderful, we all spent many hours around/in it. The fence and gate provided peace, knowing the little ones couldn't fall in accidentally. We enjoyed the large table on the veranda, eating our meals together, playing cards and other games on it. The location is perfect, an easy walk into town where you can then catch a boat or bus to other destinations if needed. No need to hire a car. Dalyan itself is beautiful, peaceful, so safe, really cheap and has lots to do. The local people are so friendly and love children. We all had such a great time and want to return. Thank you so much to Jacqui and Julian.

This wonderful villa has everything you could possibly want and more! Jacqui was extremely helpful in providing all information and useful advice as well as arranging transfers which went very smoothly. We were holidaying with extended family with ages ranging from 14 to 76 and were a bit concerned that it would be impossible to please us all. However we all had a fabulous time; there really is something for everyone. The teens were happy with the wi-fi at the villa of course! The rest of us were happy just to chill by the lovely pool and catch up on good old fashioned reading! Dalyan is perfect for families and we enjoyed some of the many excursions. Beware the jeep safari if you don't like being continuously soaked- the youngsters loved it! I have to admit to enjoying it too although once was enough! The short walk into town was a bonus, the villa is in an ideal location. I have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful villa, we all have wonderful photos and memories of a great family holiday. A Big thank you to Jacqui and Julian for sharing their villa and helping to make our holiday so special.

The villa was clean, well equipped and well situated within easy walking distance of the town. The pool is situated behind the villa making it more private and it was well looked after by Ufuk and Serife. It was in constant use whenever we were 'at home' and greatly enjoyed by us all. Villa Guzel is good base for all activities - we used Kaunos Tours for most outings, they were very professional, friendly and helpful. We went by boat to the beach, lake, mud baths and sea, with lots of swimming, and also had a Jeep Safari experience into more remote areas and the mountains. We went by the local dolmus bus, from the end of the road, to the Turtle Centre at the other end of the beach. The Golbasi restaurant served a superb breakfast made even better by free transport to and from our villa. We also enjoyed many meals out including at the Tree House, The Blue Crab and the Iz Art Cafe. We were rowed across the river and took a tractor ride to the Roman ruins at Kaunos. From start to finish the help and advice from Jacqui and Julian was way beyond the call of duty and the fact that they also arranged our airport transfers was very much appreciated. We are a family group of ten ranging in age from 3 to 70 and it was universally agreed that we have just had 'the best family holiday ever'. Thank you from the Roberts family.

I decided for the first time to holiday in a villa, I am so happy I chose Villa Guzel, you will want for nothing villa was clean and the (fantastic) pool was cleaned everyday. There were 5 adults and one 16 month old baby in our party, Childs high chair seat and travel cot supplied. The town has everything you need with fantastic river cruises and riverside restaurants and the Saturday markets have to be experienced. We also tried the Turkish baths, incredibly relaxing and I tried the Turkish barbers for a shave, again please try it an incredibly good experience. Must mention the fantastic support from Jacqui the owner could not have been more helpful or reassuring. You get very good value for money in shops, river taxis and the local road taxis. We hope to return again to a beautiful country and the enchanting Villa Guzel.

We were a group of 3 family's who stayed at the villa in July/august 2014. We couldn't fault the villa at all, it was in lovely condition with everything you could possibly wish for. The pool was fantastic and where we spent most of our time playing with the children, the temperature was perfect! We utilised the bbq on a number of occasions and bough our meat from the local butchers. We would definitely recommend booking a boat tour with the Olive Lounge, we hired the boat privately with a group of 20 and really enjoyed snorkelling all the different bays, the food served on the boat was some of the nicest we had during our time in turkey (and we didn't have a bad meal!) The villas' location was great, with only a short walk (10mins with a trail of young children) into town where there was an abundance of restaurants to choose from. Jacqui, the villa owner, was super, we spoke a lot before and after our holiday and she made the daunting thought of bookings a villa somewhere we had never been before easy and enjoyable. She organised the airport transfers and was always happy to answer all of our questions. Perfect holiday!

Exceptional villa. 8 adults and 2 young children Stayed here. It was immaculately clean inside and out. Well equipped throughout. Lovely pool and added bonus of children's pool. Pool fenced/gated for safety. Great location only short walk into town-where there are great restaurants, shops etc. owner provided excellent communication throughout booking and organised airport transfers etc. Highly recommend - 5 star and would definitely return.

From the time of booking right through to the last day our holiday and stay at Villa Guzel was just wonderful. Jacqui made the whole booking process so easy and even arranged our transfers. She was so friendly and helpful which made us feel confident about our booking. Villa Guzel was brilliant. It had everything we needed and more. The welcome pack was a surprise and very useful. Everything was clean and comfortable and that includes the bed which was a great plus. The shower was powerful and we had plenty of hot water. The water cooler was another plus and it was so easy to phone and order the water, which was delivered within half an hour! The outside space was beautiful and the pool wonderful. It is the warmest pool we have had and we have stayed in many villas. It was kept really clean by Ufuk who came each day and we thoroughly enjoyed doing our 50 or more lengths per day. We fell in love with Dalyan and it was a further bonus that the villa was only a 10 minute walk to the centre. We loved eating at Yeners Place and felt we were one of the family. The boat trip to the beach was great and we walked from one end to the other and were rewarded by seeing 2 turtles mating just a few yards off shore. The 12 Islands boat trip was wonderful with some truly amazing scenery. This holiday was certainly one of our best and we cannot wait to go back. The only reason I would not recommend this villa is that I don't want it to be so booked up that we cannot return!!! Dalyan is such a lovely place. It draws you in and remains in your heart long after you return. Villa Guzel is a lovely villa that only enhances your holiday and invites you to return again and again. Jacqui, the owner starts your holiday with brilliant customer service and from then on your experience gets better and better! Thank you Jacqui for letting us share your beautiful villa and for all your help and advice which contributed to making so many wonderful memories. These will be stored in our hearts and taken out to bring us joy on rainy days.

This was the first time we had visited turkey but it won't be the last, Dalyan is a gem, the local people couldnt be more friendly or helpful. The villa was perfectly situated short walk to town, but your own private haven to relax. The pool was great and one of the warmest pools we have ever used - no sharp intake of breath needed when getting in, the veranda provided plenty of space to relax out of the sun. Everything you could ever need in a home could be found in the villa. Ufuk and his wife kept the villa in perfect condition pool and garden tended to on most days We had a few problems before travel as my mum and dad were not able to travel due to mr dad having a stroke 4 weeks before departure - Jacqui was amazing nothing was too much trouble and everything they needed for insurance was dealt with quickly and efficiently. My dad is doing well now and is looking forward to his Dalyan experience next year, but does need downstairs bedroom now. Thank you Jaqui and Julien for sharing your villa with us we will be returning I am sure. I have already given your villa details to my work colleagues and some of my family members - absolutely loved this holiday.

Perfect location, perfect villa, perfect weather! The Villa is so well equipped with everything you would possibly need, especially in the kitchen. The pool is a really decent size, fruit trees all over the large garden and enough sun loungers for everyone! The location is great, it is honestly 5- 10 minute walk (on flat ground!) into the town centre, depending on speed and the weather! The locals are so friendly and most shops speak a little English so it's easy to survive. Dalyan itself is not commercialised, there are so many restaurants and shops But check out the villas guest book and information book for recommendations. The owners are very informative before travel and will answer all questions thoroughly. It's so easy if you book their transfers, the driver has your keys so there is no hassle and they are cheaper than anyone we found.

We opted for Turkey this year, having been rained on in both Venice and the Vendee last summer. We have been to Dalyan before and opted for this due to it's mix of beautiful surroundings, family oriented night life and only a short trip from the airport. I chose Villa Guzel as in addition to looking lovely, Jacqui was prompt, courteous and informative with her correspondence. It was a great choice; the villa is spacious and fantastically equipt. Having showers with fab pressure, loos that flush properly, a kettle that doesn't take forever to boil, dishwasher and comfy beds may not automatically be on the top of your wish list but really makes a difference. We knew Dalyan so just needed to get the Villa right...it suited our needs perfectly and was spotless on arrival and very well maintained ( villa and garden) during our stay. The garden and pool area were great; with a larger than average plot. The patio porch is a really decent depth and gives some well needed shade.The pool is wonderfully warm, an added bonus if,like me, you're not that keen on cold water. The villa is located in a tranquil residential spot, and an easy walk into Dalyan. Our 4 year old managed it there and back every evening no problem. We did the normal tourist things; boat trips, turtle beach, restaurant in the mountains with freezing spring water to jump in....Dalyan is very easy to navigate and you can do as much or little as you chose. Overall we would have no hesitation in recommending Villa Guzel; great value villa, super people and place.... but you will need to book in good time... enjoy!
