We have recently returned from a 2 week stay at Villa Olive - not that we wanted to return at all! The villa was better than the description - plenty of living space and outside seating areas. The bedroom and bathroom layout easily sleeps 10. The 4 main bedrooms are a really good size all with own bathrooms. Bed 10 is ground floor, much smaller and no en-suite. The Villa was spotlessly clean. It is about a 15min walk down into town - def need a taxi back. For those who do not know Kalkan the town is split below and above the main road from Dalaman/Antalya and this villa is situated above the main road so people may prefer to get a taxi into town esp. if you have small children. This is really easy - just call one of the taxi numbers on the fridge - taxis reliable and cheap (c 12 lira per taxi). The pool and grounds are attended every day and the guys bring you fresh bread every day - they ask you how many loaves you want on the day you arrive and they are hanging on the chair by the back door when you get up 😄 Same with the water for the cooler - just phone the number on the fridge and the guy arrives to replace it almost instantly!! The pool is big and deep but the kids (aged 15,12,8,6 & 3) absolutely loved it. From what we could see the pools at most other villas were more like plunge pools rather than a full swimming pool. We visited the Gorge Saklikent which was a great day out and Patara beach - kids loved the waves. We had cars so did all this independently but there are lots places to book organised trips in town. An absolute must is a boat trip with Anil Boat (see facebook page) which we would highly recommend. Would suggest booking in advance - the lunch provided in unbelievable. The are several beach clubs which are a great day out too- our favourite is Kalamar Bay - they will pick you up and drop you off free of charge. Great watersports team on hand and lunch was good. Plenty of shaded areas. We were last in Kalkan two years ago and the town is as lovely as it was then with lots of great restaurants all of which do very similar menus. Our favourites were Sade (it's small so book in advance), Gourmet and Doy Doy but we ate out every night and didn't have a bad meal. Average price with drinks (lots)and two courses for the 9 of us was between £110-£150 which was amazing value. Most are roof top or harbour view so getting out to eat at sunset is good. The owners and local agent were fantastic throughout.

Beautiful villa in a very quiet area within walking distance of Kalkan for restaurants, bars and shops. The villa was lovely and spacious with ensuite bathrooms to all bedrooms and a nice big kitchen/living area. The pool and outside seating areas were great and there were always areas in the sun or shade throughout the day with stunning views down to the sea/town and up to the mountains behind. Very relaxing, would highly recommend!

Superb, exceptionally well appointed and maintained villa with excellent sea views. Would have no hesitation in returning to the town of Kalkan and this villa again, and would highly recommend. Foley family

This is the third time we have returned to Villa Olive in Kalkan. We have been in a larger party but also as a couple. The outside sun terraces were perfect for any time of day. Moving from the pool side to have a laze in the hammock then drinks on the top floor terrace suited us very well. The villa is very well equipped and furnished brilliantly. We also loved the new canopy which had been added last year so lunch and breakfasts were shaded. We will be back and in the meantime I'll be watching the film you sent me prior to my booking next year.
