All the other reviews that villa Gin and Tonic has are correct - it is exceptional! We have has family holidays in villas all over the Med in the past 20 years or so - this is one of the best we have stayed in. The photos do not really do the actual views justice, the views over the bay from the living room and the pool are amazing. The villa itself is very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Both Liz (owner) and Karyn (manager) and very helpful and very responsive to any questions we had. We stayed for a week in August 2024, it was very hot, but the villa is perfect for lazing round the pool and popping in to cool off. There are a few restaurants nearby that we tried, although we found those in the town to be better, in particular we liked the Korsan Fish Terrace and Aubergine. Its also well worth a visit to Guru's Place which is a bit out of town, but the closest to delicious traditional Turkish food that we found. In August its too hot and too hilly to walk, taxis are plentiful, fast to arrive and cheap - don't bother walking into town! If you like to swim in the sea, its a very short walk to the Kulube Hotel, they seem to own the shoreline and have their own loungers that they hire out, but they will let you get into the sea for a swim (for free) if you explain you are staying in a villa up the hill. Patara is about a 30 minutes drive and well worth a visit.

We have had an amazing time at Villa Gin and Tonic. When we arrived we just wowed at the views and that continued the whole time. My family would not leave the villa only for meals at night in Kalkan, as just so relaxing. Beds are comfortable, kitchen great to prepare in with everything you need and sociable lounge with the window views. The pool was our favourite, we certainly got our use. You can walk up a v steep hill to Carrefour supermarket. It’s about 10 mins away but hills are a challenge. Take your trainers :) taxi into Kalkan easy just WhatsApp the numbers on the fridge. We didn’t want to leave and would love to return. Thanks for the items provided to start us off and bread everyday we really appreciated.

Love this villa, pool, view, location. A piece of paradise!

Wow! What an awesome week our family had and what an absolute gem the divine Villa Gin & Tonic is!! Having been on many villa holidays, this is by far and away the most amazing place we have stayed. Not only is the villa absolutely stunning (even better than the pictures) and well equipped to a high standard with everything you could possibly need, the attention to detail and extra special touches like the very generous welcome pack, daily delivery of fresh bread and brilliant water cooler, puts this special place in a league of its own. The location is perfect with such stunning views, so close to the sea & beach clubs and amazing restaurants everywhere. Kalkan / Kalamar is the friendliest, most welcoming place! Liz is the perfect host with outstanding communication from the outset and such helpful tips & info to make for a completely stress free experience. Her team in Kalkan, Karyn and Rambo, are brilliant too. Look no further - you have found the perfect place for the most relaxing and heavenly holiday! Even our tween and teen were delighted with everything (including the ever important wifi!). Make sure you peruse the fabulous info file in the villa & also the guest book for highlights & recommendations. On our first evening we had already decided to rebook for next year. As you may have gathered by now, we cannot recommend Villa G&T highly enough! Thanks Liz and Team - see you next year :-)

Well what can we say? We have just come back from a ten day honeymoon spent at Villa Gin and Tonic… we couldn’t have picked a better place! The views were truly magnificent and the peace and tranquility were second to none! The villa was everything we expected and more. The daily delivery of fresh bread was a lovely extra touch and the welcome pack was great! Liz and Karyn were both very helpful and great hosts. It was our first time visiting Kalkan and we fell in love with both the place and the villa and we we definitely be back!!!!! Thank you for making our honeymoon as special as it was xx

Just Wow! That sums up everything about gin and tonic. Perfect location, I loved walking a few minutes to have a daily mile in the sea! Perfectly appointed, quiet, well equipped, the most outstanding view! Loved the feline visitors which we fed daily! Liz was fantastic to communicate with, especially when we lost our bank card which created some issues! As soon as we got home I went online to rebook as it’s such a truly amazing place. Sadly fully booked (not surprising!!) so we’ll have to wait until next year! Thank you Liz, we can’t wait to come back!

The best villa we have stayed in! The views are to die for. Everything you need is in the villa, the Beach Club below is great, restaurants are close by, Supermarket just up the road, can't wait to come back!

This was our first ever Villa holiday. Kept looking at the photos thinking this is too good to be true. Lets face it photos can be made to look better. WOW I was wrong. This villa is absolutely stunning. The views are breath taking. I didnt expect all the extras too that came with the Villa. Toilet rolls, beach towels, dressing gowns etc etc. There was everything in the kitchen you needed and plenty of utensils. Communication with Liz and Karyn just Brilliant. The fresh bread dilivery every day was such a great gesture. Kalamar has some fab restaurants but the quirky streets in Kalkan were amazing. Restaurants we visited was Porchini, Aqua, Barahat and The small house. All amazing. However we did cook some fabulous fresh produce. We have booked for next year. First holiday I really really didnt want to leave. Thank you Liz for sharing your Gem with us. Xx
