the most incredible place that we have ever been. atmosphere, hosts, food.. everything ❤️ thank you dear !!!

We had a perfect holiday in this beautiful, peaceful place. Lovely people. Errol was so kind- taking us to the beach and even to the village to get dinner on the first night as we arrived so late and hungry! Incredibly generous and also unobtrusive. Cirali itself is wonderful- happy, relaxed vibe and stunning beach surrounded by mountains. 20 min easy walk- the cars are used to people walking and cycling so safe enough- even in the dark- although bring/ buy a torch! Stars in the sky, wide ocean, tropical pool- even turtles. Hope to go back.

This place is what you call paradise !!! The way they designed this place is just perfect!!! It’s peaceful, sooo lovely, so green just amazing!!! The hosts are adorable all three are the Lindner in person!!! the breakfast is super delicious !!! We highly recommend this beautiful place!!! We surely visit once again !! Really really good job!!! A big hug and see you soon. Matthias and Sasi

Every thing was spot on

Exceptional attention to detail from the owners - great balance of personal treatment, humour and respect of space. Each cabin is a little bit away from the other so noise not an issue Pool beautifully set, you'll barely want to leave with an honesty bar by the pool Short bicycle to the beach (5 min) slight down hill. Bicycle and locks provided for free Cabins look nicer in real life than the pictures give them credit. They are small but cosy and romantic. Breakfast is traditional Turkish, but lots of nice homemade touches as isn't my favourite breakfast in the world and can become quite samey but actually the cook was great! Everyone couldn't do enough for you - the owners live on site so always on hand. Exceptionally clean. Expectations exceeded.

There was a green added bit of roof covering our balcony which meant you couldn't really see the mountains from it nor sit in the sun which was a shame but the pool more than made up for it. I think there's a prestige cabin with a bigger balcony so if it's your thing probably book that room.

The hotel and staff / owners are absolutely wonderful. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly.

From the very first minute everything was amazing. The garden is so tranqule and beauful, that makes you feel very relaxed. At night you can see the sky full of stars, so incredible. The breakfast is the best we had during our trip in Turkey, we alsi stayed for dinners and I can definately reccomend it. Kezban cooks delucious. If you wish to go to the beach, you can even use bycucles, that are provided. Dear Erol and Gaye, thank you for your hospitality, we had a wonderful time and hope to come back next year!

Portalimo lodge is a peaceful paradise ideally situated in the middle of mountains. The owners, Gaye and Erol, thought of any little detail and this makes the experience quite unique. Every day, you notice something new. One can only imagine the efforts, time, and imaginative thinking that were necessary to reach such an outcome. Gaye and Erol are travellers themselves and they decorated their space, especially the dining area, with the souvenirs that they brought from their trips. The place is very green, full of trees (a lot of citrus trees but also pomegranate trees, banana trees, palmier trees and a lot of plants) with a few animals: hens, a turtle and a very quite dog. The place is by the road that goes to Cirali village/beach, one can hear the cars from the dining area (which is not so annoying) but once in the rooms area, the swimming pool area and the citrus garden at the back, one can only hear the wind, the hens and enjoy silence. The swimming pool area is terrific! Once again everything is carefully though of and there are a lot of special places to relax. The swimming pool is of a descent size and so refreshing! The most amazing aspect is the view that one can enjoy while swimming: mountains and trees all around! Portalimo lodge has only 5 rooms, so the place is never crowded and always quite for a relaxing experience. Gaye, Erol and Kesban (the lady who takes care of the meals) are all very welcoming, friendly people. They really care about your comfort, they are very helpful, keen to have a chat and give advice, and their presence is always very discrete. I really enjoyed chatting with Gaye and Erol and share our passion for South America! Erol gave us a ride to the village/beach every day at the time that we wanted even with a very short notice. And Gaye and Erol also gave us a ride to our hotel in old Antalya at the end of our stay as they were also going to Antalya on that day. It was very kind of them to offer us such option!

+++++ Not enough space for the positive aspects; so I continue here... The breakfast was amazing! It was fresh, diverse (eggs prepared in a different way each day, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, jams, tahini, molasse, nuts, dried fruits, fresh fruits, each day another Turkish specialty, olives…). I have definitely eaten too much during my stay… Dinner was also very good, homemade cuisine, fresh and tasty! The village and the beach are really close to the lodge (about 1,5km). I had a run on the second day; I was at the beach after less than 15 minutes; going and coming back was too short for a run. On the second day, I followed Erol’s recommendation and I had a 1-hour run by following a road that goes around the village (the extended version of it) and this was a perfect run (about 10-12km). The lodge is extremely clean, the shower is perfect, and everything is thought of to avoid mosquito/insects’ issues. Each room has its own little terrace and a space to dry towels (potential clothes). There is also a small fridge in the room and a kettle to prepare tea. One can get fresh drinks anytime, those are available in fridges, one next to the dining area, one in the swimming pool area. I was used to inform Kesban each time I took fresh water, so that drinks can be counted in the bill. To sum up, I had an amazing experience at Portalimo Lodge. I was there for 4 nights with my 80 years old mother who really appreciated the quietness, the nature, the very kind attitude of the whole team and the good food. And as rooms are little houses, there are no stairs, which is particularly good for older people. I highly recommend the place to anyone willing to explore the region and I hope to personally be back soon! - The only thing that I liked less are the mattresses: they are quite hard but this is very subjective. And this is only a little detail, so not so annoying...

One of the best hotels/lodges we ever stayed at! Perfect location with nice pool, cozy, well maintained and clean bungalows and even friendly happy chicken running around within this small jungle... a perfect place to relax! The super friendly owners gave us a warm welcome so we felt at home immediately :) Also the staff was amazing, prepared perfect breakfast and made our stay one of the best times of our vacation. Don't miss the delicious homemade dinner! The lodge is not far from the sea, just a short ride by bike or car. We would have loved to stay longer! Thank you for the cute turtle :)))

Everything was perfect.... nothing to complain about :)

Friendly atmosphere and calmness it was managed by Great family ,they are so kind and treat you like you are in your home . Calm place with perfect view from swimming pool. will come back if i could

The owners pay attention to details, they were always meeting our expectations, very friendly and helpful! The pool area is perfect to relax. Room is very clean and quiet, just as what we were looking for when we make the booking.

We liked everything. We would love to come back again!

It is absolutely the perfect place for a vacation. Portalimo Lodge is a quiet and green Mediterranean oasis, stands alone from the crowded hotels you can find right next to the beach. The paradise garden has only four bungalows located in a big blooming area and a fantastic pool with lots of space for private relaxation. The place was created and managed with love by people with good taste, clear understanding, and top service expertise. Internet was good enough to run zoom conferences, which I think is exclusive for Ciraly. The smell, incredible mountain views, modern and comfortable facilities, privacy, and a personal approach are the primary reasons we would love to return. Dear Erol and Gaye - we thank you from all our hearts for the great time we had at your lovely place, for all the support and pleasant conversations. Please say hi to Kezban; we are already missing her wonderful meals and kind smile. Hugs.

We like everything, the host were kind and helpful, the garden is big, green and full of fresh air, it smells like in haven. The quiet please for those who want to spend holidays in pease relaxing in the middle of the beauty. p.s. Fish is highly recommended for diner.

This is such a beautiful place to stay, in a valley of mountains leading down to the sea. Its so romantic and peaceful and the swimming pool just finishes it off. Keeping only a few lodges on this land has really paid off to offer peace and relaxation. Erol and gayle treat you as family and kezban erbek is the friendliest and most efficient cook/ cleaner we have ever met and one who truly cares about you. Nothing is to much trouble for anybody and they will all bend over backwards to make your stay a happy one. We honestly felt like we were saying goodbye to family when we left. The only way i can end this review is with, we will be back x

Had an amazing stay here. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating, plus the breakfast is superb. It is a beautiful place to stay and would highly recommend.
