Had a lovely relaxing stay,villa was lovely,i had too days of crazy heavy rain and a bit of water came in and wet rug but not a problem i just hung it outside to dry,dvd player didnt work but no isue either i watched netflix so all in all it was great,i thought i was in heaven and really great that there was some basic provisions there for me on arrival.thankyou so much i would definatly go again

The property was exactly as described was easy to book and had good communication with the owner

We were so looking forward to staying at Tara, we did arrive late and tired and first impressions were not up to our normal standards on the cleanliness in bathrooms and roof top. Windows in the bathrooms were difficult to close to keep out unwanted insects out. The main ensuite was crawling with ants and a number on the bedroom floor, which wasnt pleasant. We managed to eliminated this problem with sprays and it did not happen again during our stay, however should have been sorted before we arrived. We never ventured too far into the second bedroom. When a villa is advertised with having a DVD, not only did this not work, we had to replace all the batteries in the remotes we needed including the TV and CD player. These were eventually sorted when a coaxial cable was supplied, several days into our holiday. Despite the initial teething problems, we finally enjoyed our stay until then the air con in the bedroom wouldnt turn off. We would stay again if the above were put right and checked before arrival/ on a regular basis. The property does require a little TLC but this is reflected in the pricr. .

We stayed for 2 weeks at Villa Tara, as a family of 4. The villa was very near the local supermarkets and we enjoyed our walk up to the them in the morning. We also found a local pizza/Italian restaurant nearby, which was about a 5 minute walk away and the food was very good and reasonably priced. I would suggest getting a taxi into Kalkan town, as some of the hills are very steep and it was very cheap getting a taxi there and back to the villa. We loved spending time by the pool and the gardens are very pretty and we even had a visit from a wild tortoise 🐢 My husband and I loved sitting upstairs on the roof terrace and it would be nice to have some more seating up there. Villa Tara was very comfortable but could do with a little updating but it didn’t affect our holiday there. It was our first visit to Kalkan and we as a family absolutely loved it and will definitely be back.

Our holiday in kalkan was terrific. Communication with our landlord Jeremy was also very polite and friendly BUT unfortunately we had some problems with Villa Tara. Unfortunately, the villa was only poorly cleaned upon arrival. Furthermore, the water in the sink on the first floor in the toilet didn't drain. So it was not possible to use it. We bought our own pipe free agent to solve the blockage. Unfortunately didn't work. On arrival there was a pathetic and unbearable stench in this toilet. Unfortunately, this was the case for the whole holiday. 5 days before departure, the toilet on the ground floor overflowed with sewage from the other villas. So that the whole toilet and the ground floor also stunk. Last but not least, fitters came on the penultimate day who wanted to dismantle the toilet in order to blow out the sewage pipes with water pressure. There was a risk that the whole ground floor would have been flooded with toilet water. We then prohibited it and asked them to do it after we left. All in all, with a small and significant renovation, it could really be turned into a beautiful Villa Tara. But the owner has to take a few €uros in his hand and start with it.

Lovely villa, stairs a bit of a problem for older sister, quite a bit from town centre, very hilly but taxis good

The villa is in a wonderful location with an uninterrupted view of the bay of Kalkan. Only a 20 minute downhill stroll into the village with its many good restaurants. The villa is simply furnished, and whilst it would probably benefit from some simple redecoration, it is clean and comfortable, with everything you need. The rental charge is very reasonable, includes a welcome basket and daily cleaning of the outside areas. The pool and gardens are meticulously clean and tidy, with good quality, comfortable sunloungers provided. We enjoyed our second visit just as much as the first, so much so that we've booked a third visit !

Jeremy sent us great directions and we were helped with the luggage up the steps on arrival. The villa garden was great and we spent an hour or two by the pool every afternoon after exploring the area. We walked into Kalkan a few times and had nice food. It’s a tough walk back! The living area was comfortable to relax and watch tv. We had a great stay and would consider returning.

Great little place. The condition of the property is refected in the price. It needs a few minor repairs but I'm sure the owner is aware of the issues. Since the listing was placed improvements include a new kitchen, new TV and wifi and new sunbeds and cushions. I would stay again.

Myself and my wife enjoyed our 2 weeks, great communication with host, the villa does need updating but this is reflected in the price. Amazing views

Absolutely loved our stay in Kalkan and will certainly return. The villa includes everything you need but some utilities need updating and the whole place needs a bit of a refresher. Kalkan and the surrounding areas are astounding.

Just returned from a lovely holiday in Villa Tara. The villa itself is a little tired but very clean and was perfectly adequate for the 2 of us. The outside area was a perfect place to relax and having our own private pool was just heaven. There are 2 small supermarkets and a fab little eating place up a couple of flights of steps which was very useful although if you want alcohol you need to go into town. We tried the walk into town once but it is very steep and it was just too hot so we just used taxis, which for 60 tl was no problem at all! All in all a fab holiday.

We had a lovely stay at this villa. Just enough room for the three of us. Villa was just as described. Pool area was nice and the views were fantastic. Walk down to Kalkan would take about 15-20 minutes but a taxi only costs about £2 into town and you can whats app them and they arrive within 5 minutes. There are a couple of local supermarkets up a few flights of stairs but the area does not sell any alcohol. Nice restaurant also just at the top of the stairs with amazing views again., Sharon was brilliant and helped with everything that we needed.

Once we had booked Villa Tara, we were contacted by Jeremy who was very helpful with information on getting from the Airport to the Villa and pre booking taxi’s for us. Much appreciated. Jeremy also sent via email practical information on the Villa. Key Code, how to use the washing machine etc, and the contact numbers for Sharon and Rami. The Villa is tucked away and Taxi drivers from the Airport don’t know where it is. A phone call to Rami and all was solved. Sharon and Rami both welcomed us to the Villa and gave us a short explanation on where the nearest supermarket was. (Just a 5min walk up hill from the Villa) then let us settle. Sharon came over the next day with a map of Kalkan and useful local information. She also booked and arranged 2 excellent tours for us. The Villa is up a steep hill giving stunning views over Kalkan. It is a 30 minute walk down to the harbour. For the walk back we got a taxi costing £2.00 and well worth it. (A photoshot of the Villa’s Street on Google maps is helpful for the drivers to find the Villa.) You do need to be reasonably fit but two over 70’s managed just fine. Having a pool was a lovely place to cool off after walking round the town or to just chill by. The pool was cleaned, and the patio washed down every day. Kalkan is charming, tranquil, and friendly. The old town has small, cobbled streets flanked by white town houses. The houses are festooned with brightly coloured Bougainvillea, Honeysuckle, and Jasmin all with a backdrop of turquoise sea and sky. Lots of photo opportunities. The harbour is small with boats for hire for all day trips or shorter excursions. Round the harbours are a plethora of bars and restaurants. The local white wine we found excellent and the Meze delicious. Villa Tara is a good base for the independent traveller to kick back and relax or to go exploring from.

Villa Tara is located a 15 minute walk from the main kalkan restaurants. It is in a quiet neighbourhood. Very clean inside and out. Great pool and good quality sun loungers. Comfortable beds. Basic furnishings etc but this is reflected in the competitive rate. It had everything we needed and we will return. Sharon the property manager was very helpful Thank you Jeremy, we enjoyed our first visit to kalkan. I'm sure there will be many more.

Das Objekt ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Trotzdem sehr sauber alles. Pool wirdtäglich gereinigt. Wir waren 12 Nächte da , am 6. Tag wurde eine Grundreinigung gemacht. Gegend und die Aussicht einfach super !

Es war schön, vielen Dank an Ramazan bey der jede Frage beantworten konnte

Sehr gute Lage sehr schönes Haus . Muss aber einiges gemacht . Ansonsten sehr zufrieden

The villa offered good value for money and, while a little basic, it was all that my son and I required for an enjoyable week.

Have been coming to Kalkan for many years and once again we had a wonderful week. This is the first time we have stayed at Tara and the first time in September I would recommend both. The villa views were spectacular but it would have been nice to have more furniture to sit on to enjoy them and maybe not just plastic chairs. I have to say the garden and pool area is lovely with lots of plants for privacy. The villa decor may be a little dated compared to others in the area but who spends that much time inside anyway. I did find it odd there was no full length mirror or a dressing table to sit and get ready out but I managed. I mentioned the stunning views but this does mean the walk into town is a little longer but not an issue but will admit I never attempted the up hill, Taxi’s are great. A supermarket and fab little eating place are just behind the Villa about 10min walk. In all we had another wonderful week in Kalkan and will like many be back next year, and would be happy to stay at Tara

We had a relaxing stay at Villa Tara, the villa was well equipped with everything we needed. The pool and surrounding patio were lovely and relaxing. The views out to sea were beautiful and we enjoyed each evening watching the sunset from the rooftop terrace. It was easy to walk into town and took about 15 mins but always got a taxi back which wasn't expensive. Sharon the property manager was really helpful on places to visit and arranged transfers which made our arrival and departure a smooth experience. We came away from our holiday feeling totally chilled and looking forward to returning again in the future.

The well maintained garden with pool give a lovely outdoor space and the view from the balcony (with table and chairs) especially at night overlooking the bay at Kalkan is spectacular.

Lots of things I really liked about this trip, (our 1st visit to Turkey):* Property has lovely secluded pool area and great views over the town. Aircon & wifi in full working order. * Getting to/from the centre of Kalkan is easy & just a couple of mins by taxi, you can also walk down if you like, (walking back up the hill is harder!)* Kalkan itself is delightful, friendly people and terrific rooftop restaurants.* For things to do further afield , we'd highly recommend the sunken city boat trip from Kas. Saklikent and Patara are also great fun.

We wanted a short break in our own property with our own pool etc. First time to Kalkan and we were not disappointed: Villa Tara was perfect, the town was excellent (no loud stag parties etc) and brilliant views over the bay. Weather was great, we went running early every day and the walk down and back from town is do-able (if you don’t fancy attacking the hills, then there is always a taxi option). Lots of choice for meals out and current £ to TLira rate gets you plenty. Local restaurant 5 mins walk from the villa was a firm favourite - no fuss and great quality food. Our children had a great time - having our own pool is a bit of a deal breaker and Villa Tara was ideal. Aircon in bedrooms was a great bonus as was the stress-free airport transfer organised through the owner and manager. All in all, a great break so thank you Jeremy and Sharon.

Been to Kalkan 5 times now and always enjoyed, the villa had amazing views it just needed a little updating and repair also would’ve been nice to have some furniture up on the roof terrace but overall was nice

Great elevated position, with lovely far reaching sea views. Really nice sized private pool that was cleaned regularly. Well established trees and shrubs giving a welcome bit of shade. We will return again.

Fantastic villa for 4 adults - it's small but perfectly formed and had absolutely everything we wanted or needed. Exactly as described in the listing - plus Sharon is super helpful in advising on trips, restaurants etc. Kalkan is a great place to go and there is loads to do (or you can lie by the pool!).

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, aber nicht für mehr als 2 Erwachsene evtl mit Kindern. Aber für 2 Paare zu klein. Fernsehen nur türkisch, Wifi hat leider nicht funktioniert. Ausrüstung in Ordnung und ein sehr schöne Begrüßung mit Brot und Marmelade und Butter und Orangensaft im Kühlschrank.Alles sehr unkompliziert, aber ohne Navi oder so findet man es schwer. Wenn man in Antalia landet hat man über 3 Stunden Anfahrt, die Engländer fliegen alle nach Dalman Airport?? Tom Tom mobile hat in der Türkei mit der entsprechenden Karte und Aufladekabel sehr gut funktioniert. Die Umgebung ist fantastisch, die Berge über 3000 Meter noch mit Schnee bedekt. Unbedingt auch Fahrten ins Landesinnere machen.

Great location with fabulous views pool was exceptionally clean

This was our second time in Kalkan, it really is a wonderful place. The villa is excellent, we love the freedom of our own place and definitely our own pool. However the villa has amazing views that you don’t tire of, but you are very high up. We walked into town which took approx 30 minutes, the roads are very steep and uneven. Flat shoes a must. We always got a taxi back which was always 15 tl, £2 at the moment. The villa is clean but does need a bit of TLC. On the whole a great stay.

Stayed here for 10 nights Sept 18. Previously stayed here 4 years ago . Fabulous view, great private pool, spacious villa with everything you need. Great value for money . Steep walk into town but we always got taxis back for around £2. Fabulous restaurants in Kalkan, in 10 nights not one bad meal. Will definitely return .
