Guest comments
we visited the villa at the end of June as a group of friends, the weather was perfect and the villa suited our needs brilliantly.The villa is a great size and good layout with outside space off all the bedrooms, with a lovely Ottoman area off the top floor which has fab views of both Kalkan and Kalamar bays - perfect for pre/post dinner drinks!! The pool is vital and gets the sun for most of the day and has plenty of loungers around the edge. We rented a car from Enes car rental which is 2 mins down the road from the villa which I would recommend as although the villa is walk-able to the town it is nice to have the flexibility a car offers, particularly as you can park wherever you like in Kalkan without paying. This was our first trip to Kalkan in about 10 years and we have already booked to come back to the villa next year as we had such a great time. We have already recommended the place to friends who are booking up for next year too! EP June 2010.
Owner profile
About the owner
I now run the villa rentals but alas, no longer own it. My husband and I bought it from new in 2004 and sold it to a lovely lady in March 2010.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We thought this spot had the best of both worlds, being on the outskirts, it's quiet, yet close enough to walk into the centre. The views, particularly from the upper terraces, are sublime. You can see both bays from the villa. It's easy to find, as it's just off the Kalamar Road and most of the taxi drivers know the Saneil complex. The real bonus is having staff living on the complex, offering 24 hour security.
Unique benefits of the property
We think this property has just about everything! All the bedrooms are sea-facing, with direct access onto 1 of 2 terraces. Being on a small complex, we benefit from a member of staff being on hand 24 hours a day, should you need assistance with anything. The nightwatchman does his rounds every evening, which makes us feel very secure. Sometimes eating outside can get a bit hot, so as well as shade, we provide a ceiling fan. On the roof terrace we've built an authentic and secluded Ottoman area, where you can enjoy spectacular views, whilst sipping a cocktail and reclining on soft cushions. And having a water cooler on tap in the kitchen is a real necessity! And if you're visiting in cooler months, there's a genuine Turkish wood burning stove. The smell of olive wood is fantastic.
