A luxury villa with private pool and breathtaking views over Kalkan bay

Villa Vanilla is a really lovely place to stay. It's roomy, well laid out and is clearly loved by the owners who generously share a lot of their own home comforts. This includes a very well equipped kitchen with everything you could need and - a real rarity in holiday lets - sharp knives! There are also DVDs, books, games, Turkish towels for the pool and lots of spices and store cupboard bits that just make cooking easier. I hope we left enough to participate in this exchange! The rooms are lovely and there are terraces and outside spaces galore plus beautiful plants and fruit trees to make it feel a special and peaceful place to be in, despite there being other properties nearby. The hill adds excitement - and calf strength! We failed to get our car up to the house (needed something with a bit more oomph) but the walk, although very steep, is short and just means you're extra grateful to get to the front door. The payoff is that the views are wonderful and the pool is also there to help you cool back down!Kalkan itself offers a great deal to do and see. Our favourite day was a private hire boat trip which was very good value - everything else feels pricier than the rest of Turkey (but I could be out of date as it's a few years since I've been).I would definitely recommend this lovely villa - we had a very restful and enjoyable time there with our extended family.

Absolutely superb villa, very well equipped and comfortable. Really loved our holiday. Views are something else. Would stay there again in a heart beat.

A superb property. Very comfortable with great outdoor space.

Everything was perfect. The Villa is absolutely stunning with so many different areas to relax. The kitchen has everything you could ever want. The views were unbeatable.

We spent beautiful days at Villa Vanilla. The views from the property are stunning! Sue, the owner and Elena, the manageress, were very helpful through the rental process and afterwards, our stay. The villa is very comfortable and very well equipped. The ladies that are in charge of the cleaning are fantastic and so is the pool guy who came early morning to clean the outdoors and make ready the sun beds and open parasols and again in the evening to close them. 5 ⭐️ hotel service! Having said that, I believe that the property could benefit from a little maintenance. Nothing major, but things like re cushioning the dining chairs and getting new bins for the bathrooms, will be good. Also, it would be a good idea to get a generator. Unfortunately there were full day power cuts on the last days of our stay and was told that they happen every now and then, so a generator will be of great help to cover on these occasions. It was our first time in Kalkan and we didn’t know that it’d be so hilly. Sometimes it proved to be a little bit of a challenge to climb the short distance between the parking and the house, as we usually did this after a long day out or dinner at one of the many great restaurant in the Old Town. To park in the house is a bit tricky and although we’d three cars in different sizes, none was suitable. I wouldn’t recommend even attempting it. Eventually we got use to the climbing and long forgotten leg muscles, became alive! ? We’re back with happy memories! ?

Our family of six stayed for two weeks in this delightful villa. The pool was the perfect size for all of us and was well used throughout the day and into the late evening. The villa was clean and the beds were so comfortable. The size of the villa and its various patios meant that we had plenty of space for us all. We had a problem with the fridge freezer when we first arrived, but a new one was purchased and fitted within a couple of days. One of the bathrooms had mosaic tiles missing and a leaking toilet but there was a spare room so that the guests could stay in there. The road to the villa is extremely steep. It was fine for us, but if you had mobility issues it would be a problem. The staff that looked after the villa were fantastic. We had bread delivered every day and bottled water at our request. We also used the recommended taxi service from the airport and back again, which was punctual and extremely efficient. We are missing the Villa like mad and would definately come again

A lovely 5 bedroomed air conditioned villa overlooking Kalkan bay. Great pool, BBQ and relaxation areas around the pool and the roof terrace. 2 Families were accommodated easily. Its situated on a very steep hill, so make sure you have grippy shoes!

if you have any mobility issues this villa might not work for you. To access the villa you have to walk up a very steep road as it’s almost impossible to park your car in the villa car parking space (we had to leave our cars at the bottom ) therefore you have to walk down the very steep road to get your car (make sure you have suitable footwear ) I don’t like to be negative but this would have been a big problem for my husband last year after knee surgery The villa is beautiful and very well equipped and we had a lovely stay

Exceptional villa with fabulous view and very spacious. We had a superb holiday.

A large well maintained holiday villa with excellent facilities and views
