Highly desirable, quality villa with private pool, close proximity to the sea

The villa was superb very well equipped the pool was perfect we all really enjoyed our stay there . Will definitely be planning to return in the future .

We had a wonderful holiday and received an excellent service from Pippa and her property managers Karyn and Irfan. We loved the location and the view from the villa.

The villa is nicely positioned with west facing views across the bay giving lovely views of the sunset, especially from the roof terrace. Water Taxi into the town centre was 25TL pp & a very relaxing way to start the evening. The villa really is a home from home with lots of nice touches that you often don't get - a local mobile phone to use, beach towels, books, games, shopping bags, spare socket adapters, etc. Karyn & Irfan look after you well & are more than happy to help out in any way they can. There are a number of beach clubs within a few minutes walk, each slightly different in their atmosphere. They all offer access to the lovely clear, deep water & water sports such as canoeing, paddle boards, boat hire, jet skis, etc.

We had a brilliant stay at the villa. It really is so well equipped and comfortable. The local beach is beautiful and it’s great at the beach club. We didn’t need a car as the water taxis ran regularly across the bay to Kalkan. Highly recommended and would love to spend another holiday there.

I booked this villa very last minute and due to the current covid19 situation was worried whether I was doing the right thing. I travelled with my husband and 3 teenage kids and as NHS workers ( and having taught covid) we have been working flat out and very overdue a rest. I needn't have had any anxieties about the property at all. From booking the villa with Pippa, the owner at a very reasonable price to communicating with Karyn, the property manager in Kalkan everything was straightforward, helpful and professional with very quick responses to my multiple queries. We arranged our own airport transfers(although Karyn did offer) we also hired a car locally from Kalkan for the rest of trip. The villa is actually in a village called Kisla which is about a 10 minute walk from Kalkan. You can get free water taxis from beach over. It is very hilly so be prepared with comfy shoes if walking but taxis are cheap and plentiful. The villa was spotless with everything you could think of for a comfortable stay plus more. Plenty of towels! Don't take any at all! My kids loved playing chess by the pool and the inflatables were fun. Pippa has thought of everything you could possibly need including sun hats, shopping bags and even an umbrella! There are books ,DVD'S,cards and board games. Each bedroom has a lovely terrace The kids loved having a bedroom and bathroom each! The roof terrace is quite a climb but the views with it, recommend it for breakfast and evening drinks. The egg swing chair was a firm favourite and the bread delivered by Irfan daily who cleans the pool was much cheaper than the shops, fresh and delicious. Thankyou to Karyn for the shopping delivered for our arrival. I would definitely arrange a hire car if you are considering this villa as it gave us flexibility to pop to town and other areas of interest at our own convenience without relying on others. We managed trips to Olundeniz, Hisaronu for shopping (we compared prices and cheapest for shopping and you can park in front of the shops for free before 7, haggle though!) ,Fethiye Tuesday market Pamukkale, Patara beach (gorgeous at sunset ,soft sand and water is NOT deep quite a way in ). Saklikent gorge where we also did tubing. The kids also did parasailing and the inflatable sofa at Aristos watersports. Minor issues- villa is overlooked by neighbouring villas so not as private as I hoped, other minor issues with hot water, toilet flushes breaking all resolved quickly, thx

This lovely villa in the Kisla area of Kalkan is a fabulous place to stay. Pippa was really helpful with all of our queries during booking and we were so well looked after by Karyn and Irfan once there. The villa is well equipped and has loads of indoor and outside space- perfect for 2 families. The pool is a good size and Irfan comes every day to clean and check it- his cheerful smile and friendly manner were a welcome sight each morning and not just because of the fresh bread he brought us. We would highly recommend taking up Karyn's offer of organising food shopping - it is stress free and getting warm rotisserie chicken delivered was a welcome treat. The villa has everything you need including a mobile phone which was so handy to call Ayan the taxi driver who took us many times across to Kalkan centre but also Kalamar ( you really don't need a car to stay here and cost effective airport transfers were arranged by Pippa and Karyn). The watersports provided by Aristos near Indigo beach club are highly recommended ( the food at Indigo is really good) as is the scuba diving at Kalamar ( this beach club is great for snorkeling). The local beach club is just a few minutes walk and free to use - their food prices are more expensive than the pay to enter beach clubs but can usually grant you a free water taxi across to Kalkan habour in the evening. There are loads of great adventures to be had including boat trips ( we loved our day with Ramazan on his boat Eylul) and quad biking- just as examples. There is an amazing choice of restaurants serving excellent food and the market on Thursday is well worth a visit. We loved our 2 weeks here and would not hesitate to recommend it.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Kisla during our 2 week holiday. This is our 4th time in Kalkan and we always stay in Kisla. It is close to the. beach club and within easy walking distance to he water which enabled us to have our morning swim every single day. We have stayed in Villa Kaplumbaga before and it was wonderful but this time, we had a perfect stay. The villa is the cleanest and most organized property we have ever stayed in. We had everything we needed from kitchen utensils to towels. Irfan kept our outside space clean and organized and Karyn made sure that we have everything we need. The property is managed wonderfully by Karyn with impeccable attention to detail- one would think that is the only property that she manages We will be back next year, hopefully to Villa Kaplumbaga again, and we plan to stay longer Perfect holiday!

Wow! What an amazing villa! Cannot fault it! Very spacious inside, modern and well equipped.... even down to sun hats available to borrow and books to read. The views from every part of this villa are outstanding and never failed to take my breath away. Outside is also very spacious with different seating areas and good sized pool cleaned daily by Irfan.... who also Delivers a loaf of fresh bread every day. We would describe the interior and exterior of the villa as luxurious. This is our second time to Kalkan and we would not hesitate to return to this gorgeous villa. The villa is situated in Kisla which is just over a mile from Kalkan- easily walkable ; we did it daily. Alternatively the water taxi from the beach club is a most pleasant way to travel to the charming harbour with its fabulous restaurants. Also there is an abundance of taxis available for 20 lira ( about £3.) The Kalkan beach club is a 2 minute walk down the road with great drinks, food and various fun activities such as water slide and canoes which are all free. Several other restaurants are within a few minutes walk of the villa as is Bobs supermarket which is pricey but convenient. Karyn manages the villa and is on hand to answer any questions and sort out any excursions. Cannot recommend highly enough. Nicky

As always, what a wonderful stay in Kalkan. A place close to my heart. This is my 4th time staying in Villa K and every time it feels like it gets better and better. The villa is kitted out with everything we needed to make our stay a comfortable one without loosing a warm homely feeling. The rooftop views at sunset are one of my all time favourite places to. A truly magical and reflective location. The owner of the property goes out of their way to think of what the villa needs - and then some! Everything is well - maintened and cared for. Going to Kalkan Beach club for an afternoon dip is a must - along with a iced coffee! If you go for an early morning swim, you may be in luck to see a turtle or 2! Taking out a day boat with Deniz is also an unmissable experience, we spent the whole day swimming with turtles in quiet, secluded bays! I have no doubt that I’ll be back!

This is a great place to stay. 3 minutes walk from Kalkan beach Club. Our 3 teenage boys could have their independence within a reasonable distance from us! The villa is well equipped with everything you need. The gardens and pool are cleaned daily by Irfan who will deliver bread every morning if asked. Karyn Rutherford who runs the villa is an absolute gem. This was our first time to Turkey and she made everything possible, no job too little or too big. Kalkan is a 15 minute sea taxi ride away or 10 minutes in ordinary taxi. Do not hesitate to book this property, definitely value for money!! The boys each had their own room with en-suite and a balcony.
