Villa Kirmizi Lale, Private Pool, Gardens, Very Close to Town - No Need for Taxi

Villa Kirmizi Lale was ideally located for our family of 7. Relaxing and quiet by day and great access to the buzz of Kalkan by night. Villa is high spec and we'll proportioned with good size rooms and plenty of bathrooms. Outside space suited us perfectly with sun loungers for all and of course the essential pool.Muhammet was on hand with any queries and booked restaurants and boat trips for us making life easy. We had a brilliant family holiday and very tempted to come back again . Highly recommend .

This villa is an absolute gem! The villa's decor shows this has been a home, not just a rental, with clever artwork and sculptures. Once we understood the subtle links to the villa's name, we created a game to spot them all. On the practical side. The villa itself had everything we needed as a family of 5 (with late teen kids). Everyone had a decent sized room and a place to shower. Water pressure was excellent. The living area was comfortable and spacious. Plenty of comfortable sunbeds, sun umbrellas and the pool was a perfect size and depth. You can have plenty of sun all day, but also find shaded areas at any stage if you prefer. Fantastic location. It's close to the main street with all the restaurants/banks/supermarkets etc (5 min walk), but I must stress that it is not noisy at the villa at all. It is about a 10-15 min walk down the main street to the Old Town area. Such an ideal location. Last note is that Felicity's communication and knowledge of the area is brilliant. Her reps whilst you are there are on another level. Muhammet in our case, was able to assist with the most random of questions about the area. His local knowledge and assistance will always be appreciated.

This is a high quality villa with lovely pool and gardens and wonderful moutain and sea views. Several beautiful seating areas and lots of shade provided. Nearest bars, markets and restaurants a few minutes walk and 10- 15 minute walk downhill to the old town, harbour and beach. Highly recommend.

This is our second stay at Kirmizi Lale and I can thoroughly recommend this villa. The standard of furnishings are very high and the outside of the villa is stunning. The location is perfect, near enough to walk into town but a cheap taxi ride home when the legs are too tired! There are three supermarkets nearby which stock a wide variety of goods. There are also bars and restaurants close by if you don't want to venture too far to go out. Yusuf and his team are very helpful and accommodating. Felicity (the owner) is very friendly and between them they cannot do enough for you to ensure that you enjoy your stay. Already planning our third stay at this villa for next year!

Excellent villa. Fantastic owner, eating out is varied in price , so should suit all budgets. People are friendly.

A truly perfect home from home villa experience. The villa is spotless inside and out due to Yusuf and his team. The villa is spacious with 5***** bathrooms, The roof terrace views are amazing. It was also really nice to actually meet the owner, Felicity, during our stay she is extremely proud of her villa and all the fine details reflect this. We will definately be reccommending to our family and friends.

Good location with pool. Ideal for 5 people to explore the area.

Our flight from Istanbul was delayed by 90 minutes. We arrived at the Villa Kirmizi Lale after midnight. The manager, Yusuf, was on hand to help with luggage and give us an orientation. The villa is on a par with a 4-star hotel. Very clean, comfortable and safe, with all required elements to ensure a comfortable and safe stay. The owner, Felicity, is justifiably very proud of her villa and it shows in the presentation. The villa can comfortably sleep 10 guests and with a party of only three was incredibly spacious. For those who like a real physical challenge, the villa sits on top of a punishing hill. You can accept the challenge and be rewarded by a refreshing dip in the pool or you can decline and take a cheap taxi ride. We accepted and felt fitter at the end of our trip. Kalkan is well situated at the foot of the Taurus mountains. It is a virtual sun trap for the sun worshipers. Temperatures (late June/early July) varied between 31 and 43 degrees with bearable humidity. Highly recommend the Saklikent Gorge jeep safari. Buy some water balloons at the first stop and carry water in any vessel you can find. The reason will become quickly apparent and was incredible fun!! The food was basic but the overall experience was great! Horse riding in Patara was cool but do take care to wear long trousers as horses take you past fields with what looks like thistle. It is very rewarding to take a jeep or taxi ride into the mountains and visit the nearby villages like Bezirgan. Very, very tranquil and a good way to de-stress. Nightlife is very good for families. The restaurant owners are not too pushy and the service was fair to good. Recommend Gusto, Aubergine, Linekers' (for dog lovers), Seaport and Sunset (with a great view over the harbour and water). A special mention for those who like a huge satisfying, healthy breakfast, there is a great little bakery with seating area on the main street down a few shops from the Anka supermarket. Overall, we agreed that Kalkan is in our top-2 places to visit for guaranteed weather, food, service and amenities. Villa Kirmizi Lale rates as our number 1 villa accommodation, to date.

Our third stay in Felicity's villa and fourth time in Kalkan. The villa is large and very well equipped. The updated bathrooms and terrace area made the stay even better. The pool was a great way to cool off on hot late September afternoons. Location is close to supermarkets and we discovered some new great restaurants closer to the villa without needing to walk into town. The Yali Beach Club was also a new enjoyable and low cost experience. All round highly recommended

We have just returned from a week at this lovely villa for just the two of us, there was so much space but is certainly big enough for much larger groups. It is well furnished and equipped to a high standard, and very clean. We did not use the kitchen much as Kalkan has some amazing restaurants.There is lots of outside space, a great pool and plenty of sun loungers and shades. Also a great seating area for those who wish to sit in the shade. There is a third floor, we used this area for a quiet drink before bed, it has comfortable seating and a fridge and great to admire the views. The villa is a good ten minutes walk down to the old town, but must admit we got a taxi back, for very little cost. Felicity was very friendly and welcoming and Yusef easily reachable if any problems. We would certainly stay at Kirmizi Lale again plus Kalkan holds a special place in our hearts.
