The title of my review covers it really except to add Villa Gul has the most helpful and pleasant owner Omer Celik on hand you could ever wish for , nothing is too much trouble . We always use Olive tree travel because we are 100% assured of efficiency from start to finish ensuring a trouble free relaxing holiday throughout .
A lovely villa, perfect for our family. We often had a BBQ in the evening and watched the sunset from the terrace .
We have just enjoyed a wonderful family holiday - 10 of us - at the beautiful High House, Kalamar Bay, Kalkan. The property is stunning and finished to a high quality with fabulous views over the bay. A ten minute taxi ride from the town makes it accessible to all the amenities with some lovely little cafe/bars within walking distance. Superb!
Great Villa with beautiful views, We had the recommended wine delivery on arrival. We had bread delivery every morning. There is loads of space for 10 people not to be on top of each other. Close proximity to all amenities with out too much hassle. All in all a very relaxing holiday, lovely villa and Olive Tree travel were easy to deal with.
We loved the location of this villa. Right by the beach clubs and near to some local restaurants and shops with just a short taxi ride into Kalkan centre. We liked the different levels of this villa as we felt that it gave us various options to relax throughout the day. My husband loved the sauna! We’ve booked with Olive Tree Travel and both times they’ve been so helpful and model great communication.
10 out of 10? Top quality accommodation in every respect with efficient and helpful staff and a wonderful owner.
This is a stunning villa incredibly well appointed.The pool was a good size and the outside space was very generous.Well designed inside with spacious bedrooms and well equipped kitchen. Bonus for us was how close to shops and local restaurants it is so that you don’t always need to go into town.
We loved our stay in villa Poyraz - great showers and comfy beds. Kitchen very well equipped. Lovely beach towels
Villa Sura is in a brilliant location with amazing views. It is a ten minute walk into the centre or a short taxi ride. You will find everything you need including a roof top bar, jacuzzi, spacious pool, barbeque area and a sauna. The rooms are all beautiful with attention to detail where the furnishings match each other. You will have a wonderful stay.
Another fantastic time in Kalkan. Everything ran smoothly and we love this apartment. Clean, well looked after, good air con, easy reach of town and water sports, pool is fantastic for both us and our three kids. Zal in resort provided good up to date information on our first morning even though we have been before. Transfers organised by Olive Tree and the Gulet cruises were smooth and exceptional as I have come to expect from them.
Has absolutely everything you would need. Gorgeous outside space with pool. Owner very helpful and replied back very quickly. 10 min walk into town.
Our stay at Villa Blossom was amazing! The villa was clean, tidy and very spacious, we loved the different areas to chill out and wind down. There was a table tennis table which absolutely made the trip, which wasnt shown on the pictures, so we were absolutely over the moon with this. The villa was absolutely amazing - honestly so worth it. We will defo be back :)
Thank you Olive Tree - excellent communication from start to finish and very helpful Thank you Tas Evi - what a beautiful villa with the most stunning views! Excellent location Thank you Kalkan - full of character, lovely people, wonderful restaurants and bars! The best holiday!
We had an amazing holiday stay at The Cactus House, it is a beautiful villa with so much space and so many wonderful facilities. The level of comfort and attention to detail for every aspect of a holiday was appreciated so much and just made the stay so enjoyable and relaxing. The housekeeper was so helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble he made sure that everything ran smoothly in the house. The pool area was the best I have ever visited with such a large pool and multiple sunny or shaded area to relax and enjoy the holiday. We will definitely visit again.
The villa was just prefect for 2 families and there was more than enough room. We had a 4 year old, and a 8 and 11 year old and 4 adults. I can't speak highly enough of Villa Mirage. We are thinking of booking this villa again for about the same time next year.
Villa Juniper is a lovely villa with great views from the balcony, it has everything you need for a relaxing holiday, in an ideal position very close to all the amenities, the walk into Kalkan old town is about 15mins which is ideal.
Had a fabulous week in Muscadet Villa(dry white) Beautiful outside area with plenty space and variety of seating areas. Lovely pool and Jacuzzi(cold) which were very welcome in the intense heat. The option to have deliveries was excellent and taxis readily available and cheap to go into town.
We booked this lovely villa for a special occasion with our families We all had a wonderful time and the Villa was perfect
Villa Caretta is an exceptionally comfortable, spacious, well furnished and kitted-out villa, with a lovely terraced garden (offering shade) and swimming pool. Great location just c.10 mins walk from the Old Town and even closer to the market and supermakets. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough.
Excellent new Villa with all amenities at a 5 star hotel. Great location, 2 x heated pools, sauna, gym, game room, hammam room and cinema room. Great views and very helpful staff.
This is our 12th stay in Kalkan and this was the most wonderful fully equipped villa we have stayed in. I have travelled far and wide over the years and stayed in some amazing villas this was one of the best. The beds were amazing I always hate the beds in Turkey! I cannot complain or add anything. Really really wonderful villa. Thank you we will be back.
This villa was the best we have stayed in. Gorgeous outside area- very spacious. Amenities is the villa were great- never had such a good welcome pack. Washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, washing powder etc- this made such a difference- very welcoming. Had cause to contact manage team re outside light issue- extremely quick response. HUGE tv- lush! Great mattresses! Very comfy There was nothing negative. But if I was being VERY picky, bedside lights in all bedrooms is a must!!! Hopefully this can be easily rectified before our next stay please!!!!!!!! LOVED THIS VILLA. Will defo co...more
Fab position for us but you need to mention how many steps are up to villa and the steep paths/ roads around villa into town in villa description Depth of pool needs making clear for non swimming persons . Pool table cues need new tips most were missing All minor things but worth a mention . Overall one of the best villa stays we have had in over 25 years
We stayed at Villa Manor and I could not fault it, everything had been thought of and the aesthetics of the villa was beautiful. Close to town, a five minute walk(steep) to lovely restaurants…would definately go back again absolutely nothing to dislike!
Shore House feels like staying in a home from home with lots of little stylish touches. Well located, very comfy beds, plentiful towels, nice pool and lots of kitchen amenities. We were a group of 4 girls and it worked well as a shared space.
We loved our stay at the apartment and have booked for next year 2025. The Olive tree travel team and the maintenance team at Kalkan were fantastic. Thank you.
This was our first Visit to Kalkan, and it was beyond all of our expectations! The villa was just beautiful and so even nicer than the pictures we saw, we are a family of 5 and it was just perfect for us in every way, the villa was so spacious with a large outdoor space and fantastic pool. The Villa was well Equipped with everything you would need and we even had a mid stay clean with fresh bedding and towels. Olive tree travel thought of absolutely everything from Taxi numbers, takeaway numbers, food shopping deliveries etc etc, Olive Tree Travel made sure we had everything we needed throu...more
We were 3 couples staying over 2 weeks and we have visited Kalkan staying in Villas 6 times before. Villa Greenwich exceeded our expectations on every level. Very spacious in and outside, very well equipped (needed bins in the bedrooms), perfect location, comfortable outdoor beds and seating. The upstairs Jacuzzi and bar area for evening drinks and views was very special. We would definitely stay there again.
Had the most fantastic stay at Villa Zen! Beautiful villa in an excellent location! Olive Tree Travel were excellent would highly recommend!!!
Had a wonderful stay at Harbour Heights - The Penthouse, beautiful apartment very spacious outside with amazing views Own pool was a bonus with lovely garden the staff who maintain the property were lovely ,this booking was pre- covid and was well worth the wait. Many thanks to Debbie and staff at Olive tree travel for assistance Regards, Graeme and Shona.
High standard of bill, very well maintained, very clean, lovely view. Zal was very helpful and was always at the end of the phone to help when asked x
The Villa was fantastic for our group of 7 people. Fantastic size, lots of ooohs and aaaahs on arrival as it is quite impressive villa. Great pool and the views were amazing. Was very well equipped, and the addition of the games room and cinema are great. Beds super comfy. Its a short downhill walk to the town, 10 mins , we did use the local taxis and they are great value and plentiful. We loved it and would for sure stay again and recommend to others.
This villa has a truly magical position and view, its epic and we were amazed at the location. Its on a very very very steep road however which was a bit hair raising in the hire car! The villa is great, really well equipped and feels like a home, great quality of kit in the kitchen - I love to cook and also great quality rooms. Omer who looks after the house and comes daily to check the pool was also great and really helped make our second week perfect. My only feedback points on the villa are that some things are a bit tired. The outside furniture and umbrellas are all a bit old and tat...more
Cannot recommend this villa enough - it is so beautiful! Furnished to an extremely high standard and has everything you could want. The indoor kitchen had all the pots and utensils that we needed, water is filtered so you can drink straight from the taps and the outdoor kitchen and BBQ were also very well equipped. There is an indoor sauna in the villa which we used and was great, there is also a Turkish Hammam which unfortunately we didn’t get around to using. The 5 bedrooms are all beautiful, mostly en-suite with only one not en-suite (but has its own bathroom across the hall). All bedroo...more
The apartment was really well located. It had a beautiful pool with very comfortable sun beds. The accommodation was fully furnished and the water dispenser was a very nice addition. The beds were very comfortable and bed linen and pool towels were of good quality. It would have been good to know there was a restaurant right next door, that unfortunately did play quite loud music during the day although they always turned the volume down when requested.
Absolutely stunning property - spacious and airy with plenty of room for everyone including 2 rooftop terraces with stunning views and a lovely little courtyard off the kitchen . Location is perfect - close to the beach and harbour for access to the beach club water taxis. Close to all the lovely restaurants but also quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be back
Lovely apartment in a quiet road not far from the old town and harbour. Some steep hills to cope with but good exercise. Very large bedrooms, all very clean and tidy. Private pool was a real bonus and great for the kids. Loved Kalkan and planning to return next year.
Great villa Great location Great in resort assistance for any issues/questions Kalkan great for foodie hotel Not so suitable for those with less mobility as very hilly Would return
On our first trip to Kalkan we spent a week at Villa Amelia. A spacious villa which was well-equipped and well-maintained in a great location. The efficient air conditioning was much appreciated. The roof top terrace was a real haven in the evenings whilst the pool was great during the day. We could not have asked for more. We loved the resident tortoises in the garden too! We would highly recommend this villa.
Great stay in Topaz apartment, Olive Tree Travel provide great customer service. The location is perfect!
Fab pool area and villa Well maintained Steps up to villa and taxi driver Caddy carried all the suitcases up Get the Olive Tree transfer
We loved Villa Honu- it was perfect for our group of 6. The pool is a decent size and the villa isn’t massively overlooked as can be the case in Kalkan. The rooms and bathrooms are comfortable and the communal spaces are great - the teenagers loved the pool table. My only criticism is the blinds are white so not great if you’re used to black- out blinds or have young children perhaps. I’m glad I chose Villa Honu and I’d recommend Olive Tree Travels as they were very helpful when booking.
Amazing property, accurately described on The Olive Tree website. We had the most fabulous family holiday!
Beautiful Villa in every way, location, cleanliness, can't wait to come back again. First time using Olive Tree Travel can't recommend them highly enough. Now wouldn't use anyone else.
We had a lovely holiday at Jade Apartment in Kalkan. It is in a lovely position with great views. Spotlessly clean and bright and airy.
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this excellent villa. Furniture and fittings are very comfortable and of a great standard. The kitchen is superbly equipped. The two terraces are well appointed. The sun loungers and umbrellas are perfect. The pool is a great size and well maintained. The location is great, close to Migros and local bars but away from the main road. Minor issue with the electrics on our last day but this was resolved within an hour. Olive Tree reps are swift to respond to any queries or requests. This is one of the finest villas we have stayed in. The owners have really gone out ...more
An absolutely wonderful property - we were two families with a total of 5 teenage children. Spacious, well equipped and with easy access to all local amenities. Couldn’t fault it!
Very nice villa. Great location. Could do with more lighting in the bedrooms. Other than that, great
Stunning apartment in an ideal location, handy 10 mins walk to town. Lovely furnishings Great having your own pool, sun on the apartment all day long Would definitely return & recommend
The owner of the villa was incredibly accommodating, especially given the uncertainty around travel at the moment. Communication from booking onwards has been quick, easy and incredibly courteous. Instructions for accessing the villa were clear and straightforward and we experienced no problems at all. The welcome pack (including fresh bread, milk, jam etc.) was a lovely touch and the information pack provided invaluable hints and tips that made our stay effortless, such as supermarket delivery and numbers of local taxis. The villa itself was a 5 minute taxi rider from the centre of to...more
Lovely modernised villa with lovely courtyard. Roof top quite small. Great location for town and beach.
Previously we have stayed in villas so wasn't sure what to expect from an apartment, but were very pleased. Bedrooms were all good sizes, living area for the number of people was arguably small, but given we spent little time indoors it was sufficient. Pool & outdoor space for an apartment were amazing. Apartment was very well well equipped, it was a home from home. Location was good with easy access to the market, supermarkets, town & Kalmar Road, taxi was preferable for the return journey, for the cost involved it wasn't worth the up hill walk but we do it in the day. There isn't a s...more
Stayed here for 12 nights in September. Villa looks exactly like the pictures. Location is excellent about a 10min walk from the top of kalkan town. Also there are 2 supermarkets within a couple of minutes walk from the villa. Pool was lovely and got the sun from about half 9 in the morning until half 4. Used the hot tub / roof top for evening sun. Can also get boats to beach clubs from the harbour in Kalkan. Lots of places to eat and drink. Also some restaurants near the villa (5min walk) if you don’t want to walk into the town every night. Olive Tree Travel were great. Prompt reply to email...more
Enjoyed a good stay at the lovely Villa Gozcu in komerluk. Found the villa very spacious and in the perfect location to enjoy kalkan and all it had to offer. The facilities at the villa were good with everything needed provided for our stay. Would recommend this villa to larger parties of guests.
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Harika - this was our 3rd time booking this villa & never fails to disappoint. The pictures on olive tree website do not do this Villa any justice as there have been many upgrades to the villa that photos don’t show. It’s truly out of this world. Thank you so much to olive tree travel for being the most helpful company I have ever dealt with. We hopefully will be back next year
We stayed here for two weeks in September, as a party of three. The pictures really don’t do justice to this place. It’s tastefully decorated and modern, and the outside spaces are lovely. Kitchen was fully equipped, we lacked no utensils or amenities. The living area was very comfy and the air conditioning throughout was perfect. The bedrooms are roomy and the bathrooms great (shower pressure probably the best I’ve known in Kalkan over our many stays, as was the reliability of the WIFI). Despite the apartment being in a duplex, we were surprised by just how quiet it was. We heard no noise wha...more
We had a lovely stay at Asfiya retreats. The apartment has everything that you need. The location is excellent and only a ten minute walk into the centre of Kalkan. I would recommend the apartment for couples and the pool is really good. The only criticism I have is the bed in the double room is extremely hard. Apart from this, an excellent stay. Thank you.
Would highly recommend this villa to anyone thinking about holidaying in Kalkan. All the bedrooms were a very good size with very comfortable beds, and very effective aircon. Kitchen equipment was good and had everything we needed (could have done with some additional large glasses) and the pool and outside area was lovely. Location is very good on the Kalkan road, overlooking the road but wasn’t a problem with nose or traffic. Was a 15 min walk into Kalkan old town, with lots of lovely restaurants and bars within a few minutes easy walk.
Wonderful stay at Villa Pearl - we would highly recommend! We travelled as two families with kids ranging from 9 years old up to 20 years old and everyone had a ball! Excellent service from the start to finish - couldn't recommend Villa Pearl or Kalkan more highly. Thank you for a fabulous trip.
We were 2 couples staying at the Villa. We all had a wonderful time. The villa was very spacious, clean and suited all our needs. It was not our first choice of area to stay in Kalkan but was absolutely fine with only a 10 minute walk to the town. Any issues we had were sorted immediately with the Samira Resort. We had housekeeping 3 times in the 10 days which was adequate. I would definitely recommend staying there. We booked through Olive Tree Travel who were fantastic. Very prompt and efficient with any questions we had and always available if needed.
Another fantastic late summer week in Kalkan. Lovely villa, convenient location for our group, all contributed to a great holiday. Well looked after by Olive Tree Travel before and during our stay.
Wonderful Villa with amazing views across Kalkan harbour and Kalamar bay. Lovely infinity pool and jacuzzi on top floor balcony. Amenities are very good. If there was one slight downside it is the very steep roads to get down to the main roads. These are challenging going down as well as up but taxis are only 60 lira so well worth the money. I would happily stay here again.
Wow Wow Wow from initial arrival to the 12 nights later when we reluctantly left this very special villa in an amazing location. Villa Alaeddin is magical and Kalkan is a must visit holiday destination. Olive tree travel are the most professional holiday villa company too who are simply brilliant.
We had an amazing holiday at villa Seascape. The views from the villa are fantastic and we are missing them already. I would recommend this villa to anyone.
Our 5th time here, and it won't be our last. That says it all! Fabulous in every way! There is nothing we'd change.
The most perfect villa for its location, views, comfort & ease. We love the peace of Kisla and this villa was absolutely perfect. The most comfortable beds, great patio with lovely sofas for chilling and a balcony off bedroom for morning cuppa with a fantastic view and a much appreciated free chilled water dispenser. We would highly recommend and definitely return.
This is a fabulous apartment which provides the private space of a Villa in the perfect location, overlooking the bay and within easy walking distance (steep streets aside) of the old town and harbour and close to some local amenities in the Kalamar Road. Although part of a block with another apartment above we never felt overlooked or crowded (although had the upstairs apartment used their bedroom balcony this might have been different). The outside terrace does lose the sun in late afternoon, the pool is small - (but ideal for keeping cool on those hot summer days) and in August the mosquit...more
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Villa Amethyst. The location was ideal for us. The views over the bay are stunning. The cleaning team were excellent as was Samet the local management contact. The villa had everything that we needed and we especially appreciated the water cooler and the fresh drinking water tap. One of the best properties that we have ever stayed in.
We loved our stay at Cira Villa. Everything was perfect - incredibly clean and really well equipped with plenty of seating outside and inside. The pool was so clean and well used in the august heat! - we really couldn’t have asked for anything more. The view of Kalkan from the villa was amazing and lovely to wake up to every morning. The walk into Kalkan took about 20 minutes with some very steep roads and involved crossing a main road (via pedestrian bridges) The uphill walk back was tougher especially in the August heat. However taxis were very reasonable so we relied on them after a nig...more
One of the best villas we have ever stayed in. The Pool area was superb and the villa had everything we needed . The quality of the furnishings were really good and the sun beds were great. It was great to have all of the rooms en-suite and our family were really comfortable. We visited a lot of the restaurants which were all of high quality but needed to taxi back because of the steep roads and the heat . Not a problem though as taxis were plentiful and cheap. Would highly recommend .
Turtle bay villla is excellently situated on a penninsula with great views over the sea where there were amazing sunsets just like on the photographs. With the infinity pool it was stunning. The house was spacious, clean and modern and easy for 6 adults to have plenty space. Great bedrooms with balcony with views. Good outdoor space and sunbeds in sun and seating in shade. It was mostly private but there was some visibility into the outside space from the road, but this was not too noticeable. Regular buses to the town of Kas were easy to catch. Local hotels were easy to eat at. Olive tree tra...more
Great apartment in a very convenient location to Kalkan's old town (the main area of shops and restaurants). Probably one of the small number of apartments/villa's where you don't need a taxi back up the hills! Apartment itself was very nice, very clean and modern. Pool was a good size and received sun from the early morning until about 5pm (August - may change with season). We arrived to a fresh hamper of biscuits, bread, jam, milk, orange juice which was a nice touch. All in all, great place to stay
Our family of six had a happy week in Villa Mavi. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was clean, and the bedlinen was high quality and the beds were comfy. There isn't a huge amount of outside space but enough for all of us to have a sun lounger. Like most of Kalkan the villa is steep - there are a lot of steps from ground to top floor. So bear in mind if you've young children or elderly with you. We felt the villa was value for money; friends staying nearby had larger villas with better views but paid £900-£1,000 more per week. The only tiny thing we'd have changed was the cleaners arri...more
Having just returned from a 9-night stay in Kalkan we can safely say, this won't be our last visit. Villa Phi is a fantastic Villa overall with a modern decor and also boasting an indoor and outdoor pool. My only gripe would be that the outside pool isn't heated and wasn't made clear at the time of booking so as a result, it didn't get used as much as i'd have liked as the water was rather chilly this time of year. The indoor pool whilst heated felt very weak and wasn't comfortable initially but you soon acclimatised. The location is brilliant as you are just outside of the hustle and...more
This villa is in a perfect location on the Kalamar Road - an excellent range of restaurants, supermarkets and the Elixir Hotel with the best spa in Kalkan (Nur & Haken) . The ground floor has been recently refurbished - a well-equipped kitchen and good furnishings in the open plan lounge/dining area. The bedrooms are a good size - with plenty of storage - unfortunately there was a build up of mould in some of the showers which was unattractive. The shower in the twin bedroom is quite small - fine for children. We had a few issues concerning the property which were dealt with speedily by...more
I have been visiting Kalkan annually for over 25 years, staying in the old town for the past 20, and this villa is in the most perfect spot. Great sea view, and 2 minutes to bars and restaurants. A lovely pool, plus small jacuzzi pool - perfect for young children. My 7 year old granddaughter loved it. The villa was spacious, and well maintained. We would certainly stay here again.
Villa Dolluca is a great villa, in a great location, in the hills of Kalkan. The views across the bay are perfect for the start of the day or to enjoy a spectacular sunset. The villa was very clean and well laid out with comfortable furniture and bed. The private area behind the pool was perfect to catch some late afternoon sun even on a windy day. You do need to be aware that there is a tannoy installed on a pole on the road nearby which is very loud when prays are given. The steps to the villa are very steep so might not suit more elderly or physically challenged people. This is a grea...more
Fantastic Villa / great views (really is as good as the photos) Great day out on the Gulet Boat (booked through Olive Tree Travel) Great customer service from Zal and Deniz Kalkan is a lovely little town, with many, many wonderful rooftop restaurants. The place comes alive at night, and has a wonderful atmosphere.
We recently stayed at this apartment after the long wait to return to Kalkan. We used Olivetreetravel to book the villa and they have been excellent since we first used them in 2020. The villa has a lot of positives: - Great size, easily big enough for 10 people even though there were only six in our party - The Pool was cleaned every day and the cleaning service was excellent. - The proximity to the local Micros and the Town is just right. We could walk into Town with our 70+ relative in about 15 minutes. I could probably do it in 10. - The view from the pool is excellent as it is r...more
Villa was immaculate - excellent condition and spotlessly clean. Any questions quickly and easily resolved by Ali and Zal. Pool was perfect, everything we wanted. Aircon a welcome relief as it was very hot. We were also very grateful to the owners who allowed us a late checkout on the Saturday making our final day / return trip very easy.
For us, Harbour Heights is perfect in every way. Amazing views, the location is perfect and close to a beach club.
Great location close to the sea, but difficult to get to - access via a step slope and a number of steps . No direct access from any road and tucked behind lots of other villas. Nightmare when you are bringing bags and shopping back to the villa - this was not clearly described . There were various very tired elements to the house which should have been sorted before it was rented out - difficult to use chipped hob, rusty washing machine, dripping loos, mechanical failure of an electrical mirror in one of the bedrooms- so you only have 15cm of mirror in the master bedroom. Many cold showers ...more
This is a great villa for what we need and I feel harsh for only giving it a 4 for condition and location, but I'll explain why because they are a 5 for my family, but might be a 4 for others. We stayed in the villa a couple of years ago so it was nice to see there had been some updates and a little freshening up around the place. It wasn't a bad place before, but a lick of paint does wonders. As I have said, the location is perfect for us as it is 3 minutes from a bar if you don't want to walk into town and a 10 minute walk (all down hill) if you do. As always in Kalkan, you can get your ...more
We had an excellent stay at Amore. Some small changes made since our last stay but nothing significant so still comfortable and decently equipped. Other than sharpening the knives and adding in a couple of other kitchen tools - we had a child with us so had to eat in most evenings - it was great. The location is brilliant and the pools. In October lots of owners of the apartments staying and that was quite cliquey but if you don’t care about that (we didn’t) then you will have a brilliant stay. The managers onsite are fabulous and so helpful....
Wonderful duplex penthouse in a fab location just off Kalamar Road. Close to all amenities and a short 10 min walk in to town. We know the area well so knew this would be a perfect location for us. The apartment was spotless, very modern and has everything you need (and more....3 TV's) for a lovely relaxing stay in Kalkan. The space is wonderful and the room sizes sizes make it feel more like a villa. The huge roof terrace with plunge pool is probably the star feature for us with amazing views and well equipped for dining and relaxing. The plunge pool isn't huge but perfect for cooling down...more
We really enjoyed our holiday at villa JoJo. We had a few issues with the air conditioning to start with. This was disappointing as we couldn't use one of the bedrooms for 2 nights, it was way too hot. The WiFi was also very hit and miss. The villa itself was absolutely beautiful, the pool was lovely and a really good size. The views from the villa were fabulous. It was a wonderful place to stay.
The villa is beautifully positioned.It has fantastic 180 degree views of the ocean and bay.It's proximity to the centre(restaurants,bars,beach and supermarkets)makes it very convenient.We walked(trekked)into town using the beach path(severe ups and downs)which took 20 minutes and took a taxi back(60TL)which took 4 minutes. We mixed our days with visits to the Beach Clubs(Zest,Kalkan Beach Park and Denizm),staying around the pool or trips to Patara Beach and Demre(well worth the 75km drive)
Lovely spacious villa suitable for a large family. Fully equipped kitchen if you wanted to cook meals at home. Plently of clean towels for the pool.
Location - v good; central to Kalkan but beware of steep incline. Need a vehicle for mobility impaired people. Amenities - Negative experience with external bedroom door which was kept unlocked due to a broken lock - took 3 days before someone came to to repair. Overall very clean, bright, great views and spacious.
We arrived late near midnight hungry yet tired The lady ( whose apartment it was ) greeted us and gave us some of her homemade soup and bread etc which was great considering you never met us . First impressions were great . The apartment was modern with a beautiful view of the sea . It’s location was perfect , we were only three minutes from all restaurants and port . Enjoyed the beach clubs and restaurants . Very commercial resort though and the Turkish restaurant owners were quite pushy to get us into their restaurants which was annoying to be honest . Other than that great value a...more
Excellent break in villa Lillian. The villa had gorgeous views, was extremely well equipped, well maintained and had excellent amenities. A 10 min taxi from town, made everything accessible.
Azure Heights was perfect for the 4 of us. Excellent facilities indoors and very clean but we spent most of our time outdoors which is where Azure Heights spoilt us with such a great outside area, fantastic pool and, of course, the amazing view.
We had a wonderful week at Queen Villa. We found the process of booking (and rebooking thanks to Covid!) with Olive Tree very smooth and responsive. The Villa was lovely for 4 of us, very spacious and a super (but deep) pool. It had lovely vistas but there was a large uphill walk to get to town so it wasn’t for the faint hearted in that heat! Mehmet came to clean the pool and answered any queries and we recommend a chat with Zal on arrival who gave us lots of top tips - thanks Zal. The Villa was well appointed, everything we needed, but would recommend asking for sheets on the bed - th...more
Had the most amazing stay in this exquisite villa. It is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable inside. The pool area and surrounding sun loungers etc is absolutely stunning offering great views and tranquility. We had one issue with the hot water system which was responded to immediately and dealt with which was great. Taxis are plentiful in and out of Kalkan. The air conditioning is also very good. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
We enjoyed a fabulous week in this beautiful villa. The location was brilliant being so close to town but still very quiet with no noise from the town at night. The outdoor area was very pretty with stunning views framed by bougainvillea and a pretty pool. We stayed as a couple and the villa was ideal for two of us but as only one of the four bedrooms enjoys the sea view I think it could have been very disappointing if you were going as a larger group and also the outdoor area would have been very tight for a larger group but perfect for couples or families with children who want location over...more
Stayed at Villa Badem for the 2nd time. Great location, good size pool, great air con, love the new sofa and the lights being installed above the mirrors in the bedrooms. Water cooler in kitchen was a wonderful additional too. Bathroom good size and strong flow compared to other places. Would defo stay again. -ve's - Wifi doesn't work on the roof top terrace even with booster, need a rattan comfy furniture on the rooftop to enjoy the view better.
We enjoyed our stay at elmas. Some minor niggles such as fridge freezer breaking down which could not be fixed for 2 days which did impact upon our holiday. We had to request a mid-stay clean for our 10 night stay which was finally done after 8 days. Otherwise this is an excellent apartment and takes about 10 minutes to walk into town but you do need to get a taxi back although these are very cheap. Maintained to a high standard and pool cleaned daily. Would recommend staying here.
10 of us with differing ages. First family holiday for a long time. Villa offered everything we needed. Lovely pool, lots of shade, lots of different areas to sit. Pool, table tennis, hot tub was very popular. Magnificent views. 20 min walk into town which was very doable. Very cheap taxi drive back. David was also incredibly helpful. Everyone said one of their best holidays ever.
Lovey clean villa with great views of the sea. Staff very helpful and easy to get hold of via WhatsApp. It’s a little bit out of the way if you want deliveries and taxis etc they tended to get lost trying to find us! It’s only a 15 min walk into town though. Wouldn’t recommend if you have very young children as there are lots of steps/ ledges in the garden, also inside there is a curved marble staircase. But the villa is perfect for adults / older kids
We had a wonderful stay Zeytin Kaya Villa this July. Kalkan itself was superb. A few wee niggles with the villa. Minor ones would be that the décor in the villa was sparse, this I'm assuming be due to it's newness. Large mirrors would be handy in the bedrooms. More British TV channels would also be nice. Halfway through week two we lost our wifi, I'm guessing due to a restriction on usage. When you have yourself and two teenagers on tow, unlimited wifi access is essential. For some (not us), it would be a pre-requisite to booking the villa. All in all though,a great trip.
Management were very quick to handle problems. Lovely pool. Lots of seating and plenty of space outside.
I have already submitted my feedback and review directly to Olive Travel. Great service and villa, cleanliness want as good as it could have been and the villa was a little tired in places. Other than that, it was a great holiday and I’d recommend the company (I have in fact) and would also re-book through them.
Lovely villa. Incredible view. Needs to be better checked before let. Cooker extractor Didn’t work wires hanging at the side. No lights directly outside new bulbs took 5 days to fit. Safe locked so not usable. We told the pool man not to hose the patio down as it flooded into the lounge. All simple things to fix but these should be sorted before the customer arrives not while we are trying to holiday. Seems that management companies are not proactive but only reactive and when your on holiday for a short time not having to contact them and waiting for stuff to be fixed would help.

It's a great place to be in Kalkan, easy walking distance to Kalamar Bay for a swim, the diving centre and some very good restaurants. The apartment itself is very comfortable. We're not big fans of the bathrooms; all wet rooms so we spent more time cleaning the floor than having a shower but it's no big problem. It would definitely benefit from having a dining table on the master bedroom patio (with some lights), so one can enjoy the magnificent view.
Although we are frequent visitors to Kalkan, this was our first visit to Kisla and to Villa Palmiye. Kisla is quieter than other areas of Kalkan and has the benefit of a couple of small convenience stores and restaurants as well as easy access to a couple of beach clubs. The sunsets are amazing and it's very easy to get into town - we didn't attempt the very steep hills as it was only 25 Turkish lira to get a cab for the 5 minute ride into town. The villa itself is lovely, very spacious and the outside area is particularly good with the added bonus of a table tennis table. There are plenty of ...more
Lovely villa, met all expectations. Would recommend. Host very helpful, cleaners and maintenance excellent.
The Villa location was good a little way from town but nice walk. The villa was clean tidy but certain things could do with some up dating. We had a couple of problems but all we sorted very quickly. Excellent villa for large party.
We rented two apartments, the ground floor and the roof terrace, this will cover both apartments. Firstly, these apartments are in an excellent position and have great potential but unfortunately they were a bit run down and we found the owners unwilling to help on some of these issues. The bathrooms needed a bit of updating, in one of the them the towel holder had been removed and just left with holes in the walls. There was no storage space in most of the bathrooms. There was also not enough plug sockets, the rep did provide us with extension leads - the owners refused to do this. One o...more
