Fantastic villa in a great location in Kalkan. The hill to the villa from the town is steep and last bit to the villa is very steep, but the taxis are very cheap and frequent if you are not up for the hike.
Really lovely new villa (build 2018), spacious 2 bedrooms with indoor pool in one and jacuzzi in the other... crazy really! But to be honest the outdoor pool & the view did it for us. It was absolutely breath taking. We stayed at villa Akruins for 10 days & every day we were overwhelmed by the view. Morning, day & night. Just beautiful. The villa has good WiFi & well needed air conditioning. It is located 5 mins drive from the town, right at the top of the hill. We hired a car but used taxis every nights. At 25TL the journey it’s was very affordable. Kalkan is an amazing place. Fabulous restaurants & lots of quality fake designer shops if it’s your thing... we would recommend this villa and hope to go back too. The owner Abdullah was very friendly. We had an amazing holiday with our 2 teenagers kids. So glad we found villa Akruins.
Our flight was delayed, we didn't arrive at the villa until 5am, Ugur had filled the fridge with milk, eggs etc. & fresh bread so we had something for breakfast in the morning. This was a very welcoming gesture & much appreciated after a very long journey.
From the moment we arrived the villa was perfect. Everything and more you could need for a family holiday. Mustafa was brilliant with communication before the holiday and during our stay. The villa was lovely, spacious and plenty of room for our 5 children to play. They loved the pool and the games room. Town is only a short work down a hill and we got a taxi back for less than 10 lira (about £2). We will definately be back hopefully next year. It really is so relaxing and perfect. Ive stayed in a lot of villas and this tops them all by far. Thanks Mustafa.
Gorgeous villa with large pool area with stunning views,one of the most amazing and luxurious villa we've stayed in.Modern and spacious with everything you need.Future guests will NOT be disappointed!!!!
Absolut empfehlenswert!!! Die Villa hat alles was man braucht und noch viel mehr. Die Lage und demzufolge die Aussicht ist super. Der Pool ist für die maximale Anzahl der Gäste ausreichend groß. Dieser wird jeden Morgen und Abend gewartet bzw. durchgecheckt. Alle Zimmer sind gut klimatisiert. Der eine oder andere zweite Fernseher wäre nicht verkehrt, aber wer schaut schon Fern in den Ferien ;) Kalkan selbst bietet alles was man braucht auf einer Straße 'Şehitler Caddesi' - dort ist auch die Baransel Vertretung der Villa zu finden. Unterhalb des Drehkreuzes der Stadt bis zum Ufer findet man die typischen Touristenlokalitäten von Bars und Restaurants bis hin zu diversen Einzelhändlern.
Spectacular views from a wonderful villa that has all any family would want. Walk into town only 10-15 mins downhill and cheap taxi ride back. Villa is well equipped and very modern with space for 2 families sharing and great views from all rooms. The highlight however is the infinity pool and the fabulous view of the town, harbour and bay from sitting in the jacuzzi to perching at the end and basking in the sun. Mustafa provided great help before and during visit and kids love the excellent games facilities and wifi. Would highly recommend as great villa in a wonderful resort and with friendly and helpful management. We all loved it.
Beautiful view outside the 2 bedrooms upstairs. And a even better view from the infinity pool. With right angles, some jaw dropping photos can be clicked! Modern interior with a games room (the air hockey table was not functioning but the pool table was great), not to mention the classy lounge which opens up to the infinity pool. The pool area has a sofa seating area on one side overlooking the town below, with a BBQ. The other side, you will find a table with chairs with a nice swing (not the cheap kiddie ones) which overlook the sea and the Islands. The sun sets beautifully behind the mountins which is clearly visible from the pool and bedroom balconys. Nice of the company to set up the villa with some bread and eggs which allowed us to find our feet after a needed first night sleep. (We landed 9pm). The villa is located 15mins walk from the town and is situated in the hills. We decided to hire a 7 seater Dacia which was able to climb the steep hills and made the transport to and from the town centre sweat free!. Airport transfers and car rental cost weighed up the same so it made sense to rent a car for the whole stay rather than wave down taxis! This also worked in our favour when we decided to visit nearby beaches. Easy to navigate roads. The best beach (Kaptus Beach) is a short 10mins drive from the villa. In comparison to the other beaches, which charge an entry fee, are further, and definitely not as beautiful. Only down side? its a pebble beach. A truely memorable stay which didn’t break the bank! This particular town is however more expensive but more chilled compared to Antalya and other cities. The people are calm and don’t bother you to visit their shops. Would love to return for another nice chilled holiday.
Fabulous holiday in this villa. Only 2 of us but it gave us the space and freedom to be just us. Beautiful views all round making you feel on top of the world. Very clean and modern with everything you require to enjoy the time you stay there. Thank you to Mustafa for his excellent attentive customer service and the welcome pack very much appreciated.
Everything was just wonderful in this house. It is very spacious and well equipped. Specially in the kitchen, you will not miss anything and there were even eggs, bread, water, coffee and some others things for the first day provided. The house is very spacious, but we were only 4 adults and one child, so there was much room for everybody. The big and marvellous pool is clean because of the daily service in the morning. We were not so lucky with the weather, nearly every day a bit of rain. Due to the weather the water in the pool was not too warm, but still okay. The mangement was friendly and helpful and always concerned if we need anything. Harika :-) Someday we will be back for sure
Open plan feel to living area with lounge, kitchen and dining space. Upstairs three ensuite bedrooms. Downstairs two further ensuite bedrooms plus an open space with pool table and air hockey table. There were only four of us so we only used the three upstairs rooms. Three year old villa very well maintained, showing very little signs of wear. This is a rental villa with little in the way of personal items. Blinds on windows don’t stop the light so expect to wake early. Very few clothes hangers and wash pegs. Cleaning was thorough prior to our arrival and also half way through our stay (arranged on a day to suit us). Air conditioning worked very well. Certainly plenty of space and privacy for another family downstairs (or a larger group). Villa has four double beds and one twin bedroom (on the lower floor). Outside space; pool is fantastic and kept impeccably clean. Plenty shade by three parasols. Ten sun loungers. Dining table, corner sofa and swing chair. Kitchen was well appointed, there was a basic welcome pack (water, juice, bread, eggs) which was a nice touch for our first day. Villa is over the main road up the hill. We walked down into the town but took taxi
From the initial booking, arranging airport transfers, arranging cleaning and being available to assist whenever needed, Mustafa was there to help. Mustafa ensured everything ran smoothly and we had no need to worry about anything - he was a message away and responded promptly. We arrived on a late flight from the UK and the transport was waiting for us at Dalaman Airport. A party of 8 adults we already knew that there was a long journey to Kalkan but the driver stopped at a small shop and bought water and chocolate for all of us. On the approach into Kalkan, the driver slowed right down to ensure we all got to enjoy the view from the main road into town. We arrived at the Villa and even though it was late, we could not resist the temptation of a warm evening and the infinity pool. Lovely touch, there was a welcome pack which consisted of bread, butter, milk, coffee,juice and eggs so once we were all up the next morning no-one was left hungry or thirsty. The villa itself is luxurious and very spacious. The place is maintained by the caretaker who comes to the property 6 days a week and looks after the pool, keeps the outside area clean and will always advise if he is not going to be there. We arranged for the mid stay clean to happen on the Saturday at 10am and sure enough, 2 people arrived and worked through the Villa without any intrusion. There is plenty to keep people busy, there is a large flat screen tv with satellite, downstairs there is a pool table and air hockey indoors and table tennis on the pool deck and of course there is the infinity pool where we spent a large proportion of our time. There are sufficient sunbeds and umbrellas and no-one suffered from sunburn (the temperature was in the low 30's for most of the holiday). We made the villa our home for the duration of the holiday, as largish party, we moved the garden furniture about to make one large outdoor dining space. There is a barbeque and we had some spectacular meat from the local shops. In fact the local produce is fresh and tasty. The Villa is not well known with the local taxi drivers so we had fun trying to work our way back from the town but due to the "hilly"nature of Kalkan, taxis were required to help bring back the shopping. 15 Turkish lira - bargain! We ate out frequently and wherever we ate, the service was friendly, the food well cooked and very reasonably priced. As mentioned, we were a party of 8 and never had a problem finding somewhere to eat even during Eid. A must is a boat trip from the harbour. We hired a boat for the day and had the most amazing experience. The boat was crewed by a lovely local couple who took us out amongst the flotilla of other boats leaving the harbour daily. We went to coves where we could swim from the boat and enjoy some very special moments - swimming with a turtle was a highlight for those fast enough to keep up. The food was freshly prepared and there was no fear of going hungry as we had a main lunch, fruit and then tea; coffee and cake. . Having been to Kalkan in the past, we decided on this occasion that we were having a chilled holiday so we did not venture away from the villa but there are plenty of activities locally which are a must for those visitors who are looking to go to see local antiquities, the sea or the local gorge. Due to work commitments, our party shrank in size over the first 10 days and Mustafa arranged transfers for all 3 return trips to Dalaman airport. The drivers arrived promptly at the designated time and we were given an executive car on each trip - much better value than the service we had in the UK!! So would we go back to Kalkan - yes So would we return to Villa Ahiska - most certainly if we were travelling again as a group of +8. Would we look to source a different size villa through Mustafa (Baransel Group) if the numbers were smaller - most certainly. As a family, this is the first time in 8 years where we have all managed to go away together and we are already looking to arrange another family holiday back to Kalkan.
