“Fantastic house in a fantastic location“
“We had a fantastic two weeks at the villa. The most striking thing about the property is the amazing view, but this is complemented by extremely luxurious accommodation and incredible outdoor space… A stay here is highly recommended.”
David C, stayed 2022
“Exceptional”
“We have just had a week stay at this exceptional villa. It was everything we could have wished for, well equipped and very spacious. Yousef took great care of us bringing fresh bread every day and keeping the villa pool clean for us to use every day. Baharat restaurant was our favourite with their Chateaubriand exceptional. Kalkan has definitely stolen our hearts and we will definitely be back.”

“Heavenly”
“Just had the most wonderful 2 weeks at Villa Yazlik. We are regular visitors to Kalkan, and this has been one of our favourite villas. The layout is spacious, the outdoor area is huge with a fabulous infinity pool. The views are spectacular… There were 9 of us staying from 12-50 year old. Something for everyone – and space to take yourself off for some peace!”

“Amazing!”
“We have just returned from a fantastic week at Villa Yazlik. We were 4 couples and a baby and the villa suited us all perfectly from its luxurious sun beds to the cosy chill out area and stunning pools. Villa Yazlik sits high up from the bay with views that simply take your breath away over Kalkan bay and harbour. The villa is very well equipped for lovely nights in or just a short taxi ride (20TL) to the port where there are ample restaurants and bars to suit everyone! One of our favourite nights was when Yusuf and his wife (who manage the villa) came and cooked for us all…”

“Beautiful house and excellent owner”
“This is a wonderful place with stunning views situated just a few minutes (with car, or 15 min walk) from the village of Kalkan. This region is a very beautiful part of Turkey. The outdoor area is perfect with plenty of sun loungers and sun umbrellas and there are lots of spots where you can get away from the sun if you so wish. We were a party of nine that rented the villa and there was plenty of room for all of us… Don’t hesitate to rent this place. The owner Jenny is quick to answer if you have questions and also Yusuf that tends to the house and the pool is likewise a gem if you have questions or need help with anything on site.”

“Absolutely fabulous! Our second year here”

“The best villa in Kalkan”
“The location is amazing with breathtaking views over the whole of Kalkan. We have visited Kalkan many times but this has to be the best villa we have stayed in. The villa has everything you could wish for and those little extras like an outside Jacuzzi, steam and sauna rooms and additional shallow pool (ideal for those lazy afternoons on the lilo) that made for a truly magical and unique experience. Can’t wait to visit again.”
Dave C, stayed 2017
“Perfect in every way”
“Villa Yazlik is perfect in every way – the view from the pool, lounge and bedrooms takes your breath away. This is our third visit to Kalkan but the first time we have not wanted to leave the villa.”
Tania R, stayed 2017
“Spectacular”
“What a spectacular villa in a very special setting! This lovely property sits at the top of Kalkan, overlooking the beautiful turquoise water of the Mediteranean. It is well appointed, immaculate, spacious and beautiful, and such a lovely place to come ‘home’ to after a day of hiking or sightseeing. Caretaker Yusuf and his wife prepared a magnificent BBQ feast for us one night, so good we asked him to do so again for our final night.”
Maggie, stayed 2016
“Beautiful Breathtaking Villa!”
“It was amazing to arrive at Villa Yazlik and find it was even better than the descriptions and photos on the site. The views from all parts of the villa are fabulous especially from the main living area which has huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows along its whole length. The property well lives up to its description as regards location, facilities etc and we were very well looked after by the locally based manager and his wife. The villa is extremely clean and well maintained. Above all though we enjoyed the feeling of complete relaxation in such a bright, airy, comfortable property with loads of space, fantastic views and plenty of amenities… It was a fabulous holiday I cannot recommend this villa highly enough. We made the best choice ever!”

“Villa Yazlik Kalkan”
“An amazing villa truly 5 star. We have just returned from an amazing holiday in Kalkan. Villa Yazlik exceeded our expectations and that doesn’t happen very often. The villa is modern, spacious and comfortable with the most amazing views over Kalkan Bay. The outdoor spaces are large and work very well. The jacuzzi flowing into the large infinity pool which then flows into a shallow pool – perfect for when it gets too hot or for smaller children. The bedrooms all have fantastic views, terraces and are extremely spacious with walk in wardrobes and modern bathrooms… Kalkan itself is a beautiful little town and everybody we encountered from taxi drivers, shop keepers, green grocers and fish mongers are so polite, helpful and thoughtful…”

“What a beautiful villa”
“The Villa more than lived up to our expectations, it is spacious and comfortable and the views are spectacular. We all had a wonderful holiday, (my 10 year old grandson had a tear as we were leaving). Yusuf and his wife cooked us a humungous barbeque starting with mezzes, followed by fish, chicken, meatballs, steak and chips and then when we all thought we were fit to burst we were served with some delicious baklavas. We visited Saklikent gorge, Kaptas and Patara beaches and of course the market to buy our fake handbags and polo shirts. We hired a boat trip twice and enjoyed swimming in some lovely bays. It was our first visit to Kakan and we look forward to going back.”

“Villa Yazlik”
“The Villa Yazlik is a little gem in Kalkan located on the hillside of the Taurus Mountains, with its spectacular views Kalkan is the St Tropez of Turkey. The villa is beautifully furnished to a high standard, and with its many balconies and windows the views are simply amazing!! Every window is a picture of stunning views, the infinity pool overlooks the town and bay, simply perfect for relaxing in the sun! The shops and restaurants are plentiful and with the overwhelming hospitality of the people of Kalkan it really made our holiday such a great holiday and we didn’t want to come home thank you Jenny.”

“We absolutely loved our stay in Kalkan and your villa was superb. I had kept the details a secret from my husband and when we arrived he thought we were walking onto a film set!”
Emma L, stayed 2012
“We had an absolutely fabulous time and we will be booking for next year. The villa is amazing. We go away in England every year with friends (8+ in total) and rent some new and very luxurious houses but we can always find things that in our eyes could have been improved. We could not find a single thing to criticise in your villa. The layout works brilliantly and the view is simply stunning.”
Gail G, stayed 2012
“What. A. Villa. So, so jealous. Many thanks for allowing us use of your amazing home – the family loved it! The views were truly inspiring and we were quite happy to sit around eating, drinking, swimming and taking in the superb scenes… Kalkan was peaceful and we felt relaxed and safe walking around as a family, but at the same time it had great activities and day trips, and we would have gone for more day trips had it not been for your wonderful and most splendid villa!”
Rizwan and Rachel K, stayed 2011
“Villa Yazlik knocked our socks off, it really is beautiful and so well appointed. We’ve been to plenty where there’s a lack of sun beds etc! The couple who run things there for you were great and kept everything outside clean and tidy for us. We loved Kalkan and spent many hours at the Kalamar beach club… the kids loved the trampoline there. We also sampled plenty of the restaurants and even a few bars and it is a safe enough place to let the kids stay in town at night on their own.”
John L, stayed 2011
“The pictures don’t do it justice! It’s a fabulous villa. We all had the best holiday we’ve ever had. Define Tours were excellent on the transfers and they arranged a private boat charter which was the highlight of the trip… I went scuba diving… Everyone enjoyed the Kalamar beach club. Lunch was excellent. Patara beach was so good we went back twice. Only problem was not having enough time to fit in the gorge, a mud bath, Kaputas beach and Kekova but maybe next year. We all want to go back.”
