Amazing long-term stay
We are just back from a six-week stay at Villa Angel and still on a high :) The villa, its pool, and its surrounding garden were just perfect for the working vacation of our family of four: kids (6 yo and 11 yo) hung out safely in- and outdoors, while the parents held online meetings. The occasional dip in the pool made for unusual and memorable workdays. The pool has a great length for doing laps, the mature garden (full of fruit trees) is beautifully landscaped, and the surrounding mountain view is simply amazing. Occasionally, the nearby pomegranate fields were intentionally flooded (watered), bringing out frogs and storks. One of us swam-raced once with the resident frog. Ha-ha! Mosquitoes are an issue, so anti-bug sprays are needed at night. That or a dive in the beautifully-lit pool. Even though there are other houses in the vicinity of the villa, not a single house is seen from the garden. Privacy is important for us and we got it. At the same time, the property is tended to: the gardener and pool-maintenance guy came once every two days for about 1/2 hour in the mornings, while cleaning was done once weekly. The house itself is everything other reviewers have described: very well-appointed, with fresh, modern, and esthetically-pleasing décor. The kitchen has plenty of everything a homebody would need (pots/pans, good-quality knives, all sorts of gadgets), which made our long-term stay very comfortable: cookies and birthday cakes were baked, pizzas and lemonade were made, BBQ was grilled on the outdoor grill---total decadence. Last but not least, the owners Greg and Pete, were the most helpful and gracious hosts we could wish for: a message/phone call away, dealt with a couple of small issues in no time, and full of suggestions of what to do. Thank you, guys! We followed their advice for renting a private boat from Emrah and exploring nearby coves, including catching and roasting crabs. For beach-going, we recommend Turtle Beach (Iztuzu Plaji), which can be reached by boat (dolmus tekne) after a 1/2 boat ride through the estuary. The beach is beautiful, with white, soft sand, the sea is shallow for meters on end and slightly wavy on the days we went, which made it all lots of fun. Beach umbrellas and sunbeds can be rented for a very reasonable price. Oludeniz is also a nice place to visit, with a car, as it is a 1.5 hr-drive away. All in all, we are very happy with the whole experience we had and would love to be back soon.
