Cannot say enough good about this villa. It is in a perfect location, a short, flat walk into town, either via the main road or the shady river path.
It is on a very quiet residential street, with a beautiful outlook to the mountains. The gardens are beautiful, and the pool is fabulous and spotlessly maintained by an unobtrusive pool man every morning, with plenty of space for the sun lover (him) and nice shady spots (me). Inside the villa is a perfect home from home, with everything you could possibly need, again, spotlessly clean and well looked after. The basement stays lovely and cool, to the point that we didn't even need the air conditioning at night (although it was very good and super useful in the other rooms).
Richard was very helpful prior to booking and gave us great information about the villa and the area. We were able to see wild turtles in the river, the beach is beautiful (and a simple journey by boat or bus, or 15 mins in the car, with plentiful and cheap parking) and kept very natural. Dalyan has many bars and restaurants to choose from, all that we tried were of good quality and produced lovely homecooked food, without being at all rowdy or overly crowded.
In summary, a lovely holiday in a wonderful villa. Can't wait to go back.
