I had the pleasure of staying at Villa Aysu with my 3 kids (aged 11, 10 and 7 years old), my sister, her hubby and little boy (16 months old), my brother and his wife, AND my parents. We arrived for half term from Saturday 27th October in the early hours around 4am. Our transfer from the airport had been booked in advance, and it was an hour and a half drive to the Villa, arrived tired out but eager to see what Villa Aysu had in store for us.
We weren't disappointed! Absolutely gorgeous place, it's huge, spacious, light filled and very airy. kitchen is grand, great size for our gang, open plan was very comfy and luxurious! We were impressed with the surroundings, the cleanliness, the quality of the appliances, the size of the fridge, the dishwhasher..everything was to satisfaction and beyond! & CLEAN!
The patio doors opened at 3 points onto the swimming pool/seating/bbq area, which overlooked the most breathtaking and awesome views I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing! Truly it was a feast for the eyes!! Upon arrival I spent a couple of hours on the roof terrace waching the sunrise and the arrival of dawn. Unforgettable!!
mornings spent on the terrraces, or sun loungers, sipping tea and having breakfast. Milk bread and basic sundries we had arranged for daily delivery of, for which we settled the bill at the end of the week. cleaners arrived every morning to remove rubbish, clean the pool, sweep and tidy up the property. Friendly & polite.
The kids had a great time in the private pool, secluded from surrounding areas, never felt intrusive or intruded upon, the area was quiet and peaceful and felt as if we were miles away from anywhere, but the local shops and restaurants were within walking distance or a cab. We went to Patara beach and loved it! Did the Thursday market for souvenirs! Had a bbq poolside. Ate @Cafe Vita, ordered in from there too! Mustafa was so friendly!
There is so much to say about Villa Aysu & Kalkan I could spend hours telling you but suffice to say, it was the best home from home holiday I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Enough space for all 11 of us! The owners have thought of everything for their visitors, things such as sun hats and beach bags, flip flops even!! There is plenty to do in Kalkan, or you can just choose to sit poolside, sipping drinks and relaxing and taking in the glorious 360degree views!! I can honestly say I had the time of my life and I am planning my next trip already!
thanks guys!
