Villa Vena Kalkan

We loved the sauna and jumping in the cold pool after. The view is beautiful overlooking the mountains and the quiet location is so peaceful, lots of wildlife can be seen and heard, it is a true Turkish village experience, the Locals would walk their goats and cows out to pasture in the morning and bring them back in the evening. The locals were very friendly, there are a couple of shops for Essentials and restaurants within walking distance although many were not open yet due to our early season visit. You definitely need a car! Kalkan town is a short drive away. There were taxi numbers on the fridge although we didn't use them. The Staff are very Friendly, attentive and helpful 24/7 👍 All in all it's a lovely Villa and I would recommend it. 90% good, an extra 10% attention to detail would make this Villa Excellent 👌

Unfortunately the Hammam is not fully functional with steam. (only hot & cold water) due to an electricity issue in the Village. Some of the facilities described we couldn't find (not that we needed them) eg. Cd player, Radio, trouser press. The Oven only has one shelf. and there were not enough cooking dishes. However it's a very good spec oven it can do everything. The ping pong table has a bent leg so it doesn't stand up properly. Same with the bird cage seat (I sat in it and it fell over 😂)

The villa is very spacious and has a nice indoor/outdoor living area. Unfortunately we were unable to use the pool as it was too cold but it looks lovely and also has a nice area for small kids to play in. The views of the mountains and sunset are amazing and the surroundings are calm and quiet. The owner always responded quickly and there was someone nearby the solve any issues quickly when needed.

We partly booked the villa because of the 3rd bedroom, but this bedroom is in the same area as the sauna and steam room with fold out beds, so it wasn't suitable for us to use which was a shame. There were some small issues due to electricity problems in the area which would have been nice to hear about before arriving (e.g. steam room not working).
