The villa is really great, in a quiet location, but super close to the village. Access to restaurants, bars and shops is easy with the really cost effective taxis that pop you in and out of the village in minutes. The villa manager Ali, could not have been more helpful, bringing fresh bread and a water pump pump every day, a lovely welcome pack on arrival and providing us with lots of information on the area, taxis etc. The villa is maintained really well, cleaned very regularly and bins emptied every day. The inside is well appointed, the beds are comfy, lots of towels and pool towels provided too. A very well appointed kitchen and large open plan living room is just lovely. A perfect location for a holiday in kalkan, quiet, clean with really pretty plants and bougainvillea everywhere. The villa next door has a balcony that overlooks this villas pool, which I feel would be better if there were plants across, just to screen the pool area a little. But certainly not off putting. We would highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

This villa more than lived up to our expectations and we are really fussy! Clean, comfortable, great location, lovely staff, Ali in particular. Fabulous garden with good quality furniture. Helpful and accommodating owners - we can’t wait to go back.

Absolutely amazing villa, the pictures don't lie. A real home from home. Regularly cleaned and regular visits from Ali to make sure everything was ok and to bring daily bread. 15 min walk into the centre of town - a bit hilly or take a taxi for £2 - plenty of numbers in the villa. Communication with Simon was very easy and helpful with prompt responses. Kalkan is a great town with narrow cobbled streets and plenty of good restaurants and bars. We would thoroughly recommend the villa and Kalkan and will revisit both.

What a superb villa! We've been holidaying in family villas, around the world, for over 20 years with our kids and this was up with one of the best we have stayed in. The communication with Daria was excellent as was the welcome from Seda and Ali when we arrived. The villa comes equipped with everything that one might need including a much appreciated welcome pack, kitchen essentials, beach and pool towels - even bug spray and candles for the garden - and Ali delivered fresh bread and the paper to us every morning. The interior of the villa is lovely and the outside areas are very attractive; plenty of different places to sit and lie, in or out of the sun, and the kids enjoyed the secret garden in the wall - including the fridge! The pool is the perfect size for messing around or relaxing on a lilo, and we used the BBQ twice as the quality of the meat from the Carrefour was very good. And....you get to enjoy the most beautiful sea views from every room, from the moment you wake-up to the end of the day, relaxing with a beer as the sun slips down behind the mountains whilst the boats return into Kalkan bay. It really is fabulous. This was our first visit to Kalkan and we will definitely return; the villa is a comfortable 12 minute stroll into town - a little uphill for the first few minutes then a straight, flat walk, until you descend again into the delightful cobbled streets filled with restaurants, shops, watch and leather stores and several bars. There are no night-clubs just 2 late night bars and the locals are so warm, hardworking and friendly. We thought that the restaurants we chose were, without fault, excellent and we loved eating up on the roof terraces. A trip to Kas along the coast road is to be recommended for a night out, as are the local beaches. Xanthos is interesting and ideal to visit on your way to Saklikent Gorge - which provides a great afternoon of entertainment. The beach club, just a few minutes from the villa, is perfect for diving, swimming and snorkelling and is also a great place for an easy, early supper overlooking the bay. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Magic Garden Villa and Kalkan - it's close enough to enjoy listening to the sound of the call to prayers five times a day, and yet far enough away to feel private and peaceful. Thank you Simon for letting us enjoy your lovely home from home.
