This was our second consecutive year, holidaying at Villa Bahce, and it remains enchanting. The location is idyllic, despite the steep climb, with stunning sea views from the rooftop terrace. And the gardened outdoor space, featuring a generously sized swimming pool, was perfect for our party of six adults. This year, the villa's charm has been elevated even further, thanks to extensive renovations undertaken by Sarah, the new owner. The revamped downstairs area is now spacious and inviting, and the upgraded kitchen with modern appliances and a stylish breakfast bar made it a great gathering spot. Each of the three bedrooms now has a new ensuite bathroom, adding to our comfort. Last but certainly not least, Sarah, the new owner and host, was fantastic! She kept us fully updated on the renovations, arranged the airport transfers, and ensured everything was perfect during our stay. An exceptional host! We can't wait to return next year!

We stayed in the stunning, Villa Bahce in August 2024, this was our 7th time visiting! This was our 1st time staying under new ownership and the improvements made were fantastic! Sarah, the owner has always been very responsive to our questions and it is obvious that she is very passionate about her guests having the best holiday possible. This is also the case with the people who manage the villa for her, Sharon & Rami. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them and the fact that they both speak very good English is a massive bonus! (Sharon is from the U.K.) We had a medical issue while we were away and Sharon kindly arranged for us to see a doctor and even came into the room to translate. We can't believe how amazing the villa transformation is, and how much we enjoyed our stay here. We loved relaxing around the pool each day with some tunes on, keeping cool in the welcoming pool, it’s bliss! The outdoor area looks so pretty with everything now cut back. It was so lovely to return to Villa Bahce! We felt very lucky to visit and were blown away by the improvements that have been made to the kitchen and bedrooms. The beds are so comfortable with plenty of pillows available to suit every guest. We have had a fabulous holiday and were sad it came to an end. Thank you for letting us make more memories in your beautiful villa! I think I have attachment issues now!!! 😆 x Beverly & Family, August 2024

As long term previous guests of the previous owner (17 years) it is often a tricky transition as one naturally compares every aspect. Which is not always fair. In addition, forming a new ‘business relationship’ takes time, flexibility & patience from both sides. Putting that to one side, we are very happy to give the new owner a 5 star rating for the villa overall. Sarah was good with her timely replies too. The villa has been refurbished to a high standard & the few items that have been retained/recycled look good in their new surroundings. It’s evident a lot of time, planning, & money has been spent on the villa & furnishings. It is very tastefully decorated in our opinions. For us personally the bedrooms & en-suites looked & worked fabulously for our needs. It is a beautiful home for Sarah. A powerful shower with separate hand attachment made showering a dream. Washing long hair was made so much easier. We used only our ensuite & bedroom (there are x 3 & all were beautiful) along with the living space. For the first time in many years we stayed in over a few nights. The villa proved to be very comfortable. (Being able to use our Netflix account was an added bonus!) The large fridge/freezer proved perfect space wise. The new washing machine - only taking 12 mins for a quick wash cycle was ideal & for any items you need to wear more than once when away. In addition to these, all the appliances were brand new (dishwasher, microwave & large oven) although we didn’t need to use any of these ourselves. We had a couple of reasons to contact the maintenance team, & a couple we sorted out for ourselves - but this is not a poor reflection on Sarah as to how we felt re that aspect (it was their responsibility to communicate better with guests than they did). Sarah was contactable had we felt we needed to. The pool was kept beautifully clean by the pool chap who was quiet as a mouse 🙂 Kalkan is fortunate to have your beautiful ‘new home’ available for guests to enjoy & all that it has to offer! We’d love to return, as you know.
