We have just returned from a 2 week holiday in the lovely Villa Sanann in Kalkan. Situated on the hillside it offered lovely views of Kalkan from the roof terrace and the generous first floor balcony. We were a bit worried about the pool being overlooked because the photographs on the HomeAway website do not show the outlook across the pool. We needn't have worried! While there are villas all around you, you have a great degree of privacy. The villa next door lay empty the whole time we were there and although all the other villas around us were rented out, their position on a hill and outlook means that no one will overlook you while you're swimming or sunbathing.
The kitchen was well quipped with a dishwasher, cooker, microwave, and fridge freezer. The 3 bathrooms were modern, sleek and clean - two of them could be described as wet rooms and the third as a small en-suite toilet and sink. We found the facilities more than adequate! In fact, the photographs on the website don't do the property justice! In particular, the first floor bedrooms, which are roomy and airy. The master bedroom is a delight. The beds are extremely comfy and we would have slept like kings if it hadn't been so hot. There is aircon but we have a few asthma sufferers in the family, so tend to avoid it during nighttime. Obviously, that was our choice because we could have turned the aircon on! Instead we opened the balcony doors (2 in the master) and the windows to take advantage of the lovely mountain breeze which you get most days.
The villa is situated up a hill but we found this to be an advantage: the temperature is more pleasant than further down the hill in Kalkan (the children often commented on the difference when we'd walk into town of an evening for our meal). Taxis cost about £2.50 from the old town or harbour to the villa and we generally just caught one on the way home (laden with bags of shopping, a pram and 6 of us - £2.50 seemed a very good deal!). The walk into Kalkan down a hill, across a footbridge with breathtaking views, past a mosque - is lovely. Within 5-6 minutes walk you reach a main road into Kalkan, where you find supermarkets, shops, restaurants and even a playground!
Sandra was lovely and very helpful before our trip, answering countless emails patiently and offering help and reassurance about any worries.
Looking up into the velvet night sky from the roof terrace with my family was one of my highlights. Highly recommended
