Sublime stay in Kalkan

If you are contemplating a holiday in Kalkan and Villa Amycha is available then seriously do not hesitate to book this incredible villa. Heavenly views across the bay, perfectly located above Kalkan accessible by either a downhill stroll or short taxi ride (taxis are plentiful and good value). Every detail has been considered to make the villa the perfect spot to luxuriate by the pool, drink cocktails at your very own outdoor bar or slumber in the comfortably appointed bedrooms. Joanna the owner together with her local team will see that everything you need for your holiday is taken care of. Villa Amycha sets a very high bar for future holidays, it may just be the case we have to return again to avoid any risk of disappointment.

Wonderful!

Absolutely stunning villa, which was everything we had hoped for and more. We completely fell in love with Villa Amycha and Kalkan and hope to return again. The view is nothing short of breathtaking and possibly unbeatable? What made this villa even better were the small touches that make all the difference, being met on arrival at the villa by Kadir, the daily housekeeping by the lovely Ayfer, daily bread delivery, constant supply of drinking water in the cooler, bathroom amenities, constant supply of toilet roll, kitchen roll, washing up liquid, this is way above and beyond what you would usually get in a villa, and was very much appreciated. All the suggestions that Joanna made were fantastic, we used Ayhan for taxi trips, had Kalkan Catering cook for us, Bucket came to do massages, went to Arcadia for a Turkish Bath, went to Zest beach club, and the highlight of all the trip was a private boat trip with Captain Abdi and his wonderful wife on Pina X, we loved it so much we went twice! The pool has been remodelled recently adding a lovely ledge to lounge on and some steps and completely re-tiled. Thank you so much Joanna for all your patience and help, Villa Amycha and Kalkan is something very special.

Wonderful accommodation and service

Delightful stay, from start to finish. The support, help and advice we received from Joanna was excellent, we had everything we could wish for. The villa was very close to Kalkan, an easy walk down in the evening, taxi back! However it was totally peaceful and relaxing around the pool with gorgeous views. We came home completely relaxed after our wonderful stay.

Fabulous Villa with dream views

The villa was everything it said it would be, it was so lovely having our breakfast made for us and the fresh bread they took in every morning was great for lunch, after breakfast the villa was then cleaned and beds made, what a treat. The Pool area was immaculate with the best sun loungers perfect for that late afternoon snooze or sun downer drinks at the bar. The view from the villa was magnificent, it took your breath away.

Back again!....just don't tire of the view

So nice to be back again after the pandemic. It was just as we remembered and we were able to share it with more friends - they loved it as much as we do. Amycha was as comfortable and spacious as always; our home from home. Kalkan Town itself was much busier (and noisier!); everyone keen to get away after the last couple of years? New restaurants and bars but still some old favourites. All in all a great couple of weeks. Booking and communications with the owner, Joanna, were smooth as always and she booked our transfers and boat trips in advance which made everything run smoothly. Next year??....

Perfect honeymoon

From the moment we contacted Joanna, we knew we’d made the right choice. Joanna was always very quick to respond to our queries, provided us with lots of suggestions and even assisted us with booking a private boat trip and Chef Kazim who cooked us a delicious 3 course meal (which was the best meal we had whilst in Istanbul and Kalkan). The villa itself was cleaned throughly every day and the daily fresh bread was very handy. We arrived to a congratulations cake and bottle of fizz which was so thoughtful. The view from the pool and the bedrooms was amazing, such beautiful sunsets. Ayan the taxi driver recommended by Joanna was always there for us when we needed him. Would highly recommend staying at Villa Amycha!

Stunning location, great family villa

This is the second time we have stayed at Villa Amycha. Its situation and view are absolutely breathtaking, and every morning when you open the blinds you are just blown away with the view. It is a fairly uninteresting and very steep walk down into the village but taxis are easy, plentiful and very cheap. We had forgotten that the transfer is 90 minutes which I have to admit is not ideal after a long flight. The villa has many amenities, including the comfiest sun loungers ever, and a comprehensive guide to the local area, restaurants etc. It is very well kitted out and extremely spacious. We did have a few maintenance issues while we were there but in the main these were quickly resolved. Kadir and Ayfir are very obliging but do not speak much English. There is another person, Tarik, who speaks good English and you can contact on WhatsApp with any issue which is most reassuring. Highly recommend this beautiful villa.

The maid made the stay amazing. Great villa and soooo relaxing. Will definitely return

The villa has stunning views and was great but what made it was the home help. Sunbeds we’re made every morning and fresh bread left out. Then the maid would make breakfast and clean all rooms daily. Really made the stay relaxing. 2 mins i a taxi for £2.50 to all main restaurants and port i. Kalkan. Def one of the best villas we’ve stayed at.

Don’t hesitate to book this villa!

Had the most amazing time staying at Villa Amycha. Joanna has anticipated your every need and was a great help and support at booking airport transfers, boat trips etc. The villa is incredibly well-equipped and has lots of storage and well-lit dressing tables in each bedroom (a must for me!). I think the sun loungers (adjusted by a handle on the side) are the most comfortable we have ever used, and this is the first holiday that I’ve not suffered from a sore back after a few days of lazing around. I cannot begin to stress the effect the view from the villa had on us. It is simply breathtaking and we could while away hours just gazing out from our room or from the terrace, or indeed the infinity pool. Sundowners on the terrace were so enjoyable, watching as the sky changed colour. The villa is supported by a lovely husband and wife team who cannot do enough for you. The fresh daily bread smells wonderful! We ran out of gas one day and the new canister was delivered and installed within 10 minutes! I would have preferred that the towels were changed every couple of days (especially the hand towels) but I am nitpicking as it was very easy to pop them in the washing machine ourselves, and of course they dried within hours. The villa is set on a vertiginous hill and we did walk down into the town a couple of times, but mainly we used Ian, the local friendly taxi driver who speaks good English and is very reliable. Taxi journeys are £2.50 each way and Ian will also come down to the harbour to pick you up (recommended as town is hilly). Kalkan itself is beautiful and charming. We did visit at the end of the season and I’m not sure the ambience would be quite as good if it were very hot and busy. However, the restaurants are fantastic, great range of food of the best quality. The people of Kalkan could not be friendlier or more helpful. The shop owners have clearly decided not to use a hard sell method which means that browsing is very relaxing and pleasant. There are some lovely shops, and not a chain or fast food place in sight. I have to say that this was one of the best family holidays (two grown up children) we have ever had, even despite having to quarantine on our return. The privacy and seclusion offered by the villa made for such a relaxing stay and this, combined with the 5 star service from Joanna and her team, have completely changed my mind about “fancier” hotel stays and we simply cannot wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Joanna Robertson

Grew up in Maidenhead in Berkshire, went to Leeds University and have now lived in Aberdeen Scotland for 27 years. Have 4 children - 2 grown up daughters and 2 much younger sons in their last year of primary school.

Why they chose this property

I'd never been to Turkey before 2013, but was wanting to buy a holiday home in a beautiful location that wasn't over developed and was easily accessible from the UK so started doing online research. Turkey was not my destination of choice until i read about Kalkan; there were loads of articles in praise of the place all noting that it was more sophisticated than other Turkish "resorts" and that it was the type of place that people who loved Tuscany would enjoy.
I decided we had to visit for ourselves and in February 2013 we headed over to Dalaman. The estate agent showing us around told us he thought we should see other areas as well to get a fuller appreciation of what was on offer as well as Kalkan, so he took us to Fethiye, Çalis Beach, Overçik - none of which "did it" for us at all and we were convinced we were not going to buy in Turkey. And then we rounded the mountain and looked down on Kalkan Bay........ and instantly fell for that view! Kalkan's quaint charms and the quality of the villas themselves were wonderful and we knew if we liked it so much in February then it could only get better during the warmer months! We concluded the purchase of our lovely Villa JaySea in May 2013 and have never looked back, we love it - but it's been so popular we decided to get another villa and so became the very proud owners of the even more gorgeous Villa Amycha in May 2015 . We absolutely love its cool crisp style, it's easy layout, the incredible views, and the huge terrace and infinity pool.

What makes this property unique

Villa Amycha sits on a 700m plot so the terrace is huge which was a big attraction.

It already had the amazing 50m infinity pool with sunbathing areas on 3 sides but we knew that there was also plenty of space to install a large marble bar for entertaining.... which now looks fab.

We also added pool heating (don't know how anyone can enjoy using an unheated pool, particularly in low and mid seasons but we also heat it in high season - just makes the place so much more inviting!) The views from the terrace are incredible but these views are also viewed from every room in the villa with the exception of the single room (which has mountain views)

We love to really relax on holiday and though the privacy of a private villa suits our requirements we do like the luxury of hotel type offerings: someone else making the beds, cleaning the bathrooms, preparing breakfast and clearing it away and we also like to know that we don't have to carry over hairdryers or bathroom amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, hand cream etc so we decided that all these things would be included for our guests too.
