Love Notes
Testimonials
We recently stayed at Waters Edge 2 for a week, and couldn’t have been happier with the villa. The views and private sea platforms set it above anywhere else we have stayed, together with the spacious outside terrace, balcony and pool, which were perfect for relaxing. It’s quietly located amongst a few other properties, but is close to the old town, which is a few minutes away by taxi. I’d recommend the water sports at Aristos across the bay – if you book an activity, they come in their water taxi to collect you from the beach platform free of charge.
What an amazing location. Julie has been fantastic from start to finish.
I can’t recommnd enough Elegant Retreats! book asap if you can !! you won’t regret it !
A huge thank you to Julie Armstrong @ Elegant Retreats our family (10 of us) have had the most amazing holiday! Julie’s organisation was seamless and the thoughtful touches of having meze and shopping in the villa when we arrived were perfect. The recommendations of restaurants and excursions topped it all off. All round fabulous 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Villa Likya was a well equipped and cared for villa with ample space for 10 adults. Its location was wonderful only being a 10min walk from the old town for restaurants and shops.
The lush garden provided relaxing seating areas for both those seeking shade and the sun lovers . The pool was a great size for a refreshing dip and the roof top terrace gave a wonderful place for an evening drink.
All round beautiful villa that I would totally recommend to family and friends
Thank you, Elegant Retreats and Julie, for organizing our most memorable New Year celebration at Villa Nobles Rox in Kalkan! Everything ran smoothly and was well-managed; we felt your care throughout the entire process. A solid 5 out of 5! The villa was excellent too – modern design, comfortable bedrooms, infinity pool, sauna, hammam, indoor pool, floor heating, movie theater with 4K HDR projector and nice sound, pool table, etc. I think you should stay here longer to have time to try everything. Thank you again!
As a party of 10 we have recently returned from a stay at the beautiful Villa Buse in Kalkan. All I can say is WOW, the villa was everything we hoped for and more, the pool area and interior has everything you could need with loads of space for relaxing and dining. The sun beds were the comfiest ever.
The location was great with bars, restaurants and shops within walking distance, although we used the very cheap taxis back from the main town.
We would highly recommend the Villa Buse for large groups, and would definitely use the services of Julie at Elegant Retreats, who made the whole process of booking this villa very easy.
