There are marble floors and staircases throughout and attractive concealed lighting in the lounge, which has traditional Turkish rugs and cushions.

Great Villa with everything you need and amazing views of the town.
The villa was really lovely a little tricky to find in the dark but amazing when you get there. The water cooler was much appreciated, thank you for purchasing before our arrival. The villa is well equipped and the rooms a good size the showers were powerful and amazing views. Taxis cheap to town approx £2-£3 so no need to hire a car. The property manager was great very helpful and the pool was cleaned regularly. We would recommend this villa if visiting Kalkan. Janet and Mike great communication throughout our booking thank you.

It doesn't get much better than this.
June / July 2019 was our 4th (I think) stay at Villa Hilal, and once again it was an absolutely perfect stay. The villa and gardens are as well kept, beautiful and welcoming as ever. You have everything you could wish for here. The new shaded area works well - I was worried it might make the pool feel cooler, but the shade was on the pool for such a short time in the mornings and didn't affect it at all. We enjoyed having games and books provided, we always enjoy a few rounds of Yahtzee by the pool, and of course the company of the wonderful cats who are around. Mike and Janet are simply the best hosts, and any minor issues (which are few and far between!) are dealt with quickly and without fuss. We'll be back!

Fab villa holiday
Stayed at Villa Hilal for two weeks at the end of July. Lovely Villa, very comfortable with every facility you could wish for. Have visited Kalkan for the past 10 years and have stayed in a lot of different villas in different parts of Kalkan and I was not disappointed with our choice this year. Fabulous view over Kalkan bay from the terraces and a peaceful setting. Would definitely stay here again. Owners were very accommodating. Thank you for our wonderful stay.

Best villa experience ever!
From the first contact, Mike was always prompt to respond to e-mail queries and very quick to address minor issues that arose during our stay. Once you get used to the incredibly steep roadway up to the property (and the associated need to send a "spotter" out to check the road is clear before flooring the accelerator) the situation and condition of the villa is nigh on perfect. Yes, the recent construction of a villa immediately below does partially obscure the view of the town from the pool terrace (although not from the first and second floor balconies), but this in no way impacts the feeling of privacy that the lack of close, overlooking neighbours provides. The pool itself is the cleanest we have ever seen and the villa is well-equipped in every respect (I especially welcomed the choice of gas and traditional charcoal barbecues and enjoyed the regal comfort of the reclining "steamer" chairs, while our 2 teenage girls fell in love with the hammock and cushioned "kosk"). The kitchen was well-stocked and we had no problems catering for a party of 10 around the outdoor table. The complete absence of wasps/mosquitoes made eating outside a pleasure (compared to some visits to Greek islands where we have been forced inside on occasion). Love the easy access from Dalaman; the great restaurants in Kalkan; useful corner shop by the main road and easy access to Akbel Sunday market (10 minute walk) and Islamlar trout restaurants (10 minute drive). A great holiday all round!

Perfect Getaway Villa for Kalkan
First visit to Kalkan, so we were looking for a villa with a pool. As a family of 2 adults and 4 children under 14, we like to have a mixture of eating out, home delivery and cooking as well as having our breakfasts by the pool. The villa comes with what is essentially 3 double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms (there is also a sauna on the top floor but with temperatures in the mid 30s this is somewhat redundant).. The pool is much bigger than expected and constantly warm. Mike has setup the villa to contain six people, but we had a family of four from the town visiting us most evenings for dinner (outside) and the table size was no problem. Whilst the villa is in the town if Kalkan, unless you plan to stay in the villa full time you will need a car or taxi for practical purposes. Also do not underestimate the severity of the incline to the villa for either car or person - we had to ditch two people if we wanted to make it up the hill. The villa is very private and it is is almost impossible for the neighbors to observe you. The views are spectacular and the quality of the accommodation is top notch. The maids come in once or twice a week and the pool man seemed to empty the external bins every morning. Many thanks Mike for a wonderful stay.

Perfect
My partner and I stayed here in September 2014, and fell in love with Villa Hilal. It's just fabulous - it has everything you need, the interior of the villa is bright and modern but still feels Turkish. The pool and outside area is wonderfully private (one of the main reasons we booked it in the first place) and the views are pretty stunning. Mike and Janet are wonderful - all communications are swift, friendly and helpful, and Mike even tried to help us out when we contacted him in Summer 2015 after experiencing some problems whilst holidaying in nearby Kaş. We're very excited to be returning to Villa Hilal in a few weeks - counting the days!

superb villa, superb location, superb time, highly recommend.
we stayed for just a week and could easily have stayed much longer, we would definitely return and very much hope to. the villa is set high on the hill above kalkan with stunning views down to the bay and kalkan and up to the surrounding mountains, the accommodation is impeccable with everything you could possibly need, i especially liked the pool and the kosk (turkish seating area) we chilled in both for both sun up and sun down. the main terrace is spacious, very well provided and not overlooked and the villa balconies to each room are perfect especially for the sunsets. kalkan centre is a good way down the hill, we hired a jeep which was perfect for getting there and wondering of and exploring on our own jeep safari (you can take on and off road routes up the mountains and the coast road to kas is stunning) we also did and recommend the quad biking at patara beach which was not as tame as i expected and huge fun over the dunes and along the deserted beach / sea front, patara is a very cool place to visit whether quad biking or not. we also did the paragliding off the top of the mountain above kas, a serene 20 minute flight over the hills above the bohemian small town and gently down to the port, a definite high light (pardon the pun) and again i highly recommend kas town for a visit. (we booked these through osgur at define tours on the front at kalkan). kalkan is exactly as others on here have described, a beautiful picturesque place with many many high quality restaurants we had fantastic food and atmosphere at all we visited and especially enjoyed the botanik garden bar for cocktails in a hammock or on beanbags after in their "hidden" garden. all in all it was a great, great week and i thank mike and janet so much for letting us have the use of their villa.

Endroit parfait, pour visiter la région
Mike, le propriétaire est la personne la plus serviable que vous puissiez rencontrer, il vous aidera à préparer le séjour, vous mettra en contact avec les bon interlocuteurs et ferra tout pour que votre séjour soit parfait. La villa est situé sur les hauteurs (et cela grimpe très vite à Kalkan) de Kalkan, une voiture est indispensable, cependant, un petit village à 5 minutes à pied pourra vous approvisionner, vous trouverez tout le nécessaire à des prix turque et non touristique comme dans la ville de Kalkan. La maison est sur 3 niveaux, parfaitement équipée, avec une piscine très agréable. Impossible de ne pas aimer cet endroit pour un séjour familiale.

A wonderful villa with breathtaking views, equipped with everything you need for a fabulous holiday!
My husband and I decided to holiday here with our friends for 10 days in July. The villa is situated right at the top of a steep hill, providing guests with the most spectacular view of Kalkan and the surrounding area. It is not overlooked, and the days (& evenings) were as peaceful or as lively as we wished to make them! Villa Hilal was spotlessly clean and everything had been carefully thought over - right down to the fish grilling basket rack for the BBQ! The pool is delightful and kept very clean by the gardener, who visited early every morning before we were awake. The bedrooms in the villa were very comfortable, as were the bathrooms and living areas. The outdoor cooking appliances were good quality, and we certainly enjoyed revelling in the culinary delights Kalkan had to offer. From booking the villa, right through to receiving our damages deposit back, Mike (owner) was always swift in replying to any questions or problems we encountered. Whilst at the villa, we had a minor issue with the shower drain in the downstairs bathroom. I emailed Mike that evening informing him of the situation and by 10am the following morning a plumber had fixed the shower. We truly fell in love with Kalkan, and villa Hilal, and are already discussing our next visit! Thank you so much for letting us stay at your villa Mike and Janet, we absolutely loved it and WILL be back!
