Message: We agree with all previous comments - gorgeous villa, beautiful setting and fantastic weather. We had hours of fun jumping the waves at Fizz beach. Wonderful meal at Orfos in Side,fresh fish, excellent service with the sun setting over the sea - making the perfect backdrop. Kids were adored and welcomed wherever we visited. Our only disappointment was that we booked one week instead of two! Definitely want to go back next year!

Message: Fabulous surroundings, beautiful villa and great weather! Slept really well in the amazingly comfy bed and loved the DVD collection. Was really impressed with the interior decor too. I still miss the magnums by the pool, was so convenient, and so much to see in the area as well, I'll definitely come back!

Message: We had a lovely holiday. The villa is large and spacious, with great facilities. The complex is immaculate, well maintained and peaceful. The pool is family friendly. We used the gym,the table tennis, and tennis courts. We had great service from the pool bar. We went on trips to Aspendos,Side, Antalya, Alayna, and rafting, all good days.
We went to Side, Kumkoy, and Managvat.
We enjoyed the food, and even had a couple of BBQ's (the butcher on the top road, is very good). We had a very relaxing visit, lots of sun bathing, and reading. We would reccomend this villa to families with young children.
Thank you for arranging everything, the transfers, and especially for allowing us to stay late on the day of departure, we really appreciated it.

Message: We had a fabulous holiday in your fabulous villa - thank you so much. Really great accommodation, and the service around the beautiful pool was fun & friendly with v tasty bar snacks! Cihan in Colakli is as good as everyone says and amazing value. We LOVED Side - caught the Dolmus from outside the Victory hotel. Great fun shopping & haggling, and the Temple of Athena & Apollo is so beautiful & suprising at sunset. Had great meal at The End watching sea turtles, but found the Italian next door was v mediocre with lacklustre service considering the price. Enjoyed a day at the water park next to the Golden Coast Hotel (which we walked to) - great slides, really clean but be prepared for v loud Turkish rock music! We found everyone so friendly & eager to help -and didn't mind the hassle from the shopkeepers as was all fun and never offended if you didn't want to look/buy/buy more! We found the best deals by bartering in english pounds for the more expensive items. We made one trip via the Dolmus to Migros supermarket in Manavgat, but ended up seriously overcharged for a metered taxi back. And the small supermarkets near the complex are actually no dearer and have pretty much everything you need. Weather was HOT, but your air conditioning is fantastic and made our stay v comfortable! Hope to return next year....

Message: Thank you for arranging such a fantastic hol for us.Even though we couldn't stay in your villa you sorted out an alternative & guided us on where to go & where to eat.You thought of everything.The villa's are superb,such lovely quality,v spacious & ideal for families.The site is well maintained & is kept very clean by all staff.We would recommend to others a restaurant in Side called 'Sofra'.They were still decking out the inside of the restaurant but Mike & Abdulla-front of house staff-made our two visits to the restaurant very special & on one occasion gave us a lift back to the villa for free!Cihan restaurant is fab with a fantastic atmosphere,reasonably priced food & free transport from & to the villa - great if you are wanting to catch a football match - I think I spotted about 3 screens showing 3 seperate matches! We visited in April 09 & it was at the start of the holiday season which meant that it was quite quiet in the local towns-we preferred it this way!The weather was great & v hot,it had rained briefly prior to us arriving but we never had a dull day-sun sun sun all the way! The shop owners in Side were forever enticing you in to have a 'lookie lookie' & you might find this annoying but they are never rude so just smile & walk on by! If you do want to buy something then 'barter' all the way-it's fun!Thank you again guys!We will be recommending you to others & hope to return in the future.

Message: Thanks Andrea & Paul we had a great time in your lovely villa at the end of October 2008. Weather in Turkey was superb, 25C - 30C every day, clear blue skies and a light breeze. As it was late October, local beaches and the site was quiet, which was very nice and relaxing. The local shops and security guys were great and very friendly, despite them not speaking much English. We hired a car from Ugur drove all the way upto Alanya castle, great views from the top. Getting the Dolmus into/out of Side was a real experience, very enjoyable and cheap. Fizz is a great local beach, good food and drink and they will come and pick you up from the villa take you to the beach and drop you off back at the villa when you are done. Even the local restaurants will come and pick you up from the villa, take you to the restaurant and then drop you off back at the villa when you are done (no need for taxis), food is tasty and great value. They will also deliver take aways to the villa. The Italian Restaurant in Side was the best meal, although also the most expensive. The Ende Restaurant was also great for Fish. The Address restaurant, outside Side was a little difficult to find, but a very nice restaurant (well worth the effort to find) and very good value. Really easy to get around, if you want to chill out on the beach and visit the local area, you can get away without hiring a car, just get Fizz beach to pick you up and get the Dolmus in/out of Side.

Message: Thanks Andrea and Paul for the hire of your lovely Villa, we had a wonderful time and can echo all the previous comments. Your villa is superb, modern, well appointed, very good quality and the site, pool and facilities excellent. We made good use of the two local shops across the road, and visited the supermarket Magros near SIDE useful for the big shop but no cheaper. We were there first two weeks of September, still very hot 35c but pleasant and welcome break from uk rain. When you go, try the local kebab restaurants recommended in the information booklet, they are excellent value. Fiz Beach too, really well looked after by Denis and Al. We hired a car the whole holiday, used Ugur the local guy (ask Andrea for contact details) he collected us from Antalya airport and provided minibus back on last day. Very relaxed about payment, suggest you take uk sterling cash to pay him he doesn't like credit cards! Trips, try the white water rafting, all the companies similar, fantastic day out and really good fun for all ages, great value too at 12 to 15 euros. We all had a great time (aged 18 to 40 somethings), thoroughly recommended. Jerry, Gill, Simon, Nic Perrin & James R-B.

Message: What a fabulous Villa. The facilities in the Villa are really good and this is a great comfort when travelling with a 2 year old! The villa had everything we needed. We went in April and the weather was perfect and sunny but not uncomfortably hot. We will definitely be going back

Message: We had a fantastic time at your villa.

The weather was great, not a cloud in the sky unlike now as I look out of our office window. Your villa and complex are superb and we immediately felt at home. It was a fantastic base for our first visit to Turkey.
