Well-equipped villa with amazing outside space, pools and views

The villa is very comfortable and well equipped, especially the kitchen! Although we did not make much use of the gym, it would be good for those who wish to keep fit on holiday.

Although it did look comfy, we did not make much use of the TV room, we much preferred being outside and enjoying the views.

We stayed in the top floor bedroom and although the balcony is very small and unfurnished, just across the landing is the lovely roof terrace with comfy sofa sets and a day bed, most evenings we enjoy a glass of wine on the roof terrace catching the last of the setting sun.

What really sets this villa apart from any other Kalkan villa we have stayed in is the outside space, with a large upper pool terrace with comfy seating, large dining table, infinity pool, table football and ping pong.

If the upper terrace and pool was not enough, there is also a lower pool terrace with second pool, Jacuzzi, garden with covered ottoman style seating, ideal for enjoying an evening drink with some candles!

Having the two pools is ideal for families, as the older kids can mess around in the lower pool and the adults can relax in the upper pool!

We spent many days down on the waterside platform, a path leads down beside the villa to the villa's own waterside bathing platform, set over three levels and furnished with comfy sun mattresses and parasols, it felt like being at your own private beach club! We would fill the provided cool box with ice and drinks to take down and enjoy throughout the day. We also purchased a waterproof inflatable swim bag and swam across (less than 10 minutes swim) to the Kulube Hotel for lunch and drinks! We also found that the Lures Hotel would send their shuttle boat across to pick us up from the villa's jetty/platform so we could spend the day at the beach club and for pre-booked spa treatments at the hotel.

We had a fantastic holiday at The Glass House and are already keen to return!

Like a hidden oasis

This is not the largest or most modern of villas in Kalkan but it has a lovely feel and the extensive, stunning gardens fringed by palm trees on the lower level are like a hidden oasis, with its fountain, waterfalls and pools and I don't think it can be surpassed by any luxury offerings in further flung tropical locations. The ground floor terrace is a wonderful place for dining with plenty of areas to socialise and enjoy evening drinks while soaking in the far reaching sea views, with the option to cook a bbq supper on the large built in bbq with outside sink. The second pool on this level means that guests have plenty of options for privacy or peace and quiet during the day. Both our morning coffees and night cap were enjoyed from the private first floor terrace whilst sitting on the traditional Turkish sofas or lying on the four poster day bed watching the moon rise over the bay. And if this isn't enough….. There's a stunning walkway covered in parts with bougainvillea down to the private beach platform with the most comfortable sun beds we've come across, large sun shades, complimentary towels and easy access to the sea.

The outside space is great, probably the best around!

Like the private jetty. Umut, your contact in Kalkan is great, really helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Everything is on the doorstep whether sports, food, shops, etc. The taxi service in Kalkan is amazing. Plenty of restaurants with differing menus.

''Beautiful villa!''

The amazing outdoor areas, two pools, sun beds on two levels, the separate eating areas, the private jetty, the bonus of a gym at the property and of course the beautiful villa! We had a fabulous week in Kalkan, we stayed at the Glass House which was fabulous - I would recommend a hire car for supermarket shops and its definitely longer than the 25 mins walk into town! We tipped the taxi driver on our first ride and he gave us his card and looked after us for the week, it really isn't worth the walk on the roads/hills in the heat when the taxis are such good value. The views and the Villa are truly amazing - definitely recommend!

'Wow....just wow!'

We stayed here for our very intimate wedding and honeymoon in June 2017 and wow...just wow! The Glass House is truly perfect, the owner has a great eye for detail and the villa is decorated and furnished to a very high standard and equipped with everything you could want. The villa is located at the far end of Kalamar Bay, on a large plot of land meaning there are establish gardens, plenty of places to relax whether you want sun or shade, and when it is time for a G & T, you can pick a lemon straight from the tree! One of the things we enjoyed the most about this villa is the private bathing platform over the sea, we filled one of the cool boxes provided at the villa with drinks and food and spent the day relaxing on the comfy beds on the platform and dipping in the sea every now and then to cool off. If you want to holiday in style and comfort then The Glass House is a must! We haven't found another villa of this standard, which is why we are already planning to return in 2018!
