We had the most luxurious week in Architects House

Wow! What a villa. What a view. We had the most luxurious week in Architects House. The photos looked almost too good to be true and we were a bit worried the villa would not meet our expectations, however I can confirm it is just as amazing in real life - if not more so. The villa is in a quiet area but Kalkan town is only a 20 minute walk and is crammed full of restaurants, bars and shops. Everywhere is very hilly so you need to be fit to walk anywhere. We used to walk into town (downhill) and get a taxi back which was only £5. The beach club is very close and didn't take long to walk there but it was hard work walking back up the steps. There is a supermarket by the villa but it is quite expensive, we found a cheaper one in town. We had lovely meals in Salt and Pepper, Panorama and Seaport. We have fallen in love with Kalkan and if we ever come back it will have to be to Architects House as no where else could possibly compare. Lastly, thank you to David for all your advice and assistance during our stay. Until next time…

This was our third visit to this beautiful villa and our 4th visit to Kalkan in 4 years

The trip was expertly arranged for us once again with Imogen and we are so happy to be booking our next visit for summer 2027 with the Turquoise Collection. We look forward to returning next year, it is such a perfect holiday for us to spend time relaxing as a family, knowing that the villa so well we can relax as soon as we arrive.

Both a perfect base for discovering and a place to rest.

Had a fantastic 5 days here in the villa.  Both a perfect base for discovering and a place to rest.

So many places to eat in the town, we liked Panorama, Coast, Doy Doy, Mahal and the village restaurant Pirha Köy Sofrası - go for breakfast.

Jet ski highlight was the jumping swordfish.

All in all a very rewarding time.

This is our 18th year and best villa by far!

We have had a wonderful week here, enjoying the space, the view and the attention to detail. All of the service staff were excellent!

It was rather special for us as our daughter got engaged and had a beautiful ring made at Yardan.

Our favourite restaurants were Korsan Fish Meze with a fantastic saxophonist/singer, mey who brought our daughter and her fiancé complimentary cocktails and fireworks, then Antioch with some different starters and friendly staff. 

This is our 18th year and best villa by far!

Thank you, The Stewarts

The villa has been an exceptional base with exceptional help on hand

Another glorious break in Kalkan. Heading back to reality feeling super relaxed and recharged (if a little heavier!).

Highlights have to be our lovely private boat trip on Caretta 2. Stand out meal (by a mile) was Mina Art Café - Persian perfection (booking it now!).

The villa has been an exceptional base with exceptional help on hand - thanks to Ridvan, and Yusuf the taxi man - both fabulous.

Our last morning, imprinting this view on our memories!

See you again Kalkan!

A fantastic stay from start to finish, the best villa we have stayed in; everything was so well thought through for a relaxing holiday.

Highlights;

  • Belmuar Çınaraltı Restaurant - breakfast in the hills; 20 minute drive with views to die for and wonderful Turkish feast.
  • Mahal Beach Club - diving off the rocks and platforms into the sea; and delicious lunches
  • Day trip to Kas - great harbour and restaurants
