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…
Thank you for a wonderful week in the most amazing villa. Superb views that we all always remember. Loved the beach club at Mahal. Teens loved the shopping.
Wonderful memories.
Thanks to David for all help and recommendations.
Sensational!
We spent 2 of the most amazing weeks here. The villa was incredible, the view were exceptional and we enjoyed every moment. David and Ahmet were amazing if we needed anything. We return to Kalkan time and time again and will definitely return to the Architect's House.
We are incredibly sat to be leaving.
Thank you.
Fantastic villa, providing everything you could need.
We have fallen in love with Kalkan, such a lovely restort. Great recommendations from David for restaurants.
Would love to take the cats home!
We don't want to leave!
We had the most amazing 2 weeks here. The villa was stunning, comfortable and clean. Beautifully maintained by a fabulous team who were always on hand. I cannot fault anything on the trip at all. Special thanks to David and Ahmet.
We enjoyed another wonderful stay at the beautiful Architect's House in Kalkan. 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.
Thanks again to Imogen and Ian for excellent customer service.
Thank you for a wonderful week in the most amazing villa. Superb views that we will always remember. Loved Beach Club a Mahal, teens loved the shopping.
Wondeful memories!
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.
Thank you for a wonderful week at this amazing villa...the decor, the view and the ambience were spectacular.
We have already booked for next year!
A gorgeous week away here in Kalkan. Beautiful villa: setting, views, ambience...everything was wonderful.
Dined in some fab restaurants. Thank you again for a perfect week of days by the sea, bbqs, effes and aperols in the sun!
We will be back!
Wow! What a view, fabulous villa, everything you could possibly want. We are sad to be leaving after a week of rest and relaxation.
Kalkan is a beautiful resort, we will definitely be back.
Thank you for another wonderful holiday in your fabulous villa! More happy family memories created and we are all leaving relaxed and so well rested.
We would highly recommend Salonika, Salt & Pepper, Korsan Meze, Sunset Cruises and of course the fabulous Mahal Beach Club!
We will be back!
Thanks again, The Newington Family
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
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!
Thank you for an awesome stay! We had teh best time ever, with some great recommendations.
Beautiful villa in a beautiful setting,
Thank you again.
Thank you for the most fabulous week staying at Architect's House. Such an incredible stay in such a beautiful setting. Stunning interiors, gorgeous views and just generally an amazing atmosphere and setting. So many incredible things to do and see in Kalkan; stunning food, boat trips out at sea, and just being in such a great place!
We will be back! Thank you!
What a superb villa Architect's House is, everything has been perfectly executed, making for a relaxing holiday, we do not want to leave!
This is our fourth year in wonderful Kalkan, and we're still finding new things to explore, canoeing down the Xanthos river this time around.
Thank you for a brilliant holiday, time for one last look at the view!
What an amazing villa! We have just spent such a brilliant week and love every last detail of this villa, it was perfect. The pool, the space, the way the villa is finished is spot on!
We will definitely be back again.
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
Yusuf was a fantastic contact for taxis and Ridvan really helpful with any queries.
We will be back!
