Villa Zafira, a beautiful villa with private pool and 10 minutes walk to town

Stayed at the villa in September 2022, everything was as advertised. The communication with Sheila was first rate and she even helped to arrange the airport transfers which saved a lot of trouble. The maintenance and cleaning team were very professional. There were a couple of restaurants close by that saved a lot of walking up and down into Kalkan although we had just about got used to the hill up to the property by the end of our 2 weeks. In summary, we loved the villa and would not hessitate to book again.

We had a very nice and comfortable stay at Villa Zafira. When we arrived late at night there was a welcome pack with food essentials and the Villa was lovely and clean. The roof terrace off the top bedroom had a beautiful view and we were so impressed. The photo's had looked good but in reality it was even nicer. A man came and cleaned the pool each morning and the layout of the outside space was lovely with very nice sun loungers and a well needed pretty shady section. There is a bit of background noise from the main road into Kalkan from behind the villa but you soon get used to it. There is a small supermarket just down the road called BIM which was very handy and we had a few evenings where we had a bbq. Although a 15-20 minute walk to the Old Town and Harbour, we would occasionally get a taxi down in the heat which was 15-20 Lire. The walk home is quite steep so we built up some good muscle power! Our first trip to wonderful Kalkan with boat trips, canoeing and little local adventures was extremely special. Additionally, the communication from Sheila, the owner was fantastic so I wouldn't hesitate in recommending a stay here. Many of our friends now want to visit after seeing our photos!

Rooms and bathrooms were nice. Nice, large sitting room and kitchen/dining room. The whole family loved the pool which was cleaned daily. Nearby to supermarkets, lovely family restaurants and the Harbour. Would definitely stay again!

My wife and I stayed at Villa Zafira for 10 days in early July. The structure of the villa - 3 floors with overhanging balconies - not only looks great (very art deco classical) but gives some great opportunities for both shady and sunny areas. As the sun moves round the pool throughought the day, there's always a number of spots where one can take a break from it. The interior is roomy, classy and, again due to the design, not always as hot as one would think due to lots and lots of french windows which when opened give a beautiful through-breeze. When there's no breeze, the air-conditioning is extremely effective, and available in every room. The 3 bathrooms (especially the main 2) are very nice and well-appointed - We loved the jacuzzi bath in the main bedroom and the huge shower enclosure in the second bedroom. The ground floor cloakroom is a great bonus. We didn't do any actual cooking in the kitchen but it was well stocked with cutlery, crockety and utensils. The large fridge-freezer is great and keeps things nice and cold! The outside dining and sitting area is absolutely delightful and shaded by fragrant plants. The pool is lovely and just the right size for us. The pool area is only slightly overlooked by adjacent properties. Not entirely private but felt quiet and safe. It must be said that the villa is right next to the main Fethiye/Kas road and for the first few days the sound of the traffic did bother us, but we did start to get used to it and think that if we'd been there with a large family then it wouldn't have been so noticeable. There is a steep road down to the town, but as others have said, taxis are readily available and very cheap. We tended to walk down and cab back! The location of the villa means that it is more likely to benefit from lovely breezes from the hills, especially in the evenings, so we were glad we were so high up and could also benefit from the fab views from the top terrace. We had airport transfers arranged for us by the owner, and the maintenance/cleaning team were efficient, friendly and professional (an issue with the internet was fixed very quickly). Overall we loved this villa, would consider going back and would not hesitate to recommend it as a spacious, well-appointed and well designed property.
