Villa Mercan

Change over day: Flexible

• The perfect holiday destination, we could not fault this Villa.
  Extremely comfortable and perfectly located for dips in the sea or a wander into Kalkan for supper or some shopping.
  We had a week here with the whole family, we spent every other day exploring so many amazing local places and the days between relaxing by the pool or by the sea. It was total bliss.
  Kalkan Secrets were great to deal with especially with the Covid issues over the last two years. Will definitely book again.

• Villa Mercan is in a really good location with absolutely stunning views. It is a short walk into the town, however there are quite a few steps involved in leaving and returning to the villa as Kalkan is set on the side of a mountain. The villa is furnished to a very high standard with lots of little comforts that really make you feel at home. The infinity pool was our favourite spot to watch the boats come in and out of the harbour while keeping cool.
  
  The pool and seating area are amazing and are cleaned every day. There are also two more comfortable seating areas one which is located on the roof offering more outstanding views of the sea and harbour. We really appreciated the Welcome pack and the fresh bread brought every day. Helen and Alan were fabulous as well as their local representative, who could not have been more accommodating and helpful.
  
  Helen arranged the airport transfers, as we came out of the airport a gentleman was waiting with a board with our name on, he loaded our cases in and gave us all a welcome bottle of cold water. The return was just as easy, taxi arrived 20 minutes early, fantastic.
  
  We enjoyed every minute of our holiday and Kalkan has a certain charm about it that we have never experienced before. We will definitely be returning to Villa Mercan as we loved it so much.
  
  Thanks John and Kerri.

• Wow...
  
  I have just returned from the most wonderful 10 days holiday I have ever had. Villa Mercan was everything and more than what we anticipated to it be, with stunning sea views from every room which was particularly appealing as we woke each morning after some rather late nights “partaking” of the local cuisine! The villa is well equipped and excellently located just a few minutes’ walk along the sea front to the Old Town and harbour. It is very private and we were able to catch up on our sleep and top up on the tan lazing by the pool, with just an occasional dip to cool down! There is also a Jacuzzi on the amazing roof terrace which we also used both in the day time and the evening whilst viewing the lights of Kalkan. Whilst Palm Beach Club is less than 200 yards away, we preferred Yali and Indigo Beach Clubs (at the end of the bay) which are only the equivalent of about £3 in a taxi which are plentiful. An “early morning” taxi back from town was only £2.50 for all of us! I would definitely recommend Villa Mercan for the holiday of a life time!

• 10 Days in Paradise!
  
  I arrived at this villa late on a Monday night, and due to this, one would assume, I’d hit the hay in my lovely room ready for Tuesday...This assumption would be wrong as instead I spent the evening grabbing a few drinks out in town and then a midnight dip in the astonishing infinity pool – my first time in one – which was beautifully lit and over looked the colourful city of Kalkan. What a way to start a holiday! This residence is one that continues to amaze you morning-to-night and beginning-to-end. You wake up with a stunning sea-view and not even a slight disturbance as this property on the side the mountain just across from the town. With a fully fitted kitchen it's easy to rustle the bacon and eggs you bought from the local shops and enjoy this in the lounge whilst watching a wide-range of English programmes. If you're committed to sitting pool-side all day then clearly this can be done. However, if you're more of an explorer then it’s a simple 15 minute walk down the road - or a 2 minute taxi trip from one of the numbers the villa provides you! The villa-owners are very popular and well liked so the drivers certainly know the villa just by the name! I should also mention the owners provide you with an impressive welcome pack, filled with numbers, advice and useful information to help you get the best experience whilst abroad. In the evenings you can have you food or drinks on the 4th floor's terrace and dip in the Jacuzzi if you fancy! Honestly, it’s really quite a surreal feeling doing so, with such an amazing view right in front of your eyes. The photos shown from previous to the holiday don’t do it justice! Staying in Villa Mercan honestly felt like I was a celebrity for a week and every second was incredible! Whether it's a trip with the family or just a few mates, I can promise it's a trip you will be longing to do again and again and again! Thank you so much to Villa Mercan and the owners, you gave me a trip of a lifetime. I would, and have, recommended (and bragged) about this villa to all of my family and friends and I can bet they also would not be disappointed.

• Fabulous villa , fabulous views , fabulous place
  
  We had a fantastic week , villa had everything we needed and more , difficult to tear ourselves away to enjoy the area. Views to die for , close enough to town but taxis easy to arrange . Lots of steps but worth it . Every bedroom as a great view so no arguing about who gets what bedroom, lovely sun deck, seating area and jacuzzi at the top , great for late night drinking and relaxing . Can't recommend highly enough , just go . Kalkan is also a really lovely place . So many places to eat and drink and easy to get around with private taxis and private boats to snorkel . We will hopefully return . Thank you for sharing your home .

• Paradise Found....
  
  When you work hard all year you deserve a break that rewards you. However, this property, it's location and level of style and luxury exceed expectations! The owners and the process were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Book with confidence. Safe, secure and with a smile. Reward yourself next holiday, I'm sure you've deserved it. ENJOY

• We had a fabulous holiday the villa was outstanding hard to pick fault maybe mention the many steps access to the villa but it didn't really bother us its just what it is. The villa had every superb luxury you could imagine I highly recommend this villa to other holiday makers. Kalkan was lovely lots of restaurants and great food perhaps a little quiet but this was the month of May so to be expected There is no doubt it is a beautiful place and the people are wonderful. We had reservation about travelling to Turkey but there really was no need to have worried, the whole experience contributed to one of the best holidays I have ever had we certainly want to return.

• We came to Kalkan last year and didn't think we could better our experience but oh my goodness, how wrong could we be. Villa Mercan was beautiful and in a beautiful location. It offered everything that we could possibly want from a holiday home. The infinity pool was stunning and the seating area at the top of the building was brilliant end for a night out. All the rooms had floor to ceiling windows with stunning views and en suite facilities. I am sure we will make a return visit.

• Villa Mercan in Kalkan is as fabulous as it looks on the pictures. Loved using the roof top Jacuzzi in the morning and last thing at night sipping some fizz. The beds are comfy and the walk-in showers are spacious and unlike some villas the water pressure is good and the temperature great if you need a hot shower. The location is great as well. There are a few steps to negotiate in the villa as it is on four levels, however this is a great way to burn off those extra calories accumulated from the amazing restaurants in Kalkan. The Palm Beach club is just at the bottom of the steps to access the villa from the bottom road and you can swim in the sea here, get a boat taxi or eat in their restaurant. Also from here you can walk into town and it takes about 15 minutes. As this is such a great location there are a few more villas surrounding the plot, but this is typical in Kormuluk and is to be expected because it has the best views in Kalkan. I can highly recommend this villa and Helen (the owner) who looked after the booking and arranged our pick ups from the airport. She is very helpful and she has an on site agent Ibo to take care of any issues. Than you Helen and Alan for our perfect 10 days

• It was our first visit to Villa Merca in Kalkan....We found the villa was everything as described. The property was very clean and had all the facilities you need. Eating out is a must as there are so many lovely restaurants with excellent food and friendly staff.
  
  Would definitely recommend this villa to anyone who is looking for a bit of luxury accommodation with spectacular views...

• We had an absolutely wonderful holiday in superb accommodation that met all of our needs and more. With eight of us in our party and there being 4 double/twin en-suite rooms with spectacular front facing sea views and in some cases side balconies as well, everyone had their own space with views to die for. The beds were extremely comfortable, there was more than enough storage space and the en-suites provided you with a bath/shower & in some cases, both! The open plan kitchen/dining room & lounge was more than spacious and every facility imaginable was catered for including a separate downstairs cloakroom/laundry room, SKY TV and much more. Something to take note of, and which applies to most accommodation in Kalkan, is that there will be a large number of steps to and from your accommodation and to the sea front due to the fact that Kalkan is built into the hillside. This villa is no exception but the fact it is positioned nearer to the seafront than many makes it all worth while!
  
  Anyone that has been to Kalkan will tell you it is beautiful and it is! If you are a discerning traveller who looks for something that bit more special & upmarket then this is definitely for you. With an abundance of restaurants some of which we ate in each evening, (there are over 300 so I'm told), exclusive shops as well as your bazaar type retail outlets and the magnificent harbour offering you day trips with swimming in the sea, sunbathing on deck and a wonderful Al fresco lunch with wine, (yes, we did partake), and which we will definitely do again on our next visit! It was wonderful! A must do!
  
  Until the next time....

• Visited Villa Mercan for a short break in October and it wasn't a disappontment! The villa is built and furnished to a wonderful standard. The views from all the balconies are just stunning. Fantastic pool with superb views to the sea. Great equipped kitchen, TV with many UK channels, including all the sports channels.
  
  Kalkan itself is a beautiful, picturesque coastal town. There are lots of restaurants and bars - but not rowdy - lovely quaint shops and a really interesting market on a Thursday.
  
  All in all, I would definitely recommend both the area and Villa Mercan for a stay!

• I can honestly say the villa was amazing.The views from every room were superb.The infinity pool has a view that goes on for miles.The villa's kitchen is well equipped for everyday needs.Every bedroom has an on suite. The shower has good water pressure which is a bit of bonus as most placed I have stayed do not.Very clean throughout.Pool man arrives every morning so pool clean.Good quality bedding and towels in all rooms.Jacuzzi on the top floor was amazing.There is a large seating area next to it so you can chill.The town is a short walk away or a taxi is around £3.Kalcan is a more up market place but very affordable.The food is to die for.We ate in a different restaurant every night.The towns people I cannot fault.So friendly and welcoming.I had a fantastic 10 days there and would go back to the villa and Kalkan in a heartbeat.The owners of the villa are very lucky people.
