| "Had a lovely holiday at Villa Jolio. This was our first villa holiday and it exceeded our expectations. It was also our first trip to Turkey and we will definately be returning some time in the future. The villa was well furnished and extremely spacious. The pool was lovely and clean and the pool cleaner came every morning to make sure it stayed that way! The villa is set in a great location amongst the montains so there was beautiful views to wake up to every morning. The villa was a great base for us as we had two small infants and it was nice to be able to put them to bed when they wanted a nap and we were then able to enjoy the sunshine. Also good that downstairs is open plan so we could always keep an eye on them. The veranda was also great and we enjoyed spending evenings out there with a BBQ and a few drinks (plenty of mozzy repelant needed though!) Hissonarou was approx 30 mins walk (with pushchairs) so we would walk there and taxi back. Would recommend using the villa mobile (very useful) and phoning Dormuz as he was lovely and cheaper that the other taxi firms. Only negative comments we we would make would be that the cupboards could do with cleaning and sorting. There were alot of expired products which were attracting flies. The villa other than that was clean and tidy. Also, one of the travel cots provided would only suit a baby who could not pull themselves up (although I think this was provided by the hotel and not by the villa owners, the one provided by the villa owners was perfectly adequate). Would recommend a meal at the Buzz Bar in Olu Deniz and spending a day at Sugar Beach. If you phone either of these, they will collect you from the villa free of charge! Hotel staff were helpful and we had no bother from the dogs. You can hear them barking now and then but not enough to spoil your holiday. We would definately recommend Turkey as a holiday destination and Villa Jolio. We hope to be able to return again soon. Wish we had booked for 10 days instead of 7!! Enjoy!!"

The weather was beautiful, hot and sunny without the blistering heat. We would definitely consider retuning at this time of year.
Our freinds were smitten too!
Cant wait to return!"

| "We was very lucky in our choice of villa as they all look quite nice in the photos but you dont really know what you are going to end up with until you get there. I would say villa Jolio was one of the best looking villas that we saw on our hoilday.The pool was also a great size compared to a lot that we saw.The location for us was great as we don't like to be on top of everything and it was only a short cab ride away to get to the town centre.There was everything in the villa that you needed which made our holiday with 3 children easier.
The staff at the hotel next door were very helpful even making us sandwich's at 1am when we arrived.There has been alot of remarks about the hotel dogs barking,Im not a animal lover and the dogs did bark but not enough to affect me.
There is a mobile phone in the villa for you to use and that is a great idea.All the phone no's you need are stored in it .Drumus the cab driver was very reliable and we used him for every outing as he was cheaper than the buses.
For us the only downside was the pool would get shaded in between 3-5pm and the poolman and gardener
Omar was very friendly but he would vist the villa frequently throughout the day.
Overall we had a brilliant holiday and if we returned to Turkey we would stay at Villa Jolio again.
Enjoy your vist,The Puleston Family."

The Villa is in just the right location, a wonderful aspect of pine forest and mountains. Close by is a small family run hotel whose owners are hospitable and friendly and will assist with any enquires one might have regarding the area.
The Villa is spacious and meets all needs for a very happy family holiday.
I would certainly recommend the Villa Jolio to my friends and family.

| "We had a fantastic holiday in Turkey and Villa Jolio was the perfect base for us.It was like a home from home with everything you could need and a little more besides!
The views from the villa were lovely and it was great to sit out in the morning and have breakfast in such peaceful surroundings.
Although set in a quiet area the Hotel Celay is just next door and handy to drop in for the first or last drink of the day.The meals at the hotel are adequate but I would recommend eating elsewhere as there are much better restaurants in Hisanarou and Fethiye.
We hired a car for the week which I think is essential if you want to visit the many places there are to see in the area. However, if you just want to chill out there are restaurants within walking distance but leave the high heels at home.
We would definately recommend the Villa Jolio to friends ( but not too loudly as everyone will want to go and it might be booked up the next time we want to go ourselves )"

I would recomend the 12 island boat trip and the Turkish baths both can be booked by the hotel you will be picked up and brought back all in the price FANTASTIC!!
But dont take my word for it check it out for your self.
PS we had heard of some adverse reports of the gardeners who maintain the pool as being around a bit to often, this is completly not true they come early in the morning to tend the pool (you wouldnt want to swim in a dirty pool would you) and they are very friendly.
Many thanks to John and his family for giving us the oppotunity to stay at their truely wonderful villa."

| "Only problem was the loud barking from the dog in the Hotel next door which disturbed us each night.
Pool cleaning staff spent too much time each day on the property which meant lack of privacy .
Garden lights come on too late at night, especially for September - had to barbeque in the dark!
Otherwise everything was great and we may well be back."

| "The villa was lovely and far exceeded expectations. We were welcomed by the owner of the hotel and instantly felt at home. The villa had many homely touches that added to the holiday, eg basic food rations and water already waiting, mobile phone, extensive information catologue, board games and inflatables in the pool. The pool and grounds were very well maintained and the views are stunning. We loved Turkey, it's people and the food and will definately return. Our transfers were arranged by the owners and all ran very smoothly.
The only downside was the distance to the beach but as this is made clear in the advert for the villa it is not really a problem. We found that using the dolmus (albeit cheap) for a family of four to and from the beach each day plus again on the night time to go to Fethiye or Hisonorou certainly used up the lira. There were however some nice restuarants within walking distance of the villa with one owner even giving us a lift home at the end of the evening.
Overall a fantastic holiday and I would certainly recommend both Turkey and the villa.
Heather August 2006"

| "This villa is excellent value for money. It has been very well furnished and has everything you need to enjoy your holiday. The grounds were well kept and the mountain views outstanding. The pool was immaculate and maintained daily by Omar.
We have just returned from 3 weeks there and loved every minute of it. The people at the hotel next door were extremely helpful and kind and it was very handy for breakfast or that last drink before bed!
We used a taxi to go anywhere from the house. There were 6 of us and it cost pennies more than the local bus and even the slightest bank can seem mountainous in the summer sun in Turkey!
The villa is in a peaceful position and at night you have Hisaranou a couple of minutes drive away, which is a lively town with numerous excellent restaurants and bars. We highly recommend Villa Jollio to you."

| "We arrived a little apprehensive as this was our first villa holiday in Turkey (which we have visited many times),but we were not disappointed! The views were beautiful and it was secluded.
This was a holiday that offered to us a combination of excitement through excursions and relaxation by the amazing pool!
The people around us were very helpful and full of information when ever we needed - even suppling contacts for renting a car.
We were not that impressed with the hotel food that was next door - very limited, although the people were fantastic.There are many local restaurants which were also good value for money.
As we had several teenagers with us I can definetly recommend the jeep safari, and for a romantic (never to be beaten) dinner, with amazing views, White Dolphin in Olu Deniz. The restaurant collects you and drops you off after your meal. A taste of sheer luxury!
A fantastic holiday - so fab that we are going back next year for three weeks - see you there!!!!"

| "What can I say but this is a perfect destination to relax and unwind- Even with 3 children under 5!!!. The interior is without doubt beautiful. The pool is inviting to say the least. The level of support from the hotel is superb without being obtrusive- so you have privacy without feeling isolated. (When we arrived in the evening of the first day, once we had settled in and put the children to bed, the manager personally brought a meal over for us).
All in all this was a desination that gave us everything we needed and more. My only complaint was that we booked one week instead of two- we were worried about going abroad for the first time with the children. Our concerns were unfounded, considering the resources available it was a real home from home.
This was the place to be. Go for it and enjoy. You will not be dissapointed"

| "We were very impressed with the villa. It was beautifully decorated and extremely clean. The view from the villa was magnificent, although it is overlooked. The description of the villa therefore, is a little misleading as it gives the impression of ultimate seclusion. The gardners were very attentive and obviously looked after the grounds with the upmost care, but it did feel a little intrusive as they entered the villa grounds a few times each day quite freely. The hotel next door was very helpful and made our holiday very easy. All in all we were very happy with the villa and our holiday and would recommend it to friends and family. Thank you very much."

Thank you once again. We'd all love to come back!"

| "villa jolio was an exceptional villa, it was excellent value for money, exceedingly clean and very well organised. The pool and gardens were kept clean on a daily basis and it was great having the hotel and their exceptionally helpful staff around. The only downside was that the beach was a car ride away, however we knew this and therefore wasn't a problem, especially with the local buses leaving very regularly. The holiday and villa was great and I will be reccommending it to our friends and family. In addition to this John and Liz Ovens prepared the information both before and during our stay to the highest of standards and we really felt like we were looked after, I'll be choosing the Ovens for travel agents in the future - do they organise trips to the Caribbean and have they got a villa there?
All in all - wonderful even if we got our wallet stolen at the market at Fethiye!"

As an extra bonus the villa is close to all amenities, but not remote. I would visit this villa again given the opportunity"

"When we arrived in Turkey we really did'nt know what to expect, having holidayed in Spain for the last 7 years we thought a change would be good. We certainly was not dissapointed. The Villa Jolio was in a perfect location if you want to unwind and totally chill out, the views around us were stunning. Mountains,beautiful trees and greenery surrounded us, it is such an idyllic place to stay. We were not overlooked by other villas, although there were other villas in the vicinity they did not obscure our view,there were no people wandering by at all as the location was slightly off the beaten track so to speak.
We did'nt need a car as the shops, bars and superb restaurants were about a twenty minute walk down the hill and the taxi's were very reasonably priced, we found ourselves walking to Hisoranou and riding back. Although we did hire a jeep for a couple of days, just to see more of the superb countryside and idyllic settings.
The hotel Chelay was very close by and proved to be ideal for the children and for ourselves for when we returned back from an evening out, we found ourselves popping in more often than not for a nightcap (or two)They made us feel so very welcome and they really could'nt do enough for us.
That was one of the nicest things we liked about our stay in Turkey, the people were genuinly very friendly and always put themselves out to talk to us and make us feel welcome.
The Villa was very well equipped and the air conditioning was wonderful although we did find that the temperture did drop slightly in the evenings and it was'nt always needed.The pool was a big hit for the children and great for just cooling down and bringing the body temperature back to normal as the mid-day sun was very very hot indeed.
John and Liz have certainly made it feel very homely and welcoming, we would definatly recommend villa Jolio to our friends.
1. Perfect Location
2. Stunning views
3. Peace and quite
4. Beautiful well equiped Villa 5. Near to amenities
6. Beautifull beaches and scenery
What more could you want ....

"This is the e-mail we received from our first Villarenters customer.As they haven't used the review system we have taken the liberty of interpreting their comments into the ratings since their review is very positive:-
Good Afternoon John
I thought I would send you my comments direct. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at your Villa .The property was beautiful and very well fitted out. We were delighted with the quality of all the extra bits that went with the Villa inside and out, the furnishings and the fixtures.
As we were the first to fully use the villa we probably got a few of the new property snags, for example the doors creaked and were extremely noisy, there was no hot water in the morning for the first week as the solar power only heated it up during the day, and on a couple of occasions we had some workman come to the villa to measure up, and there was a bit of a language barrier as to why they were there. These are issues we just lived with as, to be fair, we did speak to what I imagine was the works managers and the problems were fixed, which I am sure will not affect any future guests.
The only thing my wife did not like that much was in late afternoon there would be a couple of men come and water the garden area whilst were sitting there, my wife just felt a bit self conscious that she was lying sunbathing and from nowhere these guys would appear. If anything this is what we would like to see different in the future.
Despite this we had a wonderful holiday we enjoyed the quality of the villa, the location did not cause us any concern, neither and we did not notice any noise during the day from the hotel.
May I wish you the very best for the future with the villa and mention we would have no hesitation in recommending the villa to our friends.
Kind Regards
John & family
