| "We wanted something special this year, we certainly found it, Dalyan is a magical place and in the words of the locals " it has it all ".
The villa is very well appointed and ideally situated just on the outskirts of the town.
There was 6 of us in our party and we had plenty of space both inside and out.
The managment company were very helpful and the tranfer was prompt on both legs of the journey. Many thanks for a very memorable time"

| "Overall the Villa lived up to, and in many ways surpassed, expectations, providing the family with a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.
A big plus for us as a 3-generation family of grandparents, children and grandchildren was the fact that the pool is viewed from every bedroom, balcony and the kitchen/diner so very easy to keep an eye on the youngsters playing. Well done Paul and Alison for choosing a fabulous colonial design - nosing around some of the other villas in the locality(!), we thought this design was by far the best for families.
The villa is in a super location, play area nearby, super new bakery, restaurants and the town all within easy walking distance but one should be aware that some of the bars play music until 2.00am on the weekends which can be heard from the villa. For us as a family though, this only added to the holiday atmosphere that is Dalyan - a beautiful little gem of a place, safe, friendly and relaxing ..... go on, try it for yourselves ..... and we will return!

| "our first impressions of the villa were fabulous, grand, very impressive and beautiful. From there the holiday just got better. The view over looking the rock tombs were dramatic and breath taking. The villa was very spacious, very clean and well decorated. all appliances were in excellent working order.
The gardens were well looked after and the pool although pretty cold was a great addition to our holiday as there was allways some one in it.
I would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful villa to friends, family and others who wanted something different and special.
The rep who looked after us was very pleasant, helpful and informative. All our excursions were booked through him. As we were a large party we could also haggle a better price with him, although the prices for the excursions were very reasonable to start with.
for the adrenaline junkies: He organized white water rafting which i would recommend for those who want excitment, an adrenaline rush and to be surrounded by beautiful wilderness. An amazing experience.
To relax: the thermal springs and mudbaths boat trip ( although prepare for the smell of the sulphur).
Turtle beach: quiet and relaxing beach with a memorable sunset.
The small fishing town of Dalyan has a very relaxed vibe, the people are wonderful, pleasant, funny, friendly and warm. We felt that we were family after a few days.
We went as a party of 14, all ages ranging from 1yr, 3yr, 5yr, 7yr, 17yrs - 19years, 27-35yrs, 40yrs, 64-65yr olds. We all had an exceptional, fun & relaxing time.
We would and want to go again it was that good

| "Our flights were booked with XL who went under 3 days before we were due to travel. We were lucky enough to secure more flights but to Antalya airport 4 hours away, a stressful couple of days. However, Paul Osbourne and Oruc were fantastic in putting our minds at ease and arranging transfers at 4am from Antalya airport. When we arrived at the villa all our worries and stress vanished instantly.
The villa is beautiful and spacious with full amenities and luxuries. Lovely views, lovely restaurants, lovely people, lovely diamonds (my fiance can confirm), lovely river cruises i could go on and on. My family of 8 and myself had an amazing time and my fiance and I maybe coming back to Dalyan to get married, i hope.
Go to Aksoy gold and diamonds and ask for Omar. Go to Alis across from Aksoy for a good time and ask for Sexy Jimmy!!!
The Riverside Restaurant was the best in town, value for money, great food and service, with outstanding views of the rock tombs.
Thanks again to everyone who made our holiday perfect.
5 star+ we loved it."

| "The villa was everything and more than we expected. It was extremely comfortable, excellently equiped and just as describe on the website.
As there were two families sharing the villa we asked if it would be possible for a second front door key, we were assured this would be delivered later in the day, it never arrived even though we asked about four time. Also we were unable to set the burglar alarm as we did not have code - again we asked a number of times but still waiting!!
When we asked the two youngest members of our party was there anything the villa lacked - they first said no, then changed their minds and said a bird bath, they were concern that the birds had to drink from the chlorine pool - we did assure them that they were looking very healthy on it!
A fab holiday was had by everyone in our party - thank you."

"The only issue we have had is that since returning home we have been told that the inspection on leaving the property had discovered some breakages that we had not done, this was not done at the time of leaving so could not discuss it at the time."
Owner reply:
:
Many thanks Julian for giving Zeytin Koru an Excellent 5 star rating we are so please that you all enjoyed your stay.
We are sorry that you dissagreed with the breakage report but the deposit terms are in our agreement. The villa is large and practicle steps have to be taken to ensure that the high standard of accommodation is maintained for all our incoming guests.
All rooms need to be vacated by 10am in order for our English representatve to complete the first of 2 checks. Any damage can be restored or replaced where possible before the next arrivals. The maids clean and prepare and the next check is completed.
Kind regards
Alison & Paul

| "We had a most relaxing week in Villa Zeytin Koru. The weather was wonderful, very warm and sunny every day, and the drive from the airport was lovely with incredible scenery. The owners were terrific and could not have been more helpful and their local agents, Oruc, delightful. The splendid villa was luxuriously comfortable, bright and exceptionally well equipped and we very much liked its superb pool. The food pack on arrival was much appreciated.
The villa is in a wonderful location, amazingly quiet, private and peaceful and yet just behind the Dalyan main street with all of the interesting side streets, shops and the river. It was great to have a bottle of wine out and no car driving to worry about. We loved the bats, swallows and doves in the garden and were much amused by the visiting chickens. The local people have been a sheer delight, charming and helpful.
Our only comment would be that it would have helped to know that all of the bathrooms are shower rooms and there is no bath in the villa.
Villa Zeytin Koru is a magical place and we are very much looking forward to going again.

We all enjoyed our time at the villa, plenty of room for all. The pool was only for the brave as it was cold, we only managed to get in once, but it was October. There are so many places to eat and drink its impossible to remember them all, you wanted for nothing. The views from the villa and surrounding area are superb, such a relaxing place in one of the best locations just around the corner from everything, keeping it quite private. One of our party is hoping to go back in 2 years time with their family for several of their Birthdays. Would recomend it to anyone, young and old and mixed groups, excellent."

| "when we booked online we were impressed by the overall look of the villa, we knew that the location was beautiful as we had been 3 times before, but when we arrived it is fair to say we were overwhelmed by the outstanding villa and perfectly kept gardens, the swimming pool is clear clean and warm (we went in late sept) inside the decor can only be described as luxury, beautiful tiled on-suite bathrooms all with showers with endless supply of hot water, soft beds with crisp linnen, and plump pillows.
the lounge was accesed via a marble stair case opening into a large well lit room with french doors leading onto a large colonial style balcony, over-looking the pool, gardens, and accross the river to the rock tombs. I cannot recommend this villa high enough, as my 4 yr grandaughter said " grandad this is a castle for a princess""

WE HAD NEVER SEEN SO MANY MEN TURN UP WITH LAWN MOWERS TO CUT THE GRASS THEY HAD THE GARDEN FINISHED IN 5 MINUTES.
THE POOL MAN CAME TWICE A DAY. THE MAIDS WERE REALLY NICE AND MADE SWANS OUT OF TOWELS WITH FLOWERS SCATTERED OVER THEM.
DALYAN IT SELF AND THE LOCALS WERE LOVELY. WILL DEFINITLEY RETURN.

"Beautiful looking villa and pool very near to centre of village. All fittings and furniture first class. Lots of lovely hot water from boiler in utility room -unusual for most villas in Turkey dependent on solar power. Very well stocked in kitchen and utility areas with quality equipment. Beds very comfortable and linen and towels to a good standard. The pool was cleaned every day and lit up in the evening was very attractive. We enjoyed our stay here very much and would like to return. Only downside was poor practically non-exsistent service from local agent so had some initial problems with sorting out how to use electrical equipment. Would recommend without hesitatation."
Owner reply:
:
Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Your comments will be fed back to our representative in Dalyan to make sure that our guests are handed our personal 'Welcome File', which covers electrical equipment. Thanks for your last minute booking and we hope that you do return. Alison & Paul Osborn

| "This is a fantastic villa with a very high speciation. We were a party of 12 - mostly family and a few friends. The villa was more than able to accommodate such a large party in absolute comfort.
The equipment supplied was of a good standard and the pool proved to be a welcome escape from the mid-day sun.
All in all the villa is perfect, close to the town but not too close, very well equipped and during our two week stay we were looked after by various parties, the pool cleaned every day, the garden tendered everyday and the cleaning staff once a week.
I would unreservedly recommend this villa to anyone and hope to book again for next year.
Thank you Paul and Alison, the villa is a real credit to you.

| " The villa was wonderful and the staff from Oruc were very professional and courteous. The setting is marvelous and very relaxing. We had a fantastic holiday and didn't find the mosquitoes too disturbing. One comment I would make is I found it strange that the cleaning staff did the ironing in the living room particularly as it took more than an hour. "

"Many thanks for the use of your fabulous villa last week.
You always expect to turn up at your holiday destination to find something that disappoints but Zeytin Koru was exactly as you had pictured and described it and we had a great weeks holiday.
Having been to Dalyan before we had done most of the tourist trips etc and had gone to simply wind down and relax. The villa was beautifully furnished and was well provided with everything we could possibly need to make our stay comfortable.
From looking around you can be justly proud of what must be one of the best villas in Dalyan in one of the best positions.
If you bought the property as an investment then we are certain that your investment was sound and we found nothing to compare. As you are aware, there are any number of agents keen to persuade you to invest but staying in Zeytin Koru thoroughly spoiled us.
Thank you again. We are recommending you to all of our friends and certainly hope to return ourselves.
Regards
Chris & Jacqui

"Just thought I'd email you quickly to say that Pete and I had a fantastic time at the villa last week. Ellen had emailed me the website so we could check it out before we arrived, but it far outweighed what we expected when we arrived.
The villa and its amenities are fantastic. Having that huge fridge is a must considering how hot it gets-although the boys managed to fill it with beer from day 1! The pool was a godsend as it was so hot there during the afternoon. We had a couple of barbies which was also nice - just chilling in the evening heat. We only really ventured out twice in the week as the villa was just ideal to relax and chill out. We managed to make it to the beach once! and to the lake and the springs/ mud baths - how lazy were we! Dalyan itself was so friendly and relaxed.
We've already decided we have to go back next year - possibly with Mr and Mrs Bryan! later on in the year - so we shall be in touch no doubt.
I should also just say quickly thanks very much for the "last minute deal" on the price we paid
Steph and Pete

"We had a great time and the villa, the pool and the surroundings were brilliant!
I have had many villa holidays over the years but this was easily the best.
The villa was very well equipped and the wine on our arrival was most appreciated.
Altogether we had 11 people in our party which consisted of my wife and myself plus our seven children and my to older daughters boyfriends.
Everyone has said what a really great time we had both at the villa and in and about Dalyan.
The people where so friendly and really made us all feel very welcome.
The boys got involved in the local football matches through some of the waiters and were also shown how to fish the river.
The only bad point in our holiday was having to come home!
Regards,
Martin & Alison Jacks"
