High spec, beautiful location, a perfect villa.

7 of us stayed at this lovely villa for a week in August 2009. The villa is built to a very high spec with travetine floors and granite kitchen, excellent bathrooms and extremely comfortably furnished. Everything has been thought out carefully. The views are stunning from EVERY bedroom. Picture an Italian lakeside view, that's it, but only a minute's walk from a wonderful swimming platform and welcoming hotel bar with free sunbathing deck, beanbags, sunbeds and wonderful cocktails. The garden is much more mature than on this photo, stunning, and the garden is screened from the neighbouring villa. The owner is delightful and we would return in a heartbeat.

Our holiday was absolutely wonderful. The villa looked fantastic from the photos but in reality it was even more special. Everything is provided which you could possibly need and to an excellent standard. For working parents who want luxury, beautiful views and pure relaxation, you have just hit the jackpot! There are lots of sun shades, beds to lie on and admire the view, a fully fitted kitchen with every piece of equipment you could need and a large bar-b-que. In the evening, we cooked on the bar-b- que and watched the sun setting and dinking wine.Heaven! Our children (aged 7 and 13) spent hours playing in the fab infinity swimming pool in constant sunshine. During the day we walked to the sea and went snorkelling which was really clear and so warm! The kids loved doing this and we found pipe fish, families of squid and lots of brightly coloured fish. Terry made everything stress-free by organising our transport from the airport and a car for the two weeks. Ahan greeted us with a welcome pack and brought us fresh bread every day. It was great to know we had someone local to help direct us with what ever we needed. We will certainly be returning and cannot recommend this villa to you highly enough. Thank you Terry for making it a perfect family holiday.

Fantastic week at Villa Mimosa

Review Submitted: October 4, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We have just returned from a fantastic week at Villa Mimosa. The villa is gorgeous, spacious, with beautiful furnishings, and very relaxing. The 'welcome' pack of food provided when we arrived was very welcome, as our flight was delayed. The little touches in the villa were unexpected (like a torch, umbrella, luggage scales!) but very useful. There was plenty of information about the area, and Terry (the owner) also provided lots of information and recommendations before we went, so that we could make the most of our week there. The pool has sun all day, and the poolside barbecue and eating area was used on a number of evenings. The local restaurant, Acropol, was a favourite of ours, and there are plenty of lovely places to eat in Kas. Kas is very pretty, as is Kalkan, and we were able to get around easily with the hire car. We also had a great day out on a boat trip to the sunken city, with lots of stops for swimming in the sea. There was lots more we could have done if we had more time (diving, trekking, paragliding), so we will definitely be going back again to Villa Mimosa.

Our holiday exceeded all expectations!

Review Submitted: October 3, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The villa is such a pleasure to stay in- beautifully designed and surrounded by a lovely garden, scented and blossoming. There are many places to sit to enjoy the astonishing views and the most super infinity swimming pool to lie in and watch passing yachts.  All details of the villa were accurate and everything well looked after.We would without doubt recommend this property.Kas is a wonderful place - we loved the Friday market, the variety of excellent value restaurants serving delicious fresh food, the amphitheatre and of course, the shopping!!But very locally to the villa too, we found an array of good places to walk to to eat.The trip to Meis was memorable when by chance we swam with a turtle! We also loved hiring a boat from Ucagiz and swimming in the turquoise sea. Really all a huge success and with 4 teenagers in the party everyone was happy - what an achievement!!

Review Submitted: October 3, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We arrived late in the evening,we could see the villa lived up to all our expectations but had no idea what we were going to wake up to the next morning.
Well we most certainly weren't disappointed.The view was breathtaking and the infinity pool was just fantastic, many happy hours were spent hanging over the edge putting the world to rights.
Ayhan, who looks after he property, was so unobtrusive but very helpful, nothing was too much trouble and it was all done with the biggest of smiles.
The Villa has been beautifully finished with every small need catered for and I would most definately recommend it to my family and friends.
Thank you Terry for providing us with such a stunning place for our holiday and all your care and attention during the booking process

Hard to tear yourself away from!

Review Submitted: September 30, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Everything about this villa is pleasant, good quality, well looked-after, and uplifting. Outside Kas, on the end of a flower-filled peninsula, it looks out over a beautiful view of the sea, enhanced by its own infinity swimming pool.

The few surrounding hotels are quiet and friendly; there's easy access to the sea/swimming at the bottom of the path; and the area is peaceful. It's best to have a car, as it's not easily walkable to Kas - although there are taxis too.

The villa itself is surrounded by jasmine and tropical flowers. The rooms are spacious, with big windows & views, nice furnishings and impressive bathrooms. (The downstairs room, though, has its own separate entrance by the pool and is less connected to the main house - not suitable for children). There are airy balconies and all the mod cons you could need. I'd better mention that the villa is in a line of three - and feels very private - but you may see the people next door on their balcony.

The pool is lovely and comes with sun loungers, dining table outside and a barbecue. It is all lit-up at night and very elegant. If you need anything else, the caretaker is 5 minutes away and always willingly on hand if you call him. The villa is well cared-for and very clean.

We didn't eat in restaurants because the house was so nice, but there are plenty of enticing places in Kas. There's lots of atmosphere and lovely little shops - including some irresistible carpet ones. (Prices not too expensive).

We loved Kaputas beach, near Kalkan, and the latter is good for more shops, some nightlife and nice restaurants by the marina. If you like history, you can go to Demre (tombs), Xanthos (big capital of Lycian civilization), or the sweet little village of Ucagiz. Here you must take a quick boat tour to see the sunken ruins - and the quaint fishing village (Simena) that can't be reached by land. Incidentally, Pamukkale would be a much longer trip (there are tours from Kas involving staying the night) but this white, surreal landscape of calcium pools on a cliff - topped by the ancient city of Hieropolis on the summit - is the sight of a lifetime.

All in all, I'd recommend Villa Mimosa wholeheartedly. My husband won't go anywhere twice - as he likes novelty - but we've been there two years running!
