An unforgettable view from every window of a one of a kind home...

We had the pleasure of enjoying this home for a week. It took us a day in town to realise that this house provided everything we needed for a relaxing week. There was a market an easy walk away and if you are up for a challenge, there is another one a little farther with more to offer. If a car isn't available I noticed yellow buttons on the light posts that would call a taxi from that point. The manager answered all of my calls without delay. The house has plenty of room for a large family. The top floor was the perfect hangout for my girls and conveniently had a nice bathroom there too. The mid floor had two master bedrooms with their own private baths and lovely cabinets. In the hall there is a lovely bookcase full of great reads and downstairs there was a lovely selection of books on the area, brochures and games. The seating area was comfy and the air conditioning really does cool the house down in minutes. The pools were lovely as was the amazing patio and the çardak. Waking up to the view and going to sleep to the stunning city lights...those memories will delight me and probably call to me forever.
Thank you , Neşe O.

Super villa, good value, great location, views and lovely town.

Swallow's Rest is a lovely villa, located in the Kisla area of Kalkan. This was our fourth time in Kalkan, and the best villa we have stayed in. I think Kisla is also the best area to stay. Views are great and the villa has lovely separate areas, which suited our family - by the pool, out on the terrace by the pagoda, in the small lawned garden or on the balcony (where we also BBQ'd once or twice) facing the beautiful bay. Three bedrooms, all large and en suite, plus another wet-room downstairs. Very well equipped and maintained, and a short walk down to the beach club, where we had an evening drink before catching the water taxi across to the harbour to eat. Did not have a bad meal in any restaurant, but Salt'n'Pepper won the family vote for the last night return visit. Best day out was without question a day on 'The Anil' boat with Ali - book in the harbour or in advance from the UK to be sure of getting a day. Karen was very helpful with the booking, and all the whole experience of Swallow's Rest was great. We'll be back!

A beautiful villa
We were lucky enough to stay at Swallows Rest in August. The property has outstanding views across the bay to central Kalkan. The villa is in Kisla, about a 5 min (£3-4) taxi ride into the heart of Kalkan. The photos don't do this justice - it is spacious (4 floors) with magical views. It's an older style property that we immediately felt relaxed in (previous Kalkan villas we've stayed in have been pristine/sterile) The owner Karen was wonderful. Thank you!


Having been to Kalkan since 2009, Covid excepted, I can honestly say this has been the best place to stay since first visiting.

The villa is superb. Exceptionally equipped, we especially loved the open planned living.

The bedrooms are great with plenty of storage and individual bathrooms.

The best were the dual pools and kosk areas. A deep pool for swimming and a smaller plunge pool, with umbrella, were perfect. The kosk was amazing. You can fall asleep with the curtains closed, and a lovely breeze blowing through.

All in all, if Carlsberg done villas, this is probably one of the best in Kişla and Kalkan.
