Villa: Private Pool, gated gdn, forest views, 6 minutes to beach, cafe, s'mkts

It was a delight to host your lovely family, Kimberley! Thank you for your 5-star review - I look forward to hosting you again next year!

It was a pleasure to host you, Colin. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at my lovely Villa Loumar and the beautiful environment around it. It's close to the beach and around the corner from a large supermarket as well as within easy reach of Calis with its beach, prom, shops and restaurants. I hope you'll come again next year!

It was a pleasure to host you and your family, Jill. So glad you enjoyed your holiday at my lovely Villa Loumar - especially the outside space and pool. I hope you come again!

You and your family were 5-star guests, Gail and I'm delighted that you had a great 4 weeks in our lovely Villa Loumar. I always listen to guests' comments with the aim of making the villa an ideal place to stay for a comfortable and pleasurable holiday e.g. just before your family came, I had a hand-painted bamboo wall constructed to add more privacy to the pool and terrace that is opposite the forest. I do hope you come next year and look forward to welcoming you back!

I am disappointed that you felt this way, Edward - especially as the villa's location was very clearly described e.g. within a 10 minute walk to the local Surf Beach, a 10 minute bus ride to the busier Calis Beach. It is most unfortunate that VRBO put the pin in the wrong place (they put it in a built-up area, much further from the beach where holiday makers usually want to go). This has not come up until now and has gone unnoticed! I have, of course, asked VRBO to correct their mistake, especially as the villa's actual location is much more convenient for most holiday makers than where the pin was wrongly placed. I am also surprised that you feel the villa could be updated as it is well maintained by Rainbow Property care and I take much pride in all aspects - e.g. I put in new terrace and lounge furniture last year, added additional fencing to ensure complete privacy and hand-painted a beautiful mural on the bamboo fencing around the pool (as I am a professional artist), added some shelving in the bedrooms so visitors could more easily charge their devices, and had various areas painted. I do hope you find your ideal villa when you next visit this lovely area.

I'm glad you and Teresa enjoyed your holiday and found the house, garden and pool "very fine"- and that my agent, Rainbow, was so "quick and helpful in solving any little issues". Sorry to hear about the lorries going by - I'm unaware where they are heading. The road is normally quiet for long periods. A good idea re streaming (thanks!): I've now replaced that TV with a new smart Samsung TV for future guests so thanks! I've supplied loads of holiday reading with paperbacks in various languages, mainly English, and also great DVDs but streaming is a better option nowadays of course.

Steve, thank you for your 5 star review! You said so kindly 'lovely place, lovely holiday'. I am so happy you and your family had such a great time at my Villa Loumar. I can only respond 'lovely guests'! I hope to welcome your family back next year! Marcia

Here is the English translation of Mahi's review: Overall it was a really good stay with helpful staff. Especially the pool man was helpful with everything and right away. The house was as advertised super good, nice home for a family who wants to enjoy peace. However, there is a lot of traffic by the pool side. It would be a good idea to have a car available. We thank you for a wonderful stay. ----- Dear Mahi and family I am delighted that you had a wonderful stay. Regarding the traffic, you came at the busyest time of the year, the Turkish Bayram festival when 140,000 extra people came to Fethiye! There are normally some cars going past the villa but most people don't find it much of a problem as it is not a main road and the pool area is shielded by a painted bamboo fence, making it private. Hiring a car is no problem - and we can arrange that if required. The local dolmuses (small buses) are very frequent and the nearest beach is less than 10 minutes walk from the villa. We hope you'll return next year and without the festival traffic, give us a 5-star review! Marcia

Hello Maren and Peter I am delighted that you enjoyed your holiday so much staying in Villa Loumar. Thank you for giving it a 5-star review. I am always looking to update the villa to make it a lovely place to stay. Since your visit, I have now put in not only new lounge furniture but also new furniture for the terrace. I'm glad you were looked after so well by out agents, Matt and Monica from Rainbow Property Care. We will all be delighted to welcome you back on your next visit! Marcia Kuperberg (owner)

Dear Maren Thank you for your kind review where you listed only lovely, positive comments (really worthy of 5 stars like all our other reviews!). The English translation of your comments are: Very nice and centrally located house This house is very spacious and clean. There is a lot of importance on safety. The pool is clean and invites you to cool down. The house is located in a residential area and is therefore very quiet. You can really relax. The centre of Calis can be reached by car in a few minutes. The beach can even be reached on foot in a few minutes. The beach is rocky, bathing shoes are recommended. The price / performance ratio is good. We hope you come again next year to enjoy another lovely, relaxing holiday like this one.

So glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay at our lovely Villa Loumar! You are right, the area near the villa is beautiful- right opposite the forest and surrounded by mountains, yet only a few minutes walk to the beach - lively areas just a short Dolmus ride away. We love it. Thank you for your 5-stars! We hope you’ll come again next year. Marcia

Hi Denise and family, Thank you for your lovely 5-star review! You were 5-star guests and we are delighted that you had a great holiday in our beautiful villa. We hope you'll come again next year! Very best wishes, Marcia and Lou

We are so glad you and your family enjoyed our lovely villa so much. We are aware that you came all the way from Australia! We take pride in providing those little extras that we think our guests will enjoy - e.g. the hot and iced water dispenser in the kitchen, wi-fi throughout, hot and cold shower outside on the terrace by the pool. We are also delighted that our property management company who organised your transport to and from the airport asked them to pop in to see you personally when your phone was not working. That is typical of them. Being on the spot, they are reliable - fast responding and personable, which is reassuring for us as well as our guests. We look forward to welcoming you (and friends and relatives) back to our villa in the future for other great holidays!

We love our villa, so it gives us great pleasure to know that another family has also enjoyed a holiday there. We're always aiming to improve so every time we go, we try to add something to make a better experience. Most recently (last May), we added more original paintings, a hand-painted mural over the fireplace, and four beanbag chairs to match the outdoor furniture. Thank you, Nick and Michele, for your lovely review - we hope you will come again soon!
