Villa Louise guest book entry- June 2010
Hi Bryden & Louise,
I’ve finally got a spare 10 minutes to write to you properly just to thank you for the opportunity to stay at your beautiful villa. All our party are unanimous is saying it is one of the best ever holidays if not THE best. As we were such a diverse age range I think this was a feat in itself (ha ha).
Obviously because your pre-holiday pack and communications are so very good you already feel you know exactly what you are getting but it doesn’t fail in any way to live up to your expectations. Stunning setting and such a nice couple Richard & Kym on hand to greet you. I am a fairly seasoned traveller to Turkey but still appreciated this touch and they couldn’t do enough to welcome you and explain all the fixtures and fittings etc and to even have a jug of cool water in the fridge which was much appreciated. This personal level of service extended throughout the holiday and although we didn’t have to ring them other than once it was reassuring to know someone with local knowledge was available seemingly 24/7.
The patio was a huge hit with our 2 older ladies as it is so much cooler under there and when the afternoon breeze gets up it was just right for them. We were v lucky with the weather although there was a mini heat wave for a couple of days getting up to 44degrees which the locals told us is more August weather.
Although we didn’t do many trips this time I can definitely recommend Ozalp Tourism. We had used the public boat up to the beach to test the water (pun) with Benjamin but as expected he wont stay still at the moment and so we felt a little unsafe letting him on any longer boat trips. Our 2 old dears however did charter a boat for an 1/2 day excursion and gave it top marks. We all went on the trip to Fetihe Market with stops at the ‘Ghost’ town and Olu Doniz as well as the Gold Centre and Turkish delight factory. Apart from not finding the villa and me having to ring Dale it all went smoothly and the guides were very funny and informative of the local area and customs. Afterwards we again couldn’t pass their shop without kisses and handshakes all around with Benjamin again treated like a prince (better hope his blue eyes never fade or his blonde hair darken – ha ha)
Overall I commend you for the beautiful design of the villa and I notice the construction company used it on a half page advert in the Dalyan Times so they must also highly rate it (ha ha). It has been an absolute dream to deal with you both and also Richard & Kym and so good to see 2 such nice young couples doing so well for themselves.
All our very best wishes and speak again soon
Peter, Sharon, Shirley, Betty and the little star aka Benjamin
