Shiraz Villa(farad/kim)

You cannot go wrong with Shiraz villa, such a beautiful villa with everything you need. We've spent many holidays at this location and sept 2022 we got married in Fethiye on a yacht. Farad and Kim are amazing hosts who cannot do enough for u to ensure your stay is hassle free and relaxing. Farad knowledge of the area and all little perks are great fully received. Farad n Kim ensured my special day went stress free and was always on the end of a phone if we needed him. Chalis is such a beautiful area, local shops and plenty of activities to keep u busy. The locals look after you and everything is such good prices. Thank you so much Farad n Kim forever gratefull

Just got back from a 2 week holiday, everything regarding the villa was exceptional, the pool and garden are cleaned daily and the villa itself is great, shops a short walk away and restaurants are close by too, farad makes it all so easy by arranging the airport travel to and from the airport, really recommend this as a place to stay in turkey wouldn’t change a thing, , 10/10.

Myself and my family really enjoyed our stay at Shiraz Villa, and I would have no hesitation in recommending it. The location is really good, out of town but within walking distance of Calis Beach. The Villa is very comfortable and has a lovely outside area with a really good pool. Mehmet looks after the transfers from the airport and he is really helpful for anything else that you need. Farad and Kim make every effort to ensure that all your needs are met, and we would not hesitate to stay here again should we come back to Fethiyhe.

Our first time in a villa and to Turkey and would recommend this to anyone the pool is a very good size with nice sun loungers. villa is clean with everything you need.bedrooms are a large size and also has 4 bathrooms which is good for large families. you are a 15 minute walk from the beach and main part of calis.it costs 20 lira in taxi if don't fancy walkin. would recommend the meeting point restaurant for food go ask for George.we will be back again. Jeep safari is a must get water pistols and prepare to get wet it costs 12 pounds for the day with pick up from villa and drop back also lunch there is extra costs for national park and if you want to do zip wire 10 pounds and water tubing 10 pounds we did water tubing also recommended really enjoyed holiday

Our second visit to Shiraz Villa with a third booked for next year! This villa is perfect for us, lots of space, everything you could wish for from a home from home. All done to a very high spec and great swimming pool and outdoor space. If you do like a walk then 25 minutes to Calis front and 15 minutes up to the village, but the taxi button (yellow button on a nearby lamp post summons a taxi within a few minutes) or a bus to fethiye stopping outside, you are never far away from the action if you want it. Would I recommend this villa? I want to say NO because It's our secret, but it's truly FABULOUS and the agent and his family are always on hand should you need them.

We had 3 stunning weeks in Shiraz villa, Calis is a favourite place for us and staying in the villa just made the holiday more memorable. Location was perfect we hired bikes for our time there and cycling was great, nice flat roads and so much cooler than walking . Loved coming home in the evening and spending time in the pool. Villa very spacious and very clean, bed very comfortable pool very clean, outdoor area stunning with large barbecue with sink and dining area... great transfers lovely and peaceful in the evenings . Would have given a 10 but the koshk which is a fantastic addition to the pool area was a slight let down because, when you were in there for some very welcome shade you got covered in debris falling from the vines. Maybe some kind of solid cover to prevent this

So sad to leave Shiraz villa. Enjoyed the half term break here with my kids and we loved every minute of it. The villa is ideally located in beautiful surrounding away from the hustle of the busy town but still close to all local amenities. 10/10 for the Villa as it has everything you need. Gardens and swimming pool were always kept clean. Looking forward to another holiday here next year

STAYED 17 OF AUG 2015..Another fantastic holiday!!!!! This is our 2nd time back to the Shiraz villa and we have had an amazing time.The villa was spotlessly clean on arrival and a lovely welcome pack waiting to get us started.The pool is a great size and was a god send in the heat,will definitely return again, thanks for a great holiday

*****My best friend had the job of organising my hen party! Well I can honestly say she exceeded all expectations with booking this absolutely stunning villa! It was the best week any bride to be could ever imagine! The villa held all 8 of us comfortably! We were greeted on arrival at the airport by the organised transfer That farad had organised. Such lovely people that couldn't do enough for you! On arrival at the villa we had a superb arrival package, the villa was immaculately clean and tidy, the pool was beautiful and all of the sun loungers were placed around the pool for us. We were taken to the local supermarket to do our food shopping while the lovely lady waited for us and then took us back to the villa. Any activities we wanted to do were booked for us by farad before we went and they were all fantastic! I would recommend the jeep safari to everyone. Every evening we took a lovely walk down the sea front and enjoyed dinner by the sea! I can not fault any part of the holiday at all! It was an amazing week and I could not recommend this villa any more highly! Thank you Farad and Kim!!!

This was my second time visiting Shiraz Villa, on this occasion with my family, and again it was an absolute privilege to stay here. I would like to give my sincere thanks to Farad for all of his help - from placing the booking, to providing us with all of the information - Farad has always been extremely helpful and friendly. The Villa is superbly located a short distance from Calis with regular minbuses serving both Calis and Fethiyhe. The Villa is extremely spacious, more than comfortable for 6 of us, and very well appointed. The jewel in the crown of this property has to be the outside area - the covered seating areas, a fantastic pool, a selection of fruit trees and a well appointed BBQ area! If you haven't visited this area before there is plenty on offer - fantastic beaches, archaeological sites, boat trips, plenty of activities (paragliding, sailing etc.), traditional villages, the weekly market... I could go on. If you need any assistance while you're here Farad's agent Mehmet and his wife are a fantastic help and will ensure that you thoroughly enjoy your stay. In summary, a lovely villa in a fantastic location which I can not recommend highly enough.

Graham/Sorina, from Plymouth. A little late in reviewing but nevertheless we had a great time in Turkey. There were 7 of us staying at the villa and 2 came on a different flight but Farad made all the transfer arrangements which worked perfectly. The villa itself is at Calis Beach and out of the main town centre in a really nice quiet location. It was all (and more) that we expected, very clean with everything e needed for he holiday, a great pool (we often swam at 1am). We didn't eat dinner at the villa as there were superb restaurants in Calis Beach (Nils Bar was the best) all at a reasonable price and the food was excellent. We did have a bbq at the villa one evening which was great. Mehmet made sure everything was ok. We used a local taxi service operated by Mustapha and we used this all the time at vey reasonable cost. Also getting back from Calis Beach we used local taxis which were cheap. There is a Dolmus minibus which goes past the vila about every 15 minutes, this was incredibly cheap ad took us into Fethiye or the Kapa (Tesco) or we got dropped off and walked the last 15 mins to Calis Beach. The villa had the wow factor and I would hesitate recommending it to anyone. Farad takes the time to make sure that everything will be perfect, just tell him your requirements and leave the rest to him. This was our first time in Turkey and it won't be the last. Thanks to Farad and Kim for providing us with a great place to stay.

Rachel and Adam (Plymouth) visited the villa on 17/08/2014 The Shiraz villa is absolutely stunning!!!!set in beautiful gardens with a large pool that was a godsend in the very hot sunshine.....spotlessly clean and very well equipped we made good use of the water cooler.The villa is in a perfect location with views up to the mountains and only a short ride into Calis town which have some lovely bars and restaurants.Memet was great he picked us up from the airport and took us out for a couple of days for some sightseeing,nothing was to much trouble. Thankyou Farad and Kim for a fantastic holiday we will DEFINITELY come back again

Review from Jane and Collin (Plymouth) 22/06/2014 We visited Shiraz Villa for our second time this year, and wouldnt hesitate to return again. We have fallen in love with this Villa, as it offers so much- space, privacy, location, beautiful pool, landscaped garden and all mod cons within. Much to our delight this year we also met the resident tortoise who hides in the cactus near the front door. Transport from the villa is so easy, the dolmus runs every 20 mins and only costs 2 lira to Fethiye, there is also a taxis call button just around the corner up the road from the villa and the taxis arrives within minutes. Things we enjoyed- Tuesday market in Fethiye is a must, Paspatur / old town in Fethiye for shopping. Eating out- Address bar on Fethiye harbour and the Megre restaurant in old town. And of course endless hours in the villa swimming pool! Farad and Kims attention to detail in planning and organising their villa is first class, we would recommend this villa every time. Anyone planning a large family holiday or a first holiday abroad, you will find this easy and will very much enjoy.........! Thank you Farad and Kim

review from steve and Vee visited Shiraz Villa in May 2014 We just got back from Farad and Kims villa and we have to echo everything that has been said in all the other reviews. 10/10....!!!! Absolutely fantastic and like it was said before the photos do not do the villa justice, it surpassed all that we thought before arriving there! Farad is an absolute diamond and nothing was too much trouble. We made the point of meeting him before we went out and he is such a lovely man, so helpful and understanding. We had hired a car through Farad and this was waiting for us at Dalaman when we arrived with Burak patiently waiting with a lovely smile and personality. I managed to stupidly spend all the lira I had in my wallet on fuel to get to Fethiye not leaving myself the 3.50TL toll at the tunnel on the main road. Burak was kind enough to loan me 10TL and we were then on our way. We found Icksan patiently waiting for us at the villa, we actually passed him several times not knowing if he was our contact but it all came together in the end. The villa was opened for us and yes an absolute delight for the space and cleanliness of the property. The welcome pack was waiting with items necessary for a little sustenance which was very much appreciated. Although we arrived at the beginning of May the pool was filled and remained clean during our stay. We even ventured into it on several occasions braving the chillness of the water but it became warmer the longer we stayed into our holiday. The sun remains on the back pool area all day so there is no need to keep looking for sunshine. The patio area also has a covered area which is lovely when the sun gets too hot and for having brekfast sat out watching the herd of goats go by. Icksan arrived every morning to ensure everything was clean and tidy outside. There is wifi at the property but unfortunately wasnt working when we arrived. Not a problem...Farad arranged with his neighbour, Tony, to use his and bingo we were back in the world! I think we only saw one film while we were there as we were out all the time. The tv has satellite but most of the programs are in Turkish or from Arabia. There are a couple of film channels in English and the news, BBC/CNN/Bloomberg is presented in English too. Getting around isnt an issue. As I said we had a hire car but the Dolmus buses as mentioned before runs every 5 minutes past the villa and is only a couple of lira into town. We have been several times to Fethiye and know some good eating houses, namely Bella Mommas for evening meals and Georges for lunches in Calis. The Shanghai Blues Chinese on the main road do good food either eat in or takeaway.In Fethiye you cant beat Pashas for good traditional Turkish or the Mulberry Tree for good English brekfast. We have been to the Sat in Calis several times as its the most beautiful restaurant with prime location out over sea in the bay. However on this occasion we were quite disappointed with the service as its just changed ownership so I hope it improves. The villa has nice little quirks like a water cooler which was great and a huge safe that even Ronnie Biggs would struggle with!! The two weeks inevitably passed quickly and we were back on our way to Dalaman where Burak was waiting to take the car from us. All in all it is a beautiful villa in a beautiful location and we cannot fault it. We used to stay in a shared complex of villas for the same price but not any more, now that we know what Farad and Kims villa beholds.Thank you both for such a wonderful stay and the effort that has been made to make our stay so enjoyable. I would urge anyone to stay here you will certainly not regret it.

Would like to start by saying a big thank you to farad and kim for such a fantastic holiday this was our first time to turkey and could not have wished for a fantastic villa like shiraz villa. From start to finish the holiday is so well organised from the transfer from and to the airport to the amazing pool the fantastic welcome pack. our ages range from 18 to 72 years of age and there was plenty to do for all ages from boat trips to jeep safari to renting a yaught for the day . Regards to the villa if you did not want to leave the villa that would be fine as the villa is equipped with everything you will need .Thank you once again Yvone Debbie Josh.

A little bit late in posting the review but holiday still not been forgotten. stayed for 2wks in Aug 2010. Met at airport & taken to villa, a rep regularly making sure we were well taken care of. Transport to anywhere from just outside the villa. Twice weve been there and will go back there again as holiday was very relaxing and enjoyable. a big thankyou to Farad & kim for there hospitality and in making sure the holiday was thoroughly enjoyable.

After a long journey, we were greeted in Turkey by Mehmet who handles the transfers from the airport to the villa. He packed all of our bags, and even stopped for us to grab a kebab on the way to the villa at 2 in the morning! Arriving at the villa, the interior is very well finished, and we were immediately struck by the cleanliness. The welcome pack was superb, and enabled us to get a quick drink before hitting the comfy beds. The attention to detail is great, even down to the flowers on the bed. All the rooms are spacious and there is a bathroom for everyone. Waking in the morning to bright blue skies, the views from the veranda are impressive of baba dag mountain in the distance. The kitchen is very well equipped and enabled us to cook and barbeque as we wanted with no problem. Outside, and the garden is very well looked after, with a beautiful selec tion of flowers and plants. The patio area is well sized, and the barbeque area is well positioned, with an outside work top and sink adjacent. The pool is a good size, and was cleaned and checked daily. The raised seating area is well thought out, and allows a break in the shade from the midday sun. A nice touch is the DVD player which enabled the kids to watch a film on the day we had some rain. There are some very good restaurants in Fethiye and some good kebab restaurants in Calis. A trip into Fethiye of an evening is well worth it theres plenty to see and do. This is the 7th villa holiday we have been on, and the villa is by far the best we have stayed at. It is very well finished and furnished. Farad and Kim have done a tremendous job of setting this up, and we were very well looked after during our stay. We would highly recommend a stay at this impressive property.

Well, what can we say, this Villa is amazing, so clean and spacious. It is looked after so well and so professionally. The location is excellent and is very quiet and safe - not too far from the night life and restaurants and the sea. We had great support from Jamie and Memhet and enjoyed the excursions we booked. The pool is so clean - infact every thing is and we did not want for anything. We felt the photos did not do it justice - defiantely recommend it to friends and we plan to visit again. We were more than well looked after. All in all 10 out of 10 Well done Farad and Kim !!!!!

I want to start by saying wow what a great Villa and a great service. Professionaly organised and i was kept up to date stage by stage of the Booking process. Transfer to and from the Villa was also organised by the Villa for the little extra cost. We were well looked after during our visit to Calis, with two reps visiting us everyday asking and arranging any trips or activities we required. So would like to say a special thanks to jamie and mehmet. The villa was absolutely amazing with a wonderful interior and a welcoming atmosphere. The Photos on the website do not do justice. It was definately value for money and exceeded out exoectations. I have already reccomended the villa to family and friends and will hpoefully be booking soon again. Once again a great service, Thank you. The khans + 1 Zeb

Fantastic villa exceeded our ecxpectations . This villa has everything you would need for a great holiday in a villa, the pool is fantastic and the villa has so much space , The area is so beautiful and the locals are so friendly . What more can i say you must visit calis and shiraz villa it is wonderful Thank you

We returned from Shiraz Villa at the beginning of July and had a superb holiday. The villa was pure quality and exceeded every expectation possible. The service received from Farad and his agents was outstanding and you would not meet more friendly people anywhere. It was great to enjoy a quiet location of the Villa, but everything else was just minutes away, it was superb. The Villas pool was the perfect size and the pool/bbq area was cleaned every day, the gardens/flowers watered, eveything was immaculate and faultless. We would definitely return and would recommend without a doubt. Once again, we would just like to thank Farad and his agents for a true professional service which has not yet been experienced in any other part of the world.

Shiraz Villa was fantastic. The villa was very welcoming after sitting on a plane for 4 hrs. It was very clean and felt like home. The pool area was absolutely lovely, spent many hours out there in the sunshine with a good book! Many thanks to Farad and his family for letting us into his turkish home, we all fell in love with Turkey and will definately be back!

Shiraz Villa was all we expected. Immaculately clean and very well equipped. The agent was extremely helpful and gave us lots of information on the local area. There was lots of excursions available so there is plenty to do. We enjoyed many meals at the villa and also in the surrounding towns. The weather was very good, we will definitely book with Farad again.

Shiraz Villa is the ultimate place to relax. Ive recently come back from my second stay at the villa and was pleasantly surprised by the new addition to the garden a traditional Turkish decked area offering cushions and shade. Ideal for enjoying a cold Efes after a dip in the pool. The villa itself was clean, tidy and very spacious. The welcome pack includes information about all the local excursions, restaurants, travel options, and numbers to call if you need anything. The kitchen was also stocked with the basics such as bread and butter, which was handy after a late flight in. The surrounding area is fantastic. All the surrounding towns offer good food. Calis has everything but its defiantly worth travelling over to fethiye in the evening to explore the shops. Oludeniz is the best beach ive ever seen and has plenty of water sports on offer. Kayakoy and Sakikent are also fantastic. There is so much to see and do, however I could not resist a couple of days at Villa itself. Perfect

Shiraz Villa was all we expected. Immaculatley clean and logically laid out. It took a couple of days to find our feet however the agent was extremley helpful. We enjoyed living amongst the locals, who were very friendly. We enjoyed many meals on the sea front at Chalis and seen some amazing sunsets. The weather was fab apart from an unexpected hail storm. Will definatley vist again in a couple of years.

"We thought that Shiraz Villa was located in a beautiful part of Calis and had everything to offer for a perfectly relaxing holiday. The villa had every type of convenience imaginable along with a great size swimming pool and terraces to soak up the sun. Plenty of shade for those who are not sun worshipers. We loved Turkey and would definately return again. The poeple were very friendly and welcoming. What more can I say, other than book your next your next holiday to Turkey."(Nov 2007)

A great holiday, villa is in a good location, easy access to the beach and town. Villa is well equipped with a good sized pool. Would definately return and recommend to others.

"The villa sleeps many and as we just paid the price for the villa and not per head makes the possibility of having a cheap holiday likely. Amenities for the villa are very personalised. overall a very enjoyable experience and one that we will definetly be sharing again. Thanx"
