CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Elizabeth from London, England (Submitted: 25/06/2006)
"Villa Selim has exeeded any expectations we could possibly have had. It was immaculately clean, the decor was very modern. Everything you could possibly wish for was in with the price including washing machine which meant we only had to take one weeks clothing for a fortnight which we washed as we needed saving having to take cases and cases. Air conditioning in every room was a welcome luxury all in with the price. The swimming pool looking over the Rabbit Island on the Aegean Sea was very clean and safe. We would not hesitate to go again, in fact we are thinking of booking for next year before everyone else beats us to it. We would give this villa and service a five star rating without any hesitation. Made this one of the best holidays we have had. A huge thank you."
Cynthia from Isle of Man (Submitted: 24/06/2006)
"Dear Mr. Ileri, Thank you for all of your help. My husband and I quite enjoyed ourselves. Even though you live in the USA, you were always in touch with almost every other day. We are very thankful for that, and all the help you and the property manager provided to us. The villa was what we had envisaged, and it was very well furnished with a nice touch. We found the villa very clean and well put together. I loved the quality of your bed linens, towels, and all the accessosires the villa had. People in the town of Gundogan are very friendly. We met many local Turkish people, and learned a few words. We hope to remember them for our next trip. When combined with the remarkable exchange rate of GBP into YTL, we felt like we were really rich. We had great food at the local restaurants, and we ordered local Turkish food as you explained, and the people are very timely and the taste of the food is very delicious. I wish I could live there. It's hard to think of a better and more relaxed place for a family holiday. The pool was a nice stopping off point for the walk home. The area has very nice beaches with good access to the sea without a significant amount of people. We expecially enjoyed the terrace in the morning."
Jennifer from Dublin, Ireland (Submitted: 31/05/2006)
"Absolutely stunning views from Villa Selim. Great value for money, fantastic amenities. My children really enjoyed this holiday, could not get them to leave the amazing pool overlooking the Aegean Sea. Both the owner in the USA and the property manager in Turkey could not have been more helpful. My family and I 100% recommend Villa Selim to anyone. I already made arrangemet to stay there in August for two weeks."
Margareth from Montreal, Canada (Submitted: 07/05/2006)
"Villa Selim is located very strategically where everything is in close promixity. Villa Selim has met all the needs of my family (husband and 3 kids) and I. The layout of the property was fantastic and the facilities provided by the owners were excellent. The views from the 2 terraces where breathtaking, looking out over the bay of Gundogan was a wonderful way to start and end each day. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a relaxing enjoyable holiday."
Sophie from York, England (Submitted: 04/16/2006)
"The villa is perfectly situated to allow privacy from neighbors and gorgeous views. All the bedrooms are comfortable and well put together. Best of all is the huge outdoor terrace. We spent a lot of relating evenings outdoors. Gundogan village and Yalikavak village are quiet and maintain the charm of Turkish tradition. I strongly recommend men visit a local Barber for a shave - it's unforgettable! And finally – Levent (the owner of the property) is very kind and helpful. He took care about us during our vacation and helped us with many logistics. I think this property, Villa Selim, is one of the best ways to spend a holiday on the Bodrum peninsula!"
Josephine from Paris, France (Submitted: 04/05/2006)
"The property is in a beautiful position, with a terrific view from the patio. We really enjoyed the sunrise every morning, and the share of cool afternoon. The villa itself was very well equipped (the best we've ever experienced) and very comfortable. We also appreciated the care of the owners beforehand and after. They were keen to ensure that we had a good holiday and were extremely helpful in giving guidance and advice about the villa and surroundings, including car hire and local contact information, before we went to Turkey. The owner sent us an information resource package with all the necessary information we needed, and a DVD. The DVD was created very professionally. While we were at the Villa, we were provided professional guidance by the property manager, Murat, who speaks excellent English and Turkish. Over all we had a wonderful holiday, and have already recommended the villa and the Villarenters’ service to many friends."
Lee from Washington, DC USA (Submitted: 19/04/2006)
"I would say that this villa exceeded our expectations! Luxuriously furnished, in very comfortable surroundings. VERY close to the lovely beach in the village of Gundogan. Villa Selim was kept clean with maid service every other day - clean sheets, towels etc. This is our piece of heaven on earth and would definitely go again!. "
