| Message: | 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 |

| Message: | Having seen the photos of Villa Louise before my holiday I was so looking forward to staying there. On arrival I was delighted that the villa was even more beautiful in reality. We wanted for nothing and I felt that Bryden and Louise had carefully planned for their guests to have a relaxing stay with lots of information offered to get the best out of the surrounding area. I particularly enjoyed relaxing by (and in) the pool, and terrace, various times of the day and not to mention the midnight swims. The Villa is in a quiet location, the garden has fruit trees and Mediterranean plants and the surrounding hills give a sense of seclusion and calm. We walked into Dalyan several times and generally had a full day, again height of relaxation walking by the river and taking trips out on the river taxi.(we booked as recommended by Bryden and had the boat to ourselves. one word FABULOUS ! often returning by taxi albeit a brief drive. Do not miss the visit to Iz Dalyan. Homemade muffins,sponges to die for. It was a pleasure to visit the local shops without being pestered as had happened to me on trips to other areas in Turkey. The locals were so friendly as were the market traders where we enjoyed freshly made spinach/cheese pancakes. We discovered that there were local belly dancing classes, (and yoga)which had to be tried and tested and thoroughly enjoyed. Bryden and Louise's eating out recommendations were spot on. Its difficult to say no to seconds ! The one part of the holiday that I didn't enjoy was having to leave and needless to say I cant wait to return. Well done Bryden and Louise for finding such a beautiful place and making it extra special. |

| Message: | When one goes to a holiday villa one is cautious as to how it will be. Well after my second visit to Villa Louise, it has again surpassed my expectations of what a holiday villa should give you. The villa is certainly 5 star+ quality, spacious, very well maintained, extremely comfortable beds, and beautifully designed inside and out. Whether you are lying by the pool watching the warm breeze wafting the leaves of the banana trees, or strolling into town for lunch or dinner at one of the many superb café's and restaurants,(not forgetting of course the wide range of shopping experience)Dalyan always has something to offer the discerning traveller. OOOHHH and the beach--mmm what could you say about turtle beach and the boat ride along the winding river past the ancient ruins high in the cliff side- you have to see it to believe how beautiful it all is. The local people are friendly, very helpful,prices are not expensive compared to other larger Turkish resorts, they come running after you when you have mistakenly paid too much for your bill... and like to take the time to chat or tell you places you can explore without wanting to sell you anything. You certainly wont be disappointed by what Villa Louise and Dalyan has to offer. |
