| 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. |

| Message: | Hi Bryden This is just to let you know we had a fabulous time at the villa. I'd just like to say that the villa is beautiful, everything we could have hoped for and more. I can't think of anything negative to say about it, you have thought of everything. Being able to drink [filter] water out of the tap was fantastic and the air conditioning system was the most efficient I've experienced abroad. The pool man came and went every day before we even got up, we just knew he'd been because the patio was hosed down and the garden had been watered - lovely. Kim and Richard were great[villa property managers], we didn't need to bother them very much as we have been to Dalyan before but it was nice to know that they were there on the end of the phone for any queries, a very thoughtful extra[emergency mobile phone for guests]. Thank you again for a great experience, I would certainly use the villa again. Carolyn |
