Villa Aleyna is exactly as it looks in the pictures - fantastic! We stayed here in August 23 as a family of 4 with teens. We woke every morning to a spotless pool (the pool man crept in every other day!). The gardens were manicured, grass mowed. When the cleaners came they did an amazing job and were lovely. Aircon in the house was very good and the house stayed naturally cool too. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and we ate on the veranda every day. Bathrooms were great with good shower pressure. Beds were comfortable. The washing machine was a great thing to have, meaning we didnt take so many clothes with us. Plenty of space outside to hang washing out and dry towels. BBQ in the garden great - you can get coals at the butchers or local hardware stores - not the supermarket. The villa is a short walk into town, which we did twice a day along pleasant streets, where you are greeted with local cats and dogs who are all so friendly! Aleyna is in a very quiet spot, we had no noise at all whilst there. The neighbours were quiet and the road too. There are several supermarkets, butchers, grocers etc nearby. We mainly used Migros which was well stocked. The service from the Dalyan Villas team was excellent. We were greeted on arrival, even though it was very late and we had been delayed. We were told about excursions with no pressure. We visited the offices in town and were treated like old friends. We booked a private boat day and a visit to a local town and the ruins of Kaunos through them and had lovely trips out. Airport transfers were timely and vehicles were clean, large and comfortable. Dalyan itself is a beautiful bustling town full of local charm and touristy restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. Very welcoming and easy to navigate. The river is full of turtles which you can see from your dinner table, whilst admiring the historic tombs in the cliffs above. Restaurants have so much choice and are priced reasonably. Villa Aleyna could benefit from a couple of small changes. The towels really have seen better days. Some are damaged on the edges and new ones would be lovely. The bedroom furniture in the downstairs room has a broken handle and is a little damaged on the edges. Not a problem but not great. A note to parents - the pool is all one depth and about 5 foot. Bear this in mind with small children. Also the veranda gets VERY slippery when wet. There is a squeegy and a mop to help with this and you really need to use it - I fell one day really hurting myself. After that we were very efficient at ensuring there was no water on the marble! On our arrival two of the sunbeds were broken. I highlighted this to the company and left them around the side of the house. I don’t know if these have been changed. All in a fabulous holiday!
