Amos Boutique Villa

My husband and I spent 8 nights in Villa Daphne. Position: The villa is placed at the front being the lowest in position. it is surrounded by trees which inevitably creates a lot of shade but there are sunny spots to be found but the wind can cause the trees to drop a lot of debris. Being first in position this villa is next to the restaurant but it does not impede on privacy. The wasps and bees - although present didn't bother us. The Villa: It is a luxury villa and to be fully occupied would be good value for money. On our first morning we noticed a damp patch on the wall which was caused by the en-suite shower from the master bedroom. This didn't pose a problem to us as we had two other bathrooms to use. There are many plates but only four knives and forks and four chairs around the dining and lounge table so it would be quite difficult to accommodate six outside for dining. Beds and showers: the bedstead in the master bedroom is made of wood and proved to be very noisy when turning over, the mattress is quite hard but sleep quality was good. The showers are amazing as the water was always hot and the pressure was fabulous. The Pool : it was cold but clean, sun beds - bit tired and wonky if you don't get it just right. Internet: best obtained outside, hit and miss inside. The Restaurant: We had a car for the entire duration and ventured out every evening apart from our first night. We were late but this did not pose a problem for Volcan and his team. They were more than accommodating, produced a lovely meal and lots of useful information. They were extremely helpful and friendly. We had lunch there on our last day and in all honesty it was the best meal of the holiday. The second best was the first night, chicken wraps and chips to die for. The food is all fresh, home made, extremely good value and there are no travelling costs! All in all a lovely holiday, am completely smitten with Turunc.

Booked Villa Apollon with Agni travel for a week in early September. So why is it called a Boutique Villa Hotel? Our villa was at the very back of the small development up a very steep drive. Our little hire car couldn't make it up the hill without backing all the way down and attacking on full throttle. We did indeed have a 3 bedroom villa but each bedroom had a number as though it might have been let out separately as a hotel room. But where would the lounge and kitchen have fitted into that sort of arrangement? The rooms were very spacious, as were the shower rooms with huge cubicles and copious supplies of hot water at satisfactorily invigorating pressure. The fittings were of good quality but quite often badly fitted. The beds were also a good standard, on the firm side but that was Ok with us. Decent curtains and blackouts. The pool area was pleasant and spacious and the pool was clean. However the pool furniture was rather shabby and in need of replacing or at least a good clean. The same could be said for the pool surround which would have benefitted from a power wash. We had a few niggles in the villa, including a nasty smell under the kitchen sink. But these were dealt with by the management who were exceedingly helpful and friendly. But two issues that prospective renters should be aware of are the facts that the sun disappears behind the villa at approx 4.30pm and there are wasps around the pool during the daytime. As for Agni Travel, I have to report disappointment. They sent a text message on our first day, hoping that all was well. I replied that we had a few issues. No response. In the middle of the week, we received another text message hoping that all was well. I replied by asking whether they had received my reply to their previous message. Again, no response. And their description of the kitchen as "brand new" is very far from the truth. If you wanted to self cater a few meals for 6 people you would find it very difficult. We struggled. Just 2 of us. Very few pans, cutlery etc. No instructions as to the correct use of the dishwasher and washing machine. It was all a matter of hitting a few buttons and hoping for the best.

We booked through Agni Travel to stay in Villa Hera in May and by our estimation tis was by far the best of the villas available. The villa is very spacious and the garden and pool area was just fantastic. There is plenty of room to move your sunloungers and reclinig chairs in any direction for those of you that worship the sun. The pool was a little on the cold side but I guess that will warm up in the sun as the season progresses. The beds are a little on the hard side so do be warned. We enjoyed our little visitors in the garden being the rabbit and tortoise that we saw on a few occasions. The facilities in the villa were very good and I am sad to say that we did even use the washing machine. The large fridge freezer came in very handy for the wine, beer and icecream. The villas are set on a very steep hill as described but do not let that stop you from venturing down to the restaurant to enjoy the breakfast that is included in the price. The staff are very friendly and helpful and are always on hand to help with any questions you may have. Turunc village itself is just a few minutes ride away on the dolmus which stops right outside the villas. If you want a relaxing holiday with plenty of space and privacy then this is the place for you but be sure you book the correct villa as not all are as spacious around the pool. We will be back again next year and hopefully will have the grandchildren with us. Book here and you will not be disappointed
