                Our friends, who have been here before, were perfectly right with their enthusiasm for
                Villa Mimosa and Kas!
                This time we enjoyed together with them the wonderful villa and beautiful region,
                with the highlight of Kas!
                We will love to come again!
                P & J
 

                Wonderful to be here again!
               
The house is, as previously sung in all keys: great!
                The  lounge terrace was always a favorite during the evenings after returning from Kas, where we ate.
                In the morning we had always a delicious breakfast at the big outside table .
                We hope to come back soon and until then we will be dreaming of it!
                L & T

                Nothing more to add, all fantastic!

          We are excited about your house, but don't want to promote it too much,  not wanting
          to diminish our chances for a return visit .

          We have had an altogether great holiday!

          We really did enjoy all the ingredients:  the villa where nothing is lacking, the peace,
          the wonderful temperature and lack of tourists crowds and the delicious affordable lunches.
       
          Your house acts as a nice, cosy home, where you immediately feel at home, but also
          offers a great opportunity to beautiful, varied and surprising tours.

           A compliment for you who offers this charming ambience to others.
           A big compliment, indeed for Serdar, for his attentive and loving care.
           He is there when needed gives confidence, but is never intrusive.

           In short: worth repeating!!

       Villa Mimosa is a great spot on the peninsula of Kas!
       The house is wonderful and well equipped (dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, oven, BBQ, etc.)
       with a beautiful view, especially from the upper terrace, connected to the bedrooms.
    
       A huge plus is the lovely double bed, it is very comfortable , a relief after so many  "hard boards ".

      There are a lot of places in and around the house or the pool to relax, sunbath or read.
      The pool was delicious and refreshing because it was already 24 to 25 degrees (mid April)!

      Kas is a very pleasant, charming, small town, with a nice harbour.
      There is a large marina being build at the moment, but the construction works  always stops
      in May and starts again in October.
      It is a 12 minutes drive from the centre to the house, which is simultaneously a beautiful trip.
      Taxis are not expensive, so you can take a taxi if you wish.
     
      The trips described in the guestbook were also very much to our liking, the restaurant tips 
      (f.i. chez Evy) were very nice (however difficult to find).

      Our vacation here was perfect  and we hope to come back!

           We have had a wonderful week!

           It is all perfect here:  a magnificent plot and a beautiful villa!
          With all mod cons, tastefully and colorful decorated.

          Our rented Renault has led us anywhere: Myra Patara, Gömbe, etc.
          Also a trip to Kekova - the lost city-where we took an old fishing boat.
          Cheaper and more fun!

          It was all quiet and peaceful, that's the advantage late in the season!

          The festival of  "the Day of the Republic " was unforgettable!
           Laughing, dancing and good food!

           Altogether "Top of the Bill!"

           Thanks!
          
Truus, Riet, Ans, Toos

            PS. we were very happy with Andilfi, the car rental company!

       

 

 

 

    
             September 15th

             Following an already very beautiful "Blue Voyage", we enjoyed during ten days the
             beautiful ambience of Villa Mimosa,  and could relax completely.

             We found our holiday here so great that we even have reduced our diving to a mimimum 
             just to spend maximum time in the villa.
             (and Serdar is great! )

             No doubt, we come again! 

             Susanne, Ingrid, Andrea, Dian

     

             For the sixth time in Kas, but this time was very special!
             We have read a lot, idled , talked, dived rarely (Kas Diving) because we loved to be here!
             Serdar has cooked tonight! It was VERY TASTY ------ MMMMMMMMM!

        We have had a nice holiday in Villa Mimosa!

        Our kids enjoyed the pool, the lovely house, the snorkeling and the neighbours
        (Hotel Amphora).

        We have enjoyed undisturbed reading and the choice between so many terraces!

        We went from Kekova  to Ugaciz, it was fun and very enjoyable.
        We visited Gömbe in the mountains with the green lake, the waterfalls and an
        authentic lunch  (in a farmers house). Recommended!
        No ordinary "tourist traps" (organized by Xanthos) and an open-air jeep just for our family!
        The rugged off-road journey back was spectacular and really beautiful.

        We admired the stars and lingered during the evenings often in Kas.
        We always went by dolmus, found it very amusing.

        Serdar has assisted us perfectly. He knows the region well and is in his own modest way
        an absolute value.

        With love and wish you lots of fun here in Villa Mimosa!

          What a wonderful little haven it is here at Villa Mimosa!
          We have had a glorious time!

          Our days have been consisting of the simple good things of life:
          fresh bread in the morning, a book and a swim in the afternoon,
          and clear starry nights with plenty of wine.

          I think that we have been able to settle in and feel just like we're at home,
          and we thank you for that!

          Dear greetings!

          Ton, Mariette, Maya, Vanessa, Michelle and Lucien

             " an unforgettable paradise to return to again ! "          

 

 

 

       
       August 8

       We were for the 2nd time in your lovely villa and enjoyed it again so much!

       A lot of swimming and we went scuba diving for the first time (Kas Diving):
       up to 5 meters deep under the guidance of an  excellent instructor.
       It will sure be continued!
 

       In Saklikent we climbed through the gorge until the waterfall at the end
       A wet but wonderful adventure. (Hint: stop electronics in a plastic bag).

       Patara beach is a good combination on the same day, the waves can be strong
       but not dangerous.

       In short, a wonderfully relaxing week!

       Thanks for the hospitality!

          All words left the four of us,  as we explored Villa Mimosa and all her rooms, terraces and lounges.
           So much space and so bright!
           What a luxury, what an atmosphere!

           It is was such a pleasure to settle ourselves down here for a two weeks holiday.

           Above all we never could have guessed that we would have landed in such a paradise lump in
           Turkey....

           And we did enjoy ourselves tremendously!

               *      the feeling of being "AT HOME " in villa Mimosa, where really EVERYTHING is available
               *      the huge swimming pool just for us, with for everyone a private parasol (!)
               *      the beneficent coolness on the extraordinary cosy, shadowy terraces around the house, on those
                       times that the heat was unsustainable ( we had two complete weeks of tropical heat, above 40 degrees)
               *      the trips with our rented open jeep: old and worn out without luxury, but heavenly because off the
                       adventurous style and the Cabrio-feeling. We did prefer the Turkish wind above an airco system.
              *       the intimate atmosphere of Kas, ( especially during the evenings, with a leisurely stroll along the shops in
                       the narrow streets, the temptation of the Turkish carpet- and jewellery shops and other Turkish trinkets,
                       the numerous restaurants and the warm hospitality and cheerfulness of the Turkish people
             *        the non-stop WOW-effect by seeing such an enormous amount of beautiful nature, of which we never
                       could see enough
             *        the safe feeling that our faithful Serdar always was somewhere in the vicinity; apprehensive and willingly.
                        He guards that we - guests - will have no lack of anything

          With our heads and hearts full beautiful memories, our suitcases packed with Turkish souvenirs
          and the memory card of our camera full of lively images, we go back home "WEALTHY".

         
          Dear and thankful regards, with a big nap of nostalgia!

         After three lovely weeks we will leave Villa Mimosa.

         We have travelled around the world a lot and now again we've  found
         a place were we feel at home.       

         We love Kas because of its warm climate , the Turkish hospitality, the splendid nature,
         the historical places and the myths which you can see, feel and relive everywhere.

         Many thanks also for Serdar, he is tremendous!

         We are already delighted to spent our next holiday in Villa Mimosa

        Thank yuo very much!

        22- 05- 09

        We have spent 3 weeks in the beautiful Villa Mimosa.

        The house is so nice decorated, we felt at home from the first moment.

        We've enormously enjoyed the peace, that's still here in the beginning of May.

        A special thanks for Serdar, who did care for us and the house so very well.      

       We already enjoy thinking about our next holiday in Villa Mimosa!
 

        Many thanks and a lot of greetings!

         Kas, April 30, 2009

        We've had an extraordinary nice holiday, for a big part due to your  your Villa Mimosa.

         It is difficult to ad something to all the nice things former guests already stated in your reviews.

         We all know that pictures can be very misleading, but in the case of Villa Mimosa this is absolutely
         not true.

         We have had a lot of fun with the six of us, and also enjoyed the peace and quite here.      

         We also like to thank you for the efforts you made to ensure that the prerequisites (rent a car etc.)
         runs as smoothly as possible.
 

        We hope to come back once again in your lovely villa!      

        Many greetings!

            Kas,  April 18, 2009

      We also only can be full of praise over this splendid holiday house and we did enjoy
      the magnificent view tremendously.
     
      The gods of the weather were with us, temperatures above 20 degrees.
     
The children enjoyed swimming in the pool, the seawater still to cold for a swim.

     
      Delicious, this peace and quiet, we got totally relaxed.
     

      Last Friday we could delight ourselves in a folkloristic show, as a start of the tourist
      season.  Charming, all those little children in traditional costumes.

      In this seasonal period there is also enough to experience. We did make excursions
      to Kekova (sunken city) , travelled to Meis to explore this Greek city and to buy good
      wine and have visited the church of St. Nicolas in Demre.
      All this trips were very worthwhile.

      The remainding time was for idling, reading a lot (good books in the house, even in
      the Frisian language, we loved that also).

      Tomorrow we have to go back, the week did fly!

      Annette en Gerhard,  you made an excellent choice concerning this house,
      nice decorated it likewise!

      Best regards of Peter and Marie, Martijn en Wilko, Marga-Lena and Leanne  

 


           Kas,  October 20, 2008
 

          Dear Annette and Gerhard,

          with melancholy and a lot of perfect memories in our luggage we will leave
          your beautiful house today.

          We've enjoyed  tremendously the quiet and nature as well as the various
          wonderful items and the comfort of Villa Mimosa.
 
          Thanks also for the pleasant welcome gift!
          We felt immediately at home! The neighbours of Hotel Amphora were also extremely
          friendly.
          This morning we had our last breakfast with "our"  gardener and bread supplier.

          All in all it were lovely peaceful days here in Kas.
          It is tough to return to the busy life of a large German city.

          One day we hope to come back to Kas for another enjoyable holiday.

          Once again our sincerely gratitude and we wish you both all the best!

           Johanna and Valentin.

      What a lovely place!

      This house is sublime in terms of format, style and taste
 
    
      And then the view! You can spend hours watching the sea, the islands and rocks.
      
      The environment is exciting!

      We have discovered the origin of the underground river. Her source : the "Green Lake"!

      The weather here is always optimal.  One way or another you have organized that also.
     

       Many thanks for your hospitality.

          Margreet en Simon.

 

 

 

                   September 13, 2008

                 For us this was an unforgettable holiday. Not just because this was
                 the first holiday with the three of us, but also because the
                 " environment"  was magnificent.

                We first thought to take it easy and go to a holiday resort but now we are
                very glad we did not choose it.
                It is in no way to compare with a stay in your villa! 

               We did enjoy everything:
               the lovely house, the splendid surrounding and the friendly people!

               Thank you so much!

   Villa Mimosa is a wonderful place to relax and a superbly location from which you  can make various trips.
   In addition, the villa radiates repose and is very well equipped!
   The view from the roof terrace is fabulous and breaths an intense feeling of peace and quiet.
   So it is the perfect place to leave stress behind.

   The interior is fine functional and very cosy; keep it like this.
   It is a pity the gardener does not speak one foreign word; good that Dennis was there!
   And the facilities of Hotel Amphora! Very friendly, hospitable and accommodating.   And good food!
   Every day Ekmek was delicious! The BBQ great!  

   The airco went down, but thanks to a quick and appropriate action of the manager
   (during the evening in the weekend!) it was fixed very quick.

    We did have a nasty experience with a rent a car. We have been defrauded for at least € 165,-, because
    they calculated a lot of extra's.

    In spite of this trifle WE HAVE HAD A GREAT HOLIDAY IN YOUR VILLA MIMOSA AND WE SURE
    WILL TELL EVERYONE!

    We felt very welcome and delighted to be here!
    Thank you!

    Annette, Els, Steven, Michiel and Maurits

               We've  lived for two years in Turkey now, but we never have been at this tremendous coast.

               Villa Mimosa turned out to be the perfect choice to explore the environment.
               A very tasteful furnished house with all kinds of luxury.
               Terraces in sun or shadow with a tremendous view.
               The pool was lovely, but a little hot.

               In spite of the high season  Kas is a tranquil holiday town with very warm-hearted people.
               In view of  the high temperatures we spent most of the time on the sea.

               Between nine and ten o'clock there is a wide choice in the harbour 
               (take your snorkel with you!),  the boats run in all directions!

               At a few minutes distance from the house you're at the crystal-clear sea where we've had
               an excellent time swimming and snorkeling.

               The "teamwork" with neighbour hotel Amphora is ideal, the personnel (not forgetting Denniz)
                is superbly friendly and the food is good when you don't wish to cook yourselves.
               The same goes for hotel Aquarius.

                Kas itself is a beautiful, still unspoiled town, very relaxed.

                We have had a marvellous week in Villa Mimosa!

                We would gladly come back again!
 

                Ella and Gerald, Emma, Rutger and Laurens
   

               
                PS. Also enjoyed the house library!
 

 

 

           
         
26 -7 -08

          We have spent two lovely lazy weeks in Villa Mimosa.
          We already have seen almost everything on this coast on previous holidays, so now we could
          lounge about for two exquisite weeks.
          It were glorious days with games of Catan on the pleasantly large table on the porch and
          having a drink on the balcony during the evening after sundown.
          What a superb panorama!

          Our eldest son followed two  diving courses at "Kas Diving".  Very professional mode of working,
          and an affectionate accompaniment  He relished the various diving locations around Kas.
          And the sea is so clear!

          You have an exquisite holiday house with all kind of luxuries, a pleasant garden and pool.
          Affectionate neighbours (Hotel Amphora).

          The only minus point is the air conditioning in the balcony room, which just is blowing but not
           cooling. But the manager is informed about it now.

          Al in all we did really enjoy ourselves!

          Tom & Jaqueline, Joost, Minouk and Tim

 

 

 

       

          12 -07 -'08

       Two weeks Villa Mimosa were just marvellous! The house is lovely with its shadow and sun terraces,
       its splendid setting and magnificent view. Kas is a wonderful town  and in the environment there
       are a lot of things to see and do.    Don't miss the Saklikent gorge, unforgettable!  
       The boat trips to the islands around Kas and Kekova were wonderful. 
       Swimming in the deep blue sea a delight.

       The kids did swim with dolphins, they will remember it their whole life.
       People here are exceptional friendly and we have made a lot of friends.

       The pool is beautiful, but too hot during the period we were here, not really refreshing.
       Perhaps because the pool is rather enclosed and it was hot outside.  Isn't there a trick to solve this?

       Swimming in the sea is wonderful, even magnificent!

       Rather pleasant the gardener bringing "Ekmek" (bread) each morning .

       In short, we have enjoyed ourselves enormously these two weeks, but unfortunately we have to
       go back to the flat Netherlands.
       It is just a lovely house, to which we would return gladly.

       Thank you so much!

       Ruud and Angelique, Lisa, Julia and Melle

 



 

    
    
16 - 06- '08

     We have had a delightful week in Villa Mimosa.
     Everything was in perfect order and nothing but praise about the  furnishing .
     Our reception was very well prepared, the gardener a pleasant diversity and
     the manager always eager to help.

     Villa Mimosa is gloriously tranquil and we hope you will be able to keep it like this.
     For us it was a lovely week of repose, but some excursions in the surroundings
     are absolutely worth while.

    We felt completely at home, also because the snug and comfortable interior.
    And he several terraces around the house make a stay unique.
    Above all we have to mention the magnificent view on each moment of the day.

    Thank you for being allowed to stay here.
    Don't change anything, it is just perfect!

    Marleen and Peter

 

 

 

     06 -06 - 08

     We have had a tremendous week in you magnificent house!
     It was just the two of us, so it was an abundance of room....
     The peace and quite were very beneficent.

     Kas is quite a nice little town, we went there each day.
     But the food in the nearby hotel, Hotel Amphora, is delicious and absolutely price worth.

     We have been to Myra / Demre and Gömbe, into the mountains where it is splendid.
     Don't go to Kalkan, Kas is prettier!

     We hope to come back here soon!
     Thank you!

     Liesbeth and Tom

    P.S  the Friday market in Kas is fabulous!


 

      Kas, May 9,

     From the Dutch stress we arrived in the deafening silence and luxury of Villa Mimosa, close to the relaxed
     and friendly atmosphere of Kas.

     Each morning the gardener brought fresh bread ("ekmek") , the "swimming pool man" came two times a day
     to clean the pool.

     The equipment of the villa is perfect and very comfortable. Villa Mimosa is very child-friendly, but we would
     advise buying a baby chair and mosquito nets.*

    The wonderful view at the sea and the stars is absolutely exceptional.

    The peninsula yearns for tourists: the preparations are in full bloom, but there is absolutely no tourist.
    That makes it so special: we were celebrating our holiday, whilst around us everybody worked so hard!
    We felt very privileged.

    The town of Kas is rather relaxed and enjoyable. No hassle, just relaxed and friendly.
    And they also long for tourists!

    It was a lovely stay in Villa Mimosa, thanks for everything!
   
    Jan, Marjan & Maren, Lauri, Sylke

 

     *  Note of the owners: in the meanwhile we have placed the baby chair and the mosquito nets (25-05-08)

 

 

     06 -05 - '08

     Villa Mimosa is a luxury, capacious and comfortable house, atmospheric finished and furnished,
     with a beautiful garden and a nice , huge swimming pool.

     In reality it is even more beautiful than on the pictures!

     The balcony is extremely successful, as are the several seats around the house.
     You can always find sun, shadow, peace and quite, a wonderful view or whatever you are looking for.

     And who would not wish going to bed and wake up with these views for your whole life!

     The kitchen is very comfortable, the spacey fridge enjoyable,  as is the dishwasher.
     Everything is up to date and of high quality. Extraordinary!

     It was a great pleasure to look out over the sea and  to experience the repose.

    We have enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of Kas.   It is still extremely tranquil, just a few tourists, so wonderful.       
     Kas is a nice little town, very lively, with friendly people. We experienced the atmosphere as completely relaxing,
     totally agreeable. The attitude of the merchants was rather distanced, very pleasantly.
   
     The peninsula is beautiful, the amount of holiday houses no problem. There was just some work done to finish the
     hotels and villas in the surrounding.

     We have had a delightful week, we did enjoy ourselves very much and have had an enjoyable holiday.
     Thank you for this beautiful place!

      Our conclusion: extremely quiescent and a fantastic place to be!
  

     We take lovely memories home from a week Villa Mimosa and Kas,
     and wish a lot of people will experience this also.

      Peter and Ans

                What a fabulous place!  
                I would like to live here!
  
                The reception was heart warming, the house so beautiful. Very pleasantly established.
                We feel esteemed to be the first guests. 
  
                A little difficult to find, but the effort is worthwhile!

                 We hope to come back often.
                 A small paradise!
