Nothing all good

Beautiful setting in the hills

Stayed in June 2025

Nothing to do with the hotel but don’t use Uber from the airport! It’s not set up well in Turkey. Make sure you book travel through the hotel!

The most beautiful accommodation! There are pomegranate, olive, fig, lime and grate fruit trees surrounding the smaller pool. The whole place is abundant with gorgeous flowers and plants which are well maintained but the staff. Adorable cats and if you’re lucky, you’ll meet the tortoise which lives in the undergrowth. The staff are exceptionally helpful and will help you book anything. The cocktails are incredible and the food is delicious. I just wish we could have stayed longer!

We love the shrubs and flowers and the general design of the hotel, very rustic, clever layout which provided quiet private locations for relaxing

The location is quite far out from the old town with a long hilly walk so we used taxis each day. However the surrounding area is nice and quiet.

Beautiful unique hotel with amazing staff and the most wonderful breakfast. We received homemade lemonade on arrival and were always so well looked after. Two pools is great, one being more private and tucked away. The rooms were lovely, felt very homely and very clean. We had a great balcony that overlooked the sea. It was my partner's birthday whilst we were away and we received fruit and wine which was a lovely addition.

Everything was perfect!

Incredible and unique boutique hotel, the room was stunning, we were upgraded, which was a lovely surprise! 360 views of the Mediterranean, walking distance to beach clubs, beautiful gardens, and pool areas. The Hotel itself is very tranquil, we didn't want to leave! We enjoyed staying a little bit out of Kalkan town (which can be busy and touristy), enjoying the hills and more authentic surrounds. It is an easy taxi ride into town which was perfect for dinner options. What sets this property apart is the attention to detail, the staff are all excellent, we especially enjoyed having drinks and chatting with the staff at the cocktail bar. The breakfast is next level, a HUGE selection, we loved the Fidanka walnut and tahini pastry - specialty of the house.

The aesthetics , the friendly staff, the breakfast

The Fidanka is a little slice of heaven - it was everything I wished for. The care, attention and pride that the staff take in their work everyday is truly exceptional and I have left feeling like a have a new Turkish family and will definitely be going back. Every member of staff is totally invested in the experience that has been created there by the delightful owner, the manager and the team. Nothing is too much trouble and the quality of the food was absolutely exceptional.

The gardens were beautiful Staff amazing

The Wi-Fi was a little sporadic.

The Fidanka is absolutely stunning. From the moment you walk through the front door you feel like you are in another world. The surroundings are lovely and peaceful. We loved our room that felt like a tree house. We had gorgeous views from our balcony.The vibe is so tranquil and peaceful. We had dinner here and we were given the most beautiful private table surrounded by greenery. The breakfasts are varied and lovely and the staff is so helpful and kind. We loved everything so much that we didn’t feel the need to go anywhere. We just enjoyed the beauty of our lovely balcony and the view. We would love to return one day to this glorious paradise.

Having to leave…. Our fault but we decided to ignore the advice to leave our car at the top of the road and be collected.. it really is a challenging drive and we are quite gung ho..

Utterly beautiful, delightful staff, delicious food… I would revisit in a heartbeat

The bed in the room was very creaky - when one of us moved in the night it woke the other up! Everything else was perfect.

The service was great and the property is beautiful! They were very attentive and helpful during our stay and the breakfast was delicious.

Very little. The Wi-Fi is poor but that is an aspect of the position (no fibre optic) and Government policy. There are some barking dogs at night, particularly down by the sea. A fact but not the hotel’s fault. It didn’t bother us, as we didn’t use the main pool, but some people, mostly English, of an age who really should know better were bagging loungers before breakfast. Smoking in the dining area is an issue, particularly from one very difficult Turkish guest. Finally, if you don’t like cats, maybe don’t stay. There are several around the place including sometimes on chairs and even tables - all in fine condition and well behaved - but they are not everyone’s best friend. Absolutely fine for us.

This is a wonderful hotel. Although only 19 years old, the stone and wooden buildings and gardens are full of character. Our room, just along the road, was beautiful and very comfortable. Excellent views to the sea. The staff are without exception fantastic, especially Hashim and Verat in the dining area and Gulfiz in Reception. Genuinely, nothing is too much for them; excellent service. Nice beach clubs nearby, particularly Mahal and Kalkan Beach. The food is sensational, both breakfast and dinner. We had 2 dinners out but they were not nearly as good as the 5 we ate in.

Wi-Fi could be improved, it was hard to stay connected on social media

I really enjoyed the stay, the breakfasts were great, the peace, beauty and nature around. The room had delicious tea and coffee, a wonderful view from the room to the sea and the main pool, we had an orange tree growing on the balcony, it was wonderful, we will definitely return to this beautiful hotel.

Wi-Fi was a little sketchy but that is not the be all and end all to me and for the most part it was available

Location was approximately 1 mile outside of Kalkan town, that was perfect for us but it depends on what other travelers are looking for. You can walk the distance however there is a busy road in parts and a LOT of uphill walking. Taxis are really cheap and only a couple of minutes travel time so it is no issue whatsoever to be outside of the main town. The hotel itself is even better in real life than the photos, there is greenery everywhere which looks stunning. The cleanliness is superb and the staff could not do enough to help

We liked absolutely everything.

The hotel is really beautiful, probably the most beautiful hotel in town. It's very charming and the plants and flowers everywhere is stunning.

This is a really special place. The beautiful gardens and amazing views the comfortable spacious rooms with lovely balconies make this such a relaxing place to stay. The food is very good here we ended up having dinner here several times and the breakfasts have a wide variety of lovely dishes to choose from. What makes this hotel stand out though are the truly amazing staff - they go above and beyond to be helpful and friendly , nothing is ever too much from organising a boat trip to a taxi and ensuring you feel well looked after. It is an oasis of calm with stunning views and a great atmosphere- we don’t want to leave!!

The friendliness of the staff is the hotels main highlight. The breakfast, lunches, and dinners were out of this world. Stunning pool areas for relaxation and a short drive to some of the main beaches. The sunsets were unparalleled across the bay. We wished we had stayed longer. Hotel decor is super quirky and lively. It was more than a hotel. Last but not least, the cats are super cute, friendly, and well-behaved. If fed, they will most certainly follow you to your room and rest under your sofa.

We didn't use the pools so can't really comment but the other guests seemed ro enjoy their stay around te pool.

Beautiful hotel. The plants, foliage, colours, the decor are all very unique and unlike anywhere else we have stayed. We booked the exclusive suite and this was worth every penny. The views were outstanding, sunbeds on the balcony and seating area inside taking advantage of the views. Breakfast was different and not your standard fare as in many of the other restaurants. It was delicious. We dined in the restaurant a few evenings and the service and food were very good . We took a taxi to the centre several nights and this cost around 170tl each way. The hotel will book the taxi for you. We used villa mahal beach club (very chilled with lovely lunches) most days which is a 5-10 minute walk downhill...slightly longer uphill!! I would highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a relaxing break.

Well appointed and immaculately clean bedrooms, professional and attentive staff. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the breakfast was outstanding.

In order to get to the property you had to climb about 12 steps to the entry way. There is ample parking but beware that you are parking on a hill. Pictures of the property make you believe that it is spread out over a long area. Basically you there is a central staircase from the pool area that goes up to the different levels of the of each room so if you have mobility issues, be aware that there is no elevator.

The hotel is located on a Cliffside overlooking Kalkan with a view of the Bay. It is a lovely landscaped complex with lots of Bougainvilla and other flowering trees and vines that make for an exquisite environment. The breakfast has many selections of of delectable items you eat in a garden environment with delightful views. We had dinner and it was an amazing food adventure and very romantic. Our room actually had two rooms which were spacious and adequate. We also had a terrace with chairs in front of our room and which were a few steps away from the pool area, there was a library sitting area with ample selections and a very exotic feel to it. The staff took time to spend letting us know of possible day trips and the aspects of the property. There was a bar at the pool and many people took advantage of spending the day by the pool. The television was small and only had two or three English news stations.The pool has shallow and deep ends and there are steps to enter it.
