We stayed at the Fidanka for 2 weeks end of Sept/October. The hotel did not disappoint, just as pretty and quirky as expected, run very engagingly by Ihan who seemed to keep the whole place going. The weather was excellent, just a few drops of rain one afternoon. The public areas are lovely, particularly the pool area, good sunbeds and... more

This really is a beautiful little hideaway 5 minutes drive from Kalkan. The building is incredibly quirky and arranged over numerous levels. Our room had a separate sitting area furnished in the manner that I would imagine a typical Turkish house would look like, in fact the whole hotel oozes old world charm and it's very easy to relax almost... more

This is a unique small family run hotel. The rooms are basic but have everything that you need. The roof top terrace provides stunning views across Kalkan Bay and both the evening and lunchtime food is very good. The pool area is quiet and also offers great views across the bay. The service here is very good and you are... more

We just came back from two weeks honeymoon in this marvellous hotel. Small, quiet and idyllic, the whole place smells of jasmine and looks beautiful with it's retro stone and wood construction and copious flowers. The rooms, pool and food are all excellent and the small (4) staff very helpful and very friendlly, If you're looking for Mandarin Oriental levels... more

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT HOTEL This is probably the loveliest hotel I've ever stayed in, absolutely overflowing with charm. The pool area is an idyllic place to spend a day lazing on a sun lounger, admiring the beautiful plants that creep and climb everywhere. It's just a perfect way to spend a holiday. We stayed in a timber terraced room - I... more

My wife and I stayed at Fidanka for 10 days in June after being recommended by our daughter and her husband who had stayed there in 2008. The hotel has amazing charm, character and warmth having been constructed from reclaimed stone and timber from old village houses. The hotel is built on a hillside with superb views over Kalkan Bay... more

I agree totally with the other reviewers on the prettiness of the hotel. It is by far the loveliest building in this area of Kalkan. Overall we had a very pleasant and relaxing stay there - also using the Villa Mahal Beach Club, which is about 10 minutes away on foot down the hill, but there were a few niggling... more

I stayed with my 8 years old daughter at Fidanka last week. I found the hotel from the Small Hotels Book of Turkey. The hotel is established by a grandmother (ex-dentist but an artist now) and her daughter and son in law (who used to be a banker). As a world traveller, it is the best hotel that I have... more

I echo what others have said about the Fidanka - it's a special and unique place with much attention to detail and many charming features. The manager, Cuneyt, and his team are so friendly and helpful and the place has an utterly relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are quirky and spacious (we had one on the top floor with a balcony... more
