Property Owners
Since the beginning of 2010, Truffle has added to its portfolio of holiday rental property available to guests by marketing villas and apartments in Kalkan owned by others. This has so far included Limon Villas, Asfiya Retreat apartments, Old Town apartments and villas and the Likya View collection of 3 and 4 bedroomed villas.
As we gradually increase the Truffle portfolio, there is greater choice for guests who want to enjoy the Truffle service in the beautiful resort of Kalkan. Guest service will always remain very important to us and as we have grown, we have ensured that this remains at a very high standard.
We are now seeking to market other well located villas and apartments and would be happy to talk to owners who may be interested in marketing their property under the Truffle brand.
