Villa holiday rentals in İstanbul

The host was always responsive and easy to communicate. We liked how calm were the surroundings while it was easy to reach everything we needed by walking. The bathroom is worth renovating but we didn't mind it, and everything was spotless clean.

We had a very pleasant stay. We had a peaceful and quiet and beautiful day where we enjoyed the house without getting tired in the crowds of the island. We were always able to reach Ms. Yüce quickly before and after the stay. The house had most things that could be needed during the stay. We only thought there should have been supplies such as kitchen cloth, spare garbage bag, roll towels that were needed during the use of the kitchen, but we were still happy and satisfied. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Fantastic Historic Location with a Warm & Helpful Host. Murat was an exceptional host—he kindly waited over an hour for our delayed arrival and gave us a thorough tour of the house. His responsiveness and hospitality made our stay seamless! The house itself is charming and cozy, spread across four levels. The location is unbeatable —just steps from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and lively restaurants with nightly live music (expect some crowd noise, but it adds to the vibrant atmosphere!). A few drawbacks: - Water pressure was inconsistent (sometimes stopping mid-shower). - Kitchen sink odor (there was a persistent odor from the sink, possibly due to plumbing issues) Despite these small issues, we highly recommend* this place for its prime location, unique layout, and Murat’s outstanding hospitality. Perfect for travelers who want to be in the heart of Fatih’s historic district! Thank you, Murat, for making our Istanbul trip so memorable!

Lovely comfortable house for our family of 4. Great views and well equipped. In order to get to Üsküdar town and the Fatih easily you need to take a bus which was not ideal but cengelkoy itself is a nice village with some good restaurants and a great historic tea house. Thank you for a lovely stay!

it was not just a stay, it was officially a great experience, and the house smelled like cleanliness when we arrived, and there was nothing to say in terms of location, and you can see it from the top floor at the bottom of the throat. It was also good for us on this hot day with all the rooms air conditioned no matter how hot. They were also flexible with most things, thank you very much for their hospitality, IN SHORT

Staying here feels like stepping into a charming historic mansion, right in the heart of the city. The tasteful, impeccably clean décor blends timeless elegance with modern comfort every detail is thoughtfully curated. Although the vibrant city is just outside, inside you’ll find a peaceful, serene atmosphere. It’s a true urban sanctuary where you can relax and feel completely at ease.

Great place to stay. Peaceful neighbourhood, but only short walk to shops and restaurants in one direction and a short walk and a trip on a mechanical pontoon, across the river, the other way, to a wonderful beach. Well equipped kitchen in the huge downstairs room, with outside terraces, back and front. We had a very relaxing time.

The house was very nice, the furnishings are a bit outdated but it was very cozy. It was also very nice that you could walk to a beach. The hostess was very nice and gave us many tips on what to do and where there are beautiful beaches. All in all, it was an extremely nice vacation with great accommodation.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa! The host was incredibly friendly and very responsible—she responded to all our questions quickly and did her best to help us throughout our stay. Her communication made everything smooth and easy. The villa itself was exactly like the pictures—actually, even nicer in reality. The sea view was fantastic. It was clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained. We really enjoyed the setting and the amenities.

the villa amazing and isolated, so clean and responsive host, we enjoyed 2 day, the pool and the garden was so clean, the villa big and luxury, highly recommended.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this villa. The interior is stylish and thoughtfully designed, with high-quality finishes and beautiful decor that made us feel at home from the very first moment. The host was incredibly attentive and kind — always available, responsive, and genuinely caring about our comfort. Every request was met with warmth and professionalism, making our stay even more enjoyable. This is a place where you not only enjoy great design and comfort but also feel truly looked after. I wholeheartedly recommend both the villa and the host. It’s the kind of home where you feel welcomed, cared for, and would love to return.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa with our family. The host was very helpful, and the daily visits from the staff ensured we had everything we needed. The environment was superb, the view was breathtaking, and our kids absolutely loved it. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway

Simply magical! We had our mini wedding at that villa and it was everything we wished for. Erus is very helpful and always available.

Best host. Very helpful and responsive. The house is amazing with beautiful views.

The Galley Hotel was extremely accommodating to us for our 14+ person family reunion in Istanbul! This trip's purpose was for our family from Ukraine, Georgia, and America to all meet in one place for the first time in years, and we are so glad we chose The Galley Hotel for our extended stay. It was a perfect location both for accessing the city, having a spot to rest and recharge, and hosting family breakfasts and dinners. The hotel's resources were also very reliable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the breakfasts we ordered were the perfect way to start our days, and the kitchen was such a vital part of our stay, providing for a place to gather, eat, and play games as a family. The front desk and cleaning staff were absolutely the highlight of our stay. Not only are they available 24 hours a day, but they were extremely communicative with us, just a phone call or text message away if we needed any help or wanted to book any experiences in Istanbul. We definitely had some str

Turgay and Ferhat were always responsive to our questions, very kind and helpful. The place is nice and quiet, the pool has been a great part of our stay. I’m a yacht captain with 6 other crew members. This place was exactly what we needed to do our jobs here in Istanbul. I would recommend this place 100%

We enjoyed our stay at the accommodation very much and fully appreciated the fantastic view. Despite the larger group, as we traveled with children, we had enough space for everyone. Check-in went smoothly, even if we arrived a little late – Ahmet's family was waiting for us and welcomed us warmly. The accommodation is well equipped and offers everything you need for everyday life. However, some furniture could be renewed in the foreseeable future as it shows signs of wear and tear over time.

Everything was great from booking to checkout. Mr. Firat is a very good host, the employees were just as interested. The house has all the details you'll need. Thank you so much for everything

Everything was very nice and clean as it appears in the photos, we had a good time, thank you for everything

Mr. Bülent was interested, he even took care of my request for extras. The house is great,peaceful and has very good facilities, the balcony takes a short time during the day, and it is half of the balcony. Great balcony in the morning and evening.. The sea is very beautiful in the neighborhood.. The pool was as clean and beautiful as I expected,one side is about 150cm, it deepens on the other side,so it exceeds the length. It was a site I would want to buy a house.

I had a wonderful stay in this lovely home. It has all you need, and plus a cozy garden area to eat outside when the sun is shining. Very lovely host, and this is truly recommended!

First of all, we had a very healthy communication from the first day until the end of our stay. The house was very clean and convenient. Thanks for everything…

The house was definitely very clean, we went for our friend's bachelor party, everything was clean, we had a great time, our belongings were moved to the house, we had no problems with communication, thank you very much.

We spent a very pleasant time here and left great memories. The landlord is super good and has been helping us all along
