Villa vacation rentals in Istanbul

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 Yüce Hanıma quickly before and after the stay. The house had most things that could be needed during the stay. We thought that there should have been materials such as kitchen cloth, spare garbage bags, roll towels, which are needed only during kitchen use, but we still left 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

First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Davut for his interest. We were in contact from beginning to end. You'll have a great time with your friends or family. You can especially sit in the garden and have a pleasant conversation. The interior design was quite successful.

A very nice apartment! I was at the university in Beykoz for four weeks for work and the two of us lived there very well. The apartment has what you need, e.g. a washing machine. The location is fantastic. View from the balcony to the Bosphorus! Supermarkets nearby, more shops in Pasabahce. A few minutes to the promenade on the Bosphorus. Transportation is also good. Bus station 3 minutes away, in the evening there is a boat connection from the Golden Horn to Pasabahce. We would mist definitely visit again.

Good place, good person

Duygu was a brilliant host. She was friendly and quick to respond every time I messaged. It was very nice of her to personally welcome us when we arrived at her place and give us a tour of the house. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, crockery, cutlery and equipment. The entire piece was well furnished and the rooms were exactly as in the photos. Linen was clean. There was a nice spot in the backyard for our group to hang out as well as a living room. There was running hot water. The neighbourhood was quiet and safe. Galata Tower, Istiklal Street, Taksim square and Nisantasi were about a twenty minute walk. There are many restaurants and groceries are available nearby. All in all, our stay at Duygu's place exceeded our expectations. I would recommend this house to big groups.

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 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.

Thanks for hosting us. Everything was perfect 👍

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

Been here a few times. Beautiful place. Certainly the best places for a big family in Istanbul. You will enjoy every minute

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

Istanbul is so amazing! thanks to this appartment that is located in the best place for discovering easily all the great areas near galata. the guest was very helpful , providing all needed informations for a great trip. The place is exactly as described. Very cozy atmosphere. No need to take any taxis as everything is reachable via public transport. I really recommend this one and will probably come back as it was to short!

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

Exquisite view and location

Great location, quiet neighborhood, worth the time to relax.

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!

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.

Beautiful place with a gorgeous view. The host was responsive and very helpful, we had a great stay.

We liked it very much as a place, because of the garden, it was very good for the house due to the fact that the house is wooden, but you do not spend time in the house, it makes a little noise when you walk, but you are just going to sleep, so it is not very disturbing, thanks to the host, it was very kind and caring, thank you very much, we stayed very satisfied.
