Ihlamur Konağı

The bedsheets and pillows were clean, and thanks to Mr. İlker for the stay. That said, the house itself could've been cleaner. The pool was cold, despite being described as 80 degrees Celsius, and this seems much more suited to summer than winter. A Turkish coffee machine in the kitchen would have been useful, and a mop for the floor would've helped too. Four chairs don't really work for a house for eight, and there’s no underfloor heating, so bring slippers or socks. Ozil Villa, which belongs to the same person, is much, much better.

The pool was excellent, and the staff were really helpful. The villa was clean and roomy, had a lovely view, and was near amenities. A truly fantastic place.

I couldn't find a phone number to contact anyone. Do all the villas have a fence protecting the pool?

Barış Inan was quick to help and treated us with a lot of respect. I travel around Türkiye often and know its cities and tourist spots, and this was one of the nicest villas I've stayed in. It suits families, adults, and anyone after peace, nature, and a chance to relax. The villas sit behind a tall mountain wall topped with thorns, with a gate you open by remote control whenever you come or go. The security feels strong, after God. The setting is lovely, with a partial view of Lake Sapanca. Inside, there are four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a big living room with several seating areas, a dining table, and a kitchen. The master bedroom has a balcony, and there's another balcony for drying clothes. Outside, the beautiful courtyard has places to sit, a private pool with seating around it, a swing, and barbecue tools.
