Urlachi Çiftliği

At night, the tree art and lighting make the place feel almost magical, and you can even watch a movie right outside your tiny house. The houses were more spacious and comfortable than we expected. Set in nature in Kuscular/Urla, it’s a lovely choice for a couples’ break, with plenty of good restaurants and beaches nearby. The staff were really helpful and did more than we expected to make the getaway we wanted happen. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes peace and nature.

A cute spot for a few quiet, restful days, with excellent service. Be sure to say hello to Lucy the dog! You’ll want a car, since it’s a walk to amenities like the supermarket.

The replacement house we were given was filthy, and after about an hour we left because it was uninhabitable, especially at the price of €400 for three nights on a farm. We’d already paid, but reception said they needed to “clarify everything with Booking.” We left immediately and never stayed as guests, yet got no refund. It honestly feels like a scam. The online photos and influencer posts are completely misleading. I travel often and have never had such a bad experience. An absolute disappointment. We arrived in early May and were shocked by how little the reality matched the photos on Instagram, Booking, and elsewhere. We were told the house we had booked supposedly had water damage, so we were moved elsewhere. It felt as though nobody was prepared for our arrival. There was no proper check-in or explanation of the property or breakfast times. They just took us to the house and left. Nobody had told us beforehand that we wouldn’t get the house we booked, which was the main reason we chose the place. There were stains everywhere. The dishes were filthy, with old coffee in the cups, and the cutlery wasn’t usable. The bathroom was rusty and covered in limescale; the cabinets were dirty, there was no toilet paper, and the sofas were stained. The fridge was dirty and had ice built up inside. The bathroom door wouldn’t close properly, leaving a gap of at least 10 cm. These are basic hygiene and maintenance issues that should be dealt with before guests arrive. We also saw rubbish outside the house we had originally booked, which made us wonder whether the “water damage” explanation was even true.

The scenery and views are beautiful, and we really enjoyed the fire pit, though it cost an extra 750 TL. Aytaç Bey was helpful with everything we needed, thank you to him. Service from management didn’t feel professional, though; you have to ask for things yourself. The restaurant was closed, almost as if the facility wasn’t operating, so bring food and drinks or order online. Breakfast was very basic and well below our expectations. The garden bungalow showers had rusty soap dispensers, and the toilet paper was very poor quality.
