We had a wonderful stay at New Balturk Villas Sapanca from March 20–22. Traveling as two families (4 adults and 2 kids), the experience was overall fantastic.
The villa’s hilltop location offers stunning views of Sapanca Lake, the surrounding hills, and the nearby teleferik. Although it was foggy most of the time during our stay, we could easily imagine how spectacular the scenery must be on a clear day.
One of the highlights was the heated pool—we absolutely loved it. Despite the cold weather and light drizzle, we were able to enjoy the pool even at night while using our personal grill, which made for a memorable experience.
The property also features an outdoor BBQ grill, fire pit, and lawn furniture. However, due to the rain, these were wet and unusable. It would be great if the management could store the BBQ setup, fire pit, and cushions indoors during wet weather.
In terms of amenities, most things were well taken care of, but we did feel that the number of towels and slippers provided was insufficient for a 3-bedroom villa.
Overall, a great stay with beautiful views and excellent facilities—just a few small improvements would make it perfect.
Bungalow is newly made, as it appears clean and appears on the photos. However, because of the understructure problems, we noticed, they came immediately, they tried to open the shower tub in an interesting way, and when they failed to succeed, they tried to push the garden tub and open it, but they couldn't. However, we said we shouldn't use this bathroom. I already noticed the hygiene problem when I saw the shower swab already inside. Another thing is, the shower up there was a constant smell of swab. The pool was small but clean. The manga and the fire hole were beautiful. The rooms and beds were beautiful. We would prefer the pool to be bigger. I wish it was better if the shell was longer but it wasn't. His garden was green and beautiful and was generally protected. We stayed four people but it was boring to have two seats in the garden. Outside, the three-storey building was partly seeing our garden. That's why only this section could be a little higher. The lake view was limited. TV is available but there is no satellite TV. You can only watch something via the internet subscription. The refrigerator is small. We took breakfast, it was a fine idea to send the stuff without mixing. The other breakfast was ordinary. I wouldn't take breakfast if I went again. The customer services were especially interested in the Cinem lady every time we sought and tried to help. We thank her. In summary, we spent a beautiful weekend for the family despite some negatives.
