We loved Ionia House and Selçuk
Ionia House is one of the best holiday rentals I've stayed in - and we've rented all over Europe for 40 years. Alison has thought of & supplied everything a holidaymaker might need. Plentiful supply of towels, bedding, crockery, cutlery, saucepans etc - all of very good quality. The water cooler was a treat and getting a refill very easy. Alison was very responsive to any queries we had and gave us good advice on taking the train into Izmir. She also helped to arrange car hire for us which included a driver to pick us up at the airport in Izmir, bring us to Ionia House, leave the hire car with us for the 2 weeks and then take us back to the airport at the end of our holiday. This was a wonderful service, given that we were arriving at about 10 p.m. which would've made it very hard for us to find our way in the dark. Ionia House lives up to its photos. The beds were extremely comfortable and the air-con was great. We loved the fact that it is in a 'real' neighbourhood. We were among local people: women sitting in their doorways chatting to each other and children playing in the street. We practised our few Turkish greetings on them, as we came and went, by saying Hello/Good evening etc. in our halting Turkish and they seemed to appreciate it and greeted us in return. We really liked the town of Selçuk and we loved having Ionia House as our 'home' to return to after a day's sightseeing. We can wholeheartedly recommend it & Alison for her helpfulness.

Traditional villa
Lovely restored traditional property done to a good standard, everything in villa was very good standard, beds, shower kitchen equipment. Lovely unspoilt town with many good restaurants, 15/20 walk but walk back is uphill if you have mobility issues.The villa is in a residential area so can be noisy at times, but didnt bother us. Nice terraces and small pool that was deep do maybe not suitable for small children. Very close to Ephesus that can be reached by dolmus bus. Lots of places to visit and Alison is very helpful and knowledgeable and arranged trips for us.

Stunning place, absolutely perfect
The most wonderful experience of Turkey. Great town to base your selves in for exploring the area. Day trip to Istanbul is possible, as is a day around the pool, or at the beach. Recommed highly. The house is everything you need and more for the perfect family trip or couples, Alison is one in a million

Gorgeous house
We have just come back from Ionia House and we had the most wonderful stay. The house is immaculate and has everything you'd need for a very comfortable stay. Alison was there whenever we needed her. Helped us get a car, provisions for when we arrived and organised taxis. We felt very safe there and as usual the Turkish people are very friendly indeed. We would highly recommend this house and Alison. From Billie-Jo and Scott

Great house in the town of Selcuk.
This was a great place for two couples to stay during a short trip to the Ephesus area. We liked staying in Selcuk because it was close to the Ephesus ancient site and easy to get around for exploring the coast. The house has been recently renovated. The beds were good, bathroom nice, kitchen well equipped. There are views of the city and the fortress from the living room. The outside area was great with a pool, garden, a fireplace and ample seating for outdoor dining. Loved meeting and working with Alison. She met us at the house on our first day and helped us plan our stay. She provided additional travel services for us at a reasonable cost - airport pickup, taxi to Ephesus, ferry tickets, car rental etc. The house is slightly uphill from the town center - but all of Greece and Turkey was hilly on this trip. We own and manage several rental properties in the US so we are very picky about where we stay. Alison has done a great job to make sure her guests have a good experience.

About the host

Host profile image
I have lived and worked in Selcuk for many years, I originally came backpacking to Turkey and fell in love with Selcuk, Turkey, the friendly people, the beautiful sites, nature and the lifestyle.

Why they chose this property

Ionia House has stunning views of the Byzantine castle, St John's Church and as far as the beach was my main reason for purchasing this 278 square metre piece land with an old house.

Before restoration Ionia House consisted of two connected buildings, the original house and an added extra which was knocked down to make room for the lovely front patio garden.

The house was restored by local talented craftsman, stone masons and carpenters all with pride and passion under the fantastic guidance of a very talented architect.

Ionia House restorations started in July 2012 and my first guests arrived in March 2013.

What makes this property unique

Stunning views, Private pool, Three beautiful terraces. A short walk from the center of town and all the nearby sites including Ephesus, St John's Church, Virgin Mary's House and many more wonderful sites.
