Long-Term and Monthly Villa Rentals in Türkiye

Who rents villas by the month?

Monthly villa rentals suit retirees escaping a northern winter, digital nomads who want a pool instead of a co-working desk, families taking a long break, and anyone testing life in Türkiye before deciding on something more permanent. Fethiye and Kaş work well for longer stays thanks to year-round markets and established expat communities, while Bodrum and Antalya keep city services close at hand.

Agreeing a monthly price

Long stays are usually priced differently from nightly rates, and the figure is negotiated directly with the owner. Before you agree, clarify:

• Are electricity, water and gas included, or billed separately by meter? Separate billing is common on longer stays.
• How often is cleaning done, and are linen and towel changes included?
• Who looks after the pool and garden?
• What is the deposit, the payment schedule and the policy if you leave early?
• How fast is the internet, and how is the villa heated in winter?

Put everything into a written agreement, even for a single month.

Holiday let vs. residential lease

The villas here are furnished holiday homes rented for tourism. A long-term residential lease in Türkiye is a different arrangement, typically annual and often unfurnished, with its own rules. If you are not a Turkish citizen, visas and residence permits are your own responsibility; check current requirements with official sources for the length of stay you plan.

Timing and trust

October to April is the natural window for monthly rentals; in July and August many owners only take weekly bookings. Every listing shows a VillaNo and Tourism Permit number, so check it before paying. Villora does not handle bookings or payments; you deal with the owner directly.
