Romantic, old country estate for family and group holidays

We really enjoyed our 1 week stay at this guest house with family and friends. It is perfect for a group like ours that can take most or all of the house. Nestled in a quiet residential community outside the village center, this rustic house features 6 rooms (a 7th is in the owner's house) in a renovated stone barn, each with its own toilet and shower. The rooms were clean and well maintained and adequate for a week +/- stay. Bedrooms were set out in very cozy country style. The structure consists of 3 separate attached buildings: the bedrooms/baths, the kitchen/dining room, and the lounge, none of which are connected internally (this means you need to go outside to get to the adjacent sections). The dining area has 3 walls and where the fourth would be is open to the courtyard. This posed no problem for us as the weather for us was warm and dry but might be inconvient in the event of cool or rainy weather. The dining area featured the fireplace indicated in the photo and we used it every night! The owners provided us with firewood and candles and this made evenings very charming. The kitchen does not have an oven or microwave but otherwise was complete, and a portable charcoal grill was available. The lounge contains the pictured piano and has seating for a number of people and could serve as a dining room in inclement weather. The owners were very accommodating and helpful, but it helps to speak either German or Hungarian. They live in the thatch-roofed farmhouse across from the courtyard and were available but not intrusive. The grounds were well maintained and attractive. A car is necessary to get to the nearest stores and attractions since the property is located in the hills above Lake Balaton. Local roads led to several hiking trails offering a variety of environments (woods, fields, pine forest, vineyards, etc) and some nice vistas. If you go there, make sure to visit the abbey ruins in Dorgicse proper as well as the castle ruins in nearby Nagyvarsony. A public beach (access fee) on Lake Balaton is about 5 km away in Balatonakali which has restaurants, playground and water activities great for kids.

il gruppo si è trovato benissimo, tutto come da descrizione, location bella proprietari cortesi e gentili

Wir haben mit 14 Personen einen sehr schönen und vor allem erholsamen Urlaub verbracht. Groß, ruhig und sehr stillvoll eingerichtet. Die Familie ist sehr herzlich und zuvorkommend. Wir möchten einen weiteren Urlaub hier verbringen!

Wir hatten zusammen mit befreundeten Familien eine herrlich erholsame Woche in diesem schönen Haus. Mit großer Herzlichkeit und selbstgebackenem Kuchen wurden wir begrüßt und genossen die Tage in dem sehr großen wunderschönen Garten. Wir wollen unbedingt wiederkommen!
