Unique Country Villa near Budapest
A beautiful property for family, friends and groups within easy reach of Budapest. Budapest is 40 minutes away and 25 minutes to Budapest airport. The villa sits within its own 1.5 hectare estate with pool (in season), gazebo, landscaped gardens and outside kitchen. The grounds are exceptionally bio diverse with over 30 different varieties of trees. It is secluded without being isolated and is accessed from an unmade road that is about a kilometre away from the motorway directly to Budapest.
The property will suit adventurous outdoor families, friends or groups as it is surrounded by forest. The main villa has been our summer family retreat for the past 15 years.

Amenities
12 guests · 7 bedrooms · 9 beds · 4.5 bathrooms
Given the number of bedrooms, beds and bathrooms, it can comfortably accommodate two or three families wishing to holiday together or a large extended multi generational family. Alternatively the villa can host team building sessions or activity groups: several parties from Semmelweiss University stayed last year (see reviews). In the past we have comfortably hosted up to 20 friends and family at the same time which gives an idea of the flexibility of the accommodation.

Pool and Grounds
The nine metre by five metre pool has been designed with a shallow end for young children complete with an in pool seating level for comfortable adult supervision (coincidentally works well, as we have discovered over the years, with a glass of wine or beer). The pool is not heated so is only in use from May to the end of August.
Families can cater pool side with a second kitchen (electric cooker and fridge) so no one misses the fun providing the food! Meals/snacks can be consumed in the large gazebo next to the outside kitchen and pool shaded from the sun. There are plentiful sun loungers around the pool to cover rest and relaxation requirements in the sun. [[ The outside kitchen has an integral real wood BBQ. There is also a large Weber Espirit gas BBQ on the main terrace which can be moved next to the pool if required. The cooking opportunities are completed with a traditional Hungarian Bogrács: this is a large cauldron used over an open fire to cook Goulash (this is for the purists: personally I like cooking curries in the cauldron outside) There are two fire pits for Bogrács: one conveniently near the house and the other in a forest section of the property. The nearest one to the house is equipped with log benches and seats up to 15 people. The forest fire pit is more basic: here you can be in the forest without worrying about wildlife as you are safely fenced in. The architecture of the grand Silver Birch trees make this a wonderful place to spend an evening around the camp fire..... ]]

During your stay
The Villa owner and family stay in a property next to the villa, but there is no indoor access so guests have privacy inside their own villa. The pool, outside kitchen gazebo and the grounds in the pictures are exclusively for use of our guests. (Our outside area is completely separate to the guests). If you need help, however, someone will be on-site at all times. And if they are here, our kids would be delighted to show the guests’ children around as well. Housekeeping: towel and linen change midweek for weekly rentals.
Additional Important Notes.
- This is the real countryside so if bugs worry you this is probably not the right place to stay.
- Traditional thick villa walls so variable internet in places inside but fine outside (even with boosters!)
- Unmade road accessing the property is bumpy in places: you need to drive slowly for several sections.
- See the Bookings page for cancelation policy, check-in & check-out times etc.
