History In 1998, after a short search for a suitable location, we became the owners of two authentic farmhouses and the surrounding land (4000 square meters). The old womab (81 years by then), who owned the place, wasn't able to get through the harsh winters any longer. She decided to live with her family in a nearby village and to sell the houses and the land to us. In the spring of 1999 it was restored immediately to fit for its purposes: a tranquil, authentic countryside pension and natural campsite. In the spring of 2000 a sanitary-block for the campers was added to the place. Some sort of an old stable was renewed and serves now as a common space. In 2001, the complex has been extended with an extra original village house. We can now host groups up to 15 persons. Much effort was put in the balance between authenticity and comfort. All facilities have the highest hygienic standards. Nevertheless, the spaces in and outside the houses have a cosy and warm atmosphere.
The guestrooms In spite of the abundant light, the rooms are always nicely fresh. These countryside houses are built of 60 cm walls of natural stone. The thick walls keep the inside temperature in summer always significantly lower then outside. Even on the hottest days, this guarantees a good night's sleep. The rooms are of average size, have new bathrooms, new floors and paint and have windows with beautiful views. The beds and mattresses are new and comfortable, the sheets are new and replaced twice a week. Most rooms have private facilities and are cleaned daily.
The camp site The campsite, as well as the houses, is surrounded by nature. At one side there are fields, at the other forests. One side of the place is bordered by a small brook with clear drinkable water, which partly comes from a volcanic source. Along this river we created shaded places. On the bigger field are sunny spots. The soil is smooth everywhere and easy to penetrate. The sanitary is new and cleaned daily.
The common places The large common room is available for anybody (pension- and camping guests), who wants to hide from the rain, the cold or just wants to be inside with other people. It has very comfortable chairs and a few tables. You can play a game of chess or darts there, use our library or drink a glass of wine. It has a self-service fridge with beer, wine and juice. The extensive library has books about Hungarian and European nature, novels, maps and tourist information about the whole of Hungary. It is a spacious place with a high roof. The walls are decorated with pictures and art from our guests. In wintertime this place is the atelier of your hostess. Outside are several terraces in the shade of a large walnut tree, in the sun and also under a shed. These places are used to eat, relax, play a game or just to talk. One of the terraces has a fireplace. Sometimes we prepare a real Hungarian gulyas on an open fire. One field has facilities to play badminton, volleyball or table tennis. Children can enjoy themselves here. Also they can play in the little river. Building a dam is always an exciting event. At the end of the season (august), children like to be picking plums and peaches.
