Home description
The studio flat, near the city centre, is part of Orchardviews House which, together with the cottage (see Property No 34747), is set in its own grounds down a quiet and leafy street. The metro is just 7 minutes away. The house, completely enclosed and surrounded by trees, stands in half an acre of gardens.
In front of the house are flower beds in bloom for 7 months of the year. Lawns, dotted with fruit trees, stretch away to the side and rear of the house. A supermarket and cosmopolitan restaurant are round the corner.
This property is ideal for singles, couples or families looking for a holiday in a quiet setting, but wishing to be near the centre of this stunning capital city on the Danube.

The Central Hungary/Danube region
Hugary lies in central Europe and the River Danube runs north-south through the centre of the country. It shares its borders with seven countries: Austria to the west, Slovakia to the north, Ukraine and Romania to the east, and Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia to the south. Budapest is in the centre-north of the region and is the perfect base from which to explore the region and the country.
Only a short drive away are a host of other attractions, including Lake Balaton for swimming and boating, the Danube bend and beautful old towns like Szentendre and Székesfehérvar. Whatever your interests central Hungary has so much to offer.
Budapest / District 12 area
Budapest, with its wide avenues, Art Nouveau style and streetside cafes is reminiscent of Paris. It is in fact two cities, Buda with its castle, and Pest. These sit astride the great River Danube. There is a wealth of activities on offer. Take your choice:
Sights to see: The Castle District; this is the jewel of Buda. Take the cable car up to it and visit the Royal Palace and exquisite St Mathias Church. Enjoy panoramic views across to Pest and then wander down the narrow cobbled streets past old listed buildings. Pest old town Andrássy út (the Champs Élysées of Budapest) The Chain Bridge Margaret Island in the Danube: perfect for strolling, swimming pools and bike hire etc St Stephen's Basilica The splendid neo-classical Central Market (Buy almost anything here!) Wonderful Museums like the National Museum, National Gallery and Museum of Fine Arts; To name just a few.
Thermal Spas: Hungary is famous for these, many in beautiful architectural settings. Spend a lazy day in the famous Széchenyi or Gellért and feel those aches and pains ease away.
Cafes and Restaurants: Hungarians love to sit and talk over coffee and cakes (tea too!). And so must you if you are to get the feel of this city! Experience spicy Hungarian cuisine at a restaurant by the Danube at night with the castle lit up high on the far bank, and be serenaded by gypsy fiddlers at your table.
Excursions The Budapest Hills: to see these and get a spectacular view of Budapest you can take either the Cogwheel Railway, or the Chairlift up to János Hill (Budapest's highest point), or the Children's Railway (run largely by children!) which climbs up into the hills. Boat excursions on the Danube leave daily Lake Balaton: the largest lake in central Europe and ideal for swimming and boating Székesfehérvar: the ancient capital of Hungary The Danube Bend: drive north out of Budapest with the Danube on your right side and misty forested hills rising up on the other Szentendre: a beautifully preserved little town on the Danube half an hour north of Budapest.
