Home description
The cottage and Orchardviews House (with its studio flat: see Property No 34746)) stand in half an acre of gardens surrounded by trees. In front of the house and to the side of the cottage are flower beds in bloom for 7 months of the year. Lawns dotted witht fruit trees stretch away to the side and rear of the house. Orchardviews enjoys real peace and tranquility, but since it is so near central Budapest, it is the ideal city escape to enjoy the best of both worlds.
The cottage faces the garden. It has a double bedroom, sitting room, fitted kitchen and bathroom. Recently renovated, the rooms are comfortably furnished. There is also a studio flat in the main house with ensuite bathroom and kitchenette. French windows open onto the garden.

The Central Hungary/Danube region
Hungary lies in central Europe and the 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 fascinating 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 2 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 with so many 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 bulidings. Pest old town Andrássy út (the Champs Élysées of Budapest) The Chain Bridge Margaret Island in the Danube: perfect for strolling, swiming 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 And so much more.
Short trips: The Budapest Hills: to see these and get a spectacular view of the city you can take either the Cogwheel Railway, or the Chairlift up to János Hill (Budapest's highest point), or the Children's Steam 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 swimmimg and boating Székesfehérvar: the ancient capital of Hungary The Danube Bend: drive north out of Budapest with the Danube on one side and misty forested hills rising up on the other Szentendre: a beautifully preserved little town on the Danube half an hour from Budapest
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 at your table by gypsy fiddlers.
