The Transdanubia / Pannonia / Somogy/Lake Balaton region

The Kali Basin is part of the Uplands National Park and is very beautiful. The area is geared up with cycle paths and is a gentler pace than the southern side of Lake Balaton. Wine growing region. Bird watchers and painters will find this area of interest. The lake is about 10 mins drive with several "beaches" and activities on the lake include sailing and fishing. Just outside the village is the Sea of Stones, a famous geological site and about 50 mins drive is Heviz, with its thermal lake. Also just down the road is Hungary's only polo club which has matches during the summer months.


Tapolca area

Tapolca is only about 15 mins drive with a Tescos and other smaller supermarkets. There is an excellent butchers in the town as well. Bicycle hire is available to explore the region. The town itself has its underground lake which the kids love to row the boat on. Tihany is a wonderful place to explore and has great views over the lake, as well as from the ruined castle at Szigliget. The coffee shop at the base of the castle does excellent cakes and coffee. The tourist office in Tapolca is a good starting point to find out whats on in the area.


How to get there

AboutMyPlace

View Interactive Map

Sarmellek Airport (Balaton SOB) is about 50 minutes from the house with flights from Stansted with Ryanair. Flights are on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Flights are also direct from Frankfurt. To book car hire, I would recommend Fox Autorent who speak good English and very helpful.

You could fly into Budapest on Easyjet and the journey time would be about 2 1/2 hours by car. You would arrive at the house early evening.

To drive from the UK is possible and can be done in less than 2 days with a stop over in Germany!

Guestbook

"This is just a short note to thank you for a wonderful holiday! Your beautiful house was simply superb. It was "chocolate box" gorgeous and so very spacious. You had equipped it to a high level and it seemed to have everything a family needed. On a practical note - your driving instructions were very accurate (and well appreciated) and the kitchen had everything that we needed. So often when we hire a holiday villa we find there is no sharp knife and we struggle with travel adapters - but your house had these in abundance.
We ALL had a wonderful holiday and thank you for making it special. "JH
