Villa Kabala’s prime location in Veszprém State places you within easy reach of some of Hungary’s most captivating attractions. Here are three must-visit sites, all perfectly accessible from your tranquil base:
- Szigliget Castle and Museum (2.1 miles / 5-minute drive): Your historical journey begins virtually on your doorstep. Perched on a volcanic hill, this 13th-century castle ruin offers breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Balaton. The short trip from the villa means you can visit for a spectacular sunrise or a leisurely afternoon exploring the ancient walls and museum exhibits.
- Sümeg Castle (19 miles / 30-minute drive): Venture a little further to experience one of Hungary’s best-preserved medieval fortresses. The drive through the rolling hills of the Balaton Uplands is part of the pleasure. At Sümeg, you can witness thrilling knightly tournaments, explore the castle grounds, and dive deep into the region’s feudal history, making for a perfect half-day excursion.
- Tihany Abbey (27 miles / 40-minute drive): No visit to the region is complete without seeing the iconic Tihany Peninsula. The drive along the northern shore of Lake Balaton is famously scenic. The historic Benedictine Abbey, with its stunning baroque architecture and legendary echo, overlooks the lake from the peninsula’s heart. Explore the abbey church, the surrounding lavender fields (in season), and the charming village before returning to Villa Kabala’s calm.
After days spent hiking nearby trails, horseback riding, or visiting majestic castles, you’ll appreciate returning to the quiet sophistication of Villa Kabala. Whether you’re savoring a meal at the restaurant, planning your next adventure at the desk, or simply breathing in the garden’s fresh air, this bed and breakfast offers an authentic and deeply relaxing Hungarian escape.
