Your Gateway to Veszprém’s Treasures
While you may be tempted to spend your entire stay within the property’s idyllic garden, the prime location makes exploring effortless. Here are three must-visit attractions, all within a scenic drive:
- The Historic Castle of Veszprém (Approx. 15 km / 20 mins by car)
Known as the "City of Queens," Veszprém’s stunning castle district is a journey through Hungarian history. Wander its cobbled streets, visit the Archbishop’s Palace, and take in breathtaking panoramic views from the Firewatch Tower. The drive from Öskü is a short and pleasant journey northeast, making it an ideal half-day cultural excursion.
- Tihany Abbey & Peninsula (Approx. 42 km / 40 mins by car)
Jutting into Lake Balaton, the Tihany Peninsula is one of Hungary’s most iconic landscapes. The 18th-century Tihany Abbey with its famous echo and stunning lavender fields (blooming in summer) is an unmissable sight. The route from the hotel takes you on a beautiful drive along the northern shore of the lake, offering glimpses of the "Hungarian Sea."
- Lake Balaton at Balatonfüred (Approx. 30 km / 30 mins by car)
No visit to the region is complete without experiencing Lake Balaton. The charming town of Balatonfüred, with its historic Tagore Promenade, vibrant marina, and therapeutic mineral springs, is the perfect spot for a lakeside stroll, a boat trip, or a leisurely lunch. It’s a straightforward and scenic drive south from Öskü.
Getting there is simple: The hotel offers free private parking, making a rental car the most flexible option. For those without a car, a paid airport shuttle from Budapest or a local shuttle service can be arranged to begin your adventure.
In conclusion, Szandra Vendégház is the quintessential base for the discerning traveler. It provides a peaceful, fully-equipped sanctuary to return to after days spent exploring castles, abbeys, and lakeshores. It’s more than accommodation; it’s your tranquil home in the heart of Hungary’s most captivating region.
