Fürjes Udvarház: Your Idyllic Gateway to Lake Balaton
Nestled in the serene hills of Vászoly, Fürjes Udvarház is more than just a guesthouse; it’s a tranquil retreat offering one of the most coveted views in Hungary. Perched on Öreghegy (Old Mountain), this charming property frames panoramic vistas of the shimmering Lake Balaton and the iconic silhouette of the Tihany Peninsula. It’s a place where the pace slows, the air freshens, and the beauty of Veszprém State unfolds right from your sun-drenched terrace.
The atmosphere here is one of rustic elegance and peace. The guesthouse masterfully blends modern comfort with a touch of traditional charm, evident in its hardwood floors and thoughtful amenities. Each room is a comfortable haven with a private bathroom, quality linens, and that all-important wardrobe for your holiday attire. However, the true magic lies outside your door. The extensive garden, complete with a sun deck, patio, and picnic area, invites you to linger over a morning coffee from the on-site coffee house or a glass of local wine as the sun sets over the lake. With free WiFi and parking, plus family-friendly rooms and a kid-friendly buffet, it’s an effortless base for explorers.
While you could happily spend days cycling (bike rentals are available) through the local vineyards or lounging in the garden, Fürjes Udvarház is perfectly positioned for discovering the region’s gems.
