  We are located in Tapolca-Diszel, in an old wine region, only 10km from the Lake Balaton. We moved to the region and started the reconstruction of a beautiful Mansion and a cool Barn. It was built in the 18th century, representing a purely classical piece of architecture. The mension is officially a monument building, which makes the reconstruction quite special and exciting. Our vision is to found a cool place for cultural, recreational and sport events, where people can stay and enjoy the atmosphere of that natural beauty.
  
  We have bikes to discover the world famous wine region with all the intimate wine cellars. You can do hiking tours in the surrounding hills, which are part of the World Heritage, or in the Hungarian Nation Parks with the volcanic mountain with steep basalt sides. Lake Balaton is a nice ride distance on bike and there's an other lake in the neighborhood to have some chill and swimming in the hot Hungarian summer.
  
  We have several festivals in the area, all worth to go and visit for different purposes. Wine festivals to experience the feeling of Hungarian wine tasting. The closest and best known wine area is Badacsony. Cellars offering the finest wines of Hungary. For cultural entertainment we recommend Művészetek Völgye (2019. 07. 19-28.) in the neighboring villages and VeszprémFest (2019. 07. 10-13.) in the nice, intimate town of Veszprém ca. 30 minutes away by bus.
  
  So you can find here a lot to see and do. Join us, there are still some free places. :)

  Further info about the area (Balaton-Highlands):
  
  Amongst the volcanic mountains of Bakony in the heart of the amazing Balaton- Highlands, close to the city of Tapolca.
  The monadnocks are peculiarly shaped results of the volcanic activity towards the end of the Pannonian Age. At the edges of the Csobánc, Szentgyörgy and Badacsony Hills, which from a distance resemble coffins, typical formations of solidifying basalt: the basalt columns can be seen. The most beautiful examples are the Stone Gate of Badacsony and the basalt organs of the Szentgyörgy Hill. At the slopes of Badacsony, huge rock-glaciers and block fields are to be found, where the large-leaf linden and the mahaleb cherry forest can just establish themselves. The picturesque cones of the Gulács, Tóti and Vár Hills resemble sugar loafs.
  
  The basalt mountains of the area are not only unique geological relics, they are also the habitat of many rare plants and animals. Several botanical rarities live in the extreme climatic and geological conditions. The abundance of the yellow golden alyssium on the rock and quarry sides is picturesque. A unique acidophilic ash-beech forest occurs on the rocky escarpments of the Badacsony; in its beech forests we find cyclamen, while in the hornbeam-oak groves hepatica, black bryony, broomrape grow. On the sunny rocks of the Szentgyörgy Hill a small population of Cheilanthes marantae (unique in Hungary) blooms, with caterack and Lumnitzer carnation. Several local subspecies of sorbtrees find habitat in the unavailable rock cracks. The flower stock of Csobánc is enriched by Pulsatilla grandis, Saxifragas and lilac. On the top of the Tóti Hill a picturesque flower field is situated: Orlaya grandiflora mixed with iris, Pulsatillas and Caryophyllaceae. In the cracks of the basalt columns the small scrubs of Cotoneaster matrensis line up.
  
  At the eastern edge of the area on Permian sandstone the calluna provides a red flower carpet at the end of summer; on the rocks juniper and yellow hawkweed species bloom. On the plains, remains of ancient marshes contain several botanical rarities. At Raposka we find marsh gladiolus and orchids; next to Káptalantóti there is a habitat of the 1m tall and odorous large pink (that occurs less and less), accompanied with the blue flowered marsh gentian.
  On the rocks and in the forests of the basalt hills several rare birds nest: raven, red footed falcon, rock bird etc. In the reeds below the Szigliget Hill the protected greylag goose breeds.
  
  In addition to the natural values the vineyards dating back to the Roman times, the architectural relics of the hills and villages: ruins of castles, churches, palaces and popular architecture are definitely something you have to visit.
  The ruins of the forts of Csobánc and Szigliget, the lavishly rich Tarányi Cellar from 1780, the Lengyel Chapel (1760), the Szigliget Castle and manor, the cellar of Flórián Szabó at Rókarántó of Szigliget, richly ornamented in popular style, the chapels on the vineyard hills (Csobánc, Kisapáti, Badacsonylábdi), the nicely carved crucifixes at the crossroads, the ruins of churches (Csobáncszegi, Sziglitet-Avasi, Káptalantóti-Sabar Mountain), the dignified manor of Róza Szegedy on the Badacsony, are all precious relics of Hungarian architecture and history.
