For personal reasons I had to travel to Zala County of
Hungary In May 2014.
I was searching for lodging on the internet when I came
across Marton Vendégház in the
village of Gelse and rented their smaller cottage for three days.
I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised.
I am living in
California for 50 years and traveled the world extensively, but the
accommodations here could easily compete with the best vacation rentals anywhere
if you are looking for a peaceful serene country setting.
Spacious, clean, quiet
and comfortable cottage with a living room/kitchen combination, large bathroom
with shower, refrigerator and a comfortable double bed at half the price you
would pay for a hotel room in the nearby town.
The village offers an excellent
restaurant (it surprised me with the best meals I had in Hungary), general store
and basic services but not much else.
It has a Spa with Jacuzzi, sauna and an
Olympic size pool but it was closed when I was there. Nevertheless you can take
long strolls in the vineyards covering the adjacent hills.
You are just a 10
minute ride from Nagykanizsa - if you have your own transportation (recommend) -
but regular bus service takes you therein in about 30 minutes.
Also, in less
than an hour you can reach Lake Balaton or the resort town of Héviz.
Should I ever go back to this area I would definitely stay at
this place.
