On peaceful Temple Hill (Templom-hegy), near the protected nature reserve and where the old Teleki mansion once stood, you’ll find the Anonymous Guesthouse (Anonim Vendégház).

Wine and Mediterranean flair come together at the Blum Cellar – Wine Bar Guesthouse (Blum Pince – Borkóstoló Vendégház), located on the famous row of wine cellars. Perfect for friends or families, it’s a favorite year-round for those wanting the best of local wine and food.
