Where to Stay

A former bourgeois house turned inn sits in the village center along the Sárvár–Celldömölk–Pápa route, 3.7 miles from Sárvár and 6.2 miles from Celldömölk. Its garden looks out toward Ság Hill (Ság-hegy) and Hercseg, with the chapel glowing beautifully at night.

Castle Vibes

The Kovács family’s castle has operated as a guesthouse since 1983. It’s homey, packed with antiques, and full of surprises. Nestled in a quiet park, the inn offers activities and hiking options.
