Stay by the lake
TóParty Camping stretches along both ends of the beach area. On one side, you’ll find three friendly, air-conditioned wooden cabins for four people each. Each cabin comes with two double beds, a wardrobe, a small refrigerator, a microwave, and terrace furniture—everything you need for an easy lakeside break.
Prefer a hotel? Right in Gárdony, on the shores of Lake Velence (Velencei-tó) and next to the marina and public beach, there’s a lakeside hotel offering 81 non-smoking rooms and 4 luxury suites. Expect modern design blended with comfort and a touch of indulgence—the perfect base if you want spa-level calm between workshops.
Eat and sip local
Home-style flavors delivered to your door Monday to Friday across Gárdony, Agárd (Agárd), Dinnyés, Velence (Velencei-tó), Kápolnásnyék, Sukoró, Nadap, and Pákozd. The pitch is simple: our favorite will soon be your favorite—daily menus that feel like home cooking by the lake.
Petrocelli Caffé Restaurant & Café sits directly on the shore of Lake Velence (Velencei-tó). In front, you’ll find a grassy stretch shaded by trees, a shallow sandy beach for kids, a marina, and a pedal boat rental—sunny day plans basically sort themselves out here.
Got a sweet tooth? Local artisans make gelato on-site using Italian ingredients and traditional methods, and they’re keen to introduce it to as many people as possible. It’s a smooth, summery finish after a lavender-filled afternoon.
