Stay in Style
By the Kánya Stream, two grand bourgeois apartments offer bright, spacious interiors and fully equipped kitchens. Just 9.3 miles from Eger, at the foot of the Bükk Mountains, three cave houses sit on a 2.47-acre plot. The 4-, 6-, and 9-bed apartments each feature a bathroom, toilet, hot water, underfloor heating, and a full kitchen. Each yard has its own terrace plus grilling and cauldron-cooking setups.
Wine Country, Family Style
Sip fine wines in the village of beehive rocks and black cherries. Founded in 2001, the Nagy family winery lies on the eastern edge of the Eger Wine Region, with most vineyards and the cellar in Szomolya. Another family estate here boasts prime terroir. Year-round by appointment: cellar tours with tastings, oven-fired wine-and-food menus, hog-butchering demonstrations, small plates, unlimited food and drinks, and dinner shows featuring the Eger region’s best wines.
