Hi, it's me Kata and I'd like to welcome you to Somló! In the smallest wine region of Hungary with a unique variety of wine you won't find anywhere else in the world. Here in the middle of the vineyards you will find our fourth country house - Buborek... cosy, with panoramic views, excellent accessibility and with the best Hungarian winemakers just a stone's throw away...
The fact that Somló is exceptional in its volcanic origin was discovered by the ancient Romans, who planted the first vines here. And although the vineyards have had many owners during their existence, the regulations from 1511, when the vineyards on the hill became the property of the monastery, will probably still be unique. The vineyards were administered with a firm hand by the Mother Superior, who issued several special regulations concerning the behaviour... so that the grapes would not suffer from immoral influences. So, it was forbidden to spread any malicious gossip in the vineyards, to swear, to behave indecently or to get drunk. When the harvest began to approach from September only old ladies were allowed to guard the vineyards against theft. According to the Mother Superior, the combination of young women and ripe grapes could be too tempting and was forbidden.
Whether this is true or not, we, on the other hand, will be happy to tempt you with views, walks through our vineyards, the essence of grapes locked in a glass bottle, and even resting behind the back of the Lord God.

We are on-site, we give our guests space and intimacy, but we're always ready to help
We are a female and family run small business, Kata and Laura, running 5 tiny country homes in the Balaton Uplands, in Hungary. The idea and the first guesthouse came in 2017 from the desire to share what nature, these beautiful, programful destinations can give to big city people. During the years we grew to have 5 small guesthouses, in different locations, that are same in equipment but different in style: Chill'Inn, Rusztika, Buborék, Barrique, Kubo, the latter is a fully off-grid, self sustainable house. We want to share how it feels to get disconnected from the everyday routine and relax for a weekend or a longer stay. Five houses, one goal. The most important for us is to make everything so that our guests can have an authentic experience and a perfect relaxation in a chic countryside. We have no WiFi, no TV and other electronic goods, but we have fresh air, big outside space, a true relaxing atmosphere in all seasons with a cozy, stylish interior. The outdoor areas are rich in gorgeous sunset or sunrise, flowery meadow and butterfly dance gazing spots, comfy lounge areas, fireplace, insect hotel, deer feeder, terraces for long chats and stargazing. Places where you feel the terroir before letting down the first sip of volcanic wine. Yes, all houses are in vineyards with premium boutique winemakers all around. Should our guests need the best programs, hard-to-find-places, local experiences, best chats, involvements, access to local products and maybe also discounts, we are there for them.
