Quick check
Do you know what barrique means? Sooner or later, every wine lover comes across this word. And we won't tell you anything more than that it's an oak barrel. But not just any barrel. These barrels have a specific size and shape and are made from only the finest oak wood. Once the oak has made its way all the way through to become a barrique, it's filled with wine and that's when the real magic begins to happen. Oxygen, flavors, aging... We'll take you to the smallest wine region in Hungary, where you can follow the footsteps of wines aged in barrique barrels, but also in the footsteps of our exceptional taste, which you won't find anywhere else in the world: Juhfark.
And where are we going to take you? Nowhere else but to Somló! To an extinct volcano, a short distance from Balaton, where mass tourism has not yet invaded and where the best wines are born from the volcanic rocks. Here me, Kata, and our little country home Barrique are waiting for you. A house for two. For those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of civilization, a view of the colorful palette of the vineyards and the surrounding countryside. Wine on your doorstep, the stars overhead and who knows, maybe even the waters of the Balaton for a summer refreshment.

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.
