far away and yet close

On top of a mountain, far away and in complete silence and yet close to many interesting activities and cities. There are plenty of activities nearby. On the site, the customer can find around 50, but our host accompanies the guests every day in connection with their wishes. In addition, we are partners of a number of large organizers who welcome our guests with the necessary discounts.
On the ground floor toilet, living room, kitchen and wine cellar and terrace. On the mezzanine large bedroom with shower and terrace. On first floor bedroom with terrace.
There is a special fenced area for a dog (40m²) and a private swimming pool (3 x 3). Of course you can also use the large communal pool from here (50 m)
The house is located on a hill with two other houses. One occupied by the hosts, the other is also rented out. The houses are 100 meters apart and there is perfect privacy. The whole complex covers 30000 m² and has a view of a small lake. Maximum occupancy of the two houses are therefore 10 people. There is also a communal swimming pool. The house is completely fenced.
Your hostess can pamper you with culinary delights on request with an extensive breakfast or dinner at the traditional Hungarian price. This is of course not mandatory but a must ... Your host will inform you of the many attractions for young and old in the immediate vicinity.
Located on top of a hill with a beautiful panorama in a small village; rest radiating and rustic and yet half an hour from the tourist Balaton or the beautiful Kaposvar.
A refuge for anyone who wants to de-stress. Deer and roe deer roam free in this oasis of peace and quiet every day.

Erholsame Ferien abseits vom Balaton
Nach leichten Anlaufschwierigkeiten bei der Findung des FH wurden wir sehr nett von Rob und Tanja empfangen. Sogar ein Kinderpool für unseren 2-jährigen Enkel war schon aufgebaut. Auch der Pool war sehr sauber und wurde regelmäßig gereinigt. Das Haus selbst war zweckmäßig eingerichtet und reichte völlig aus. Zwei kleine Kritikpunkte habe ich trotzdem, in der Beschreibung steht, das ein DVD-Spieler zur Verfügung steht, wir haben zwar jede Menge DVD`s gefunden, aber keinen DVD-Spieler (da wir aber im Urlaub waren, brauchten wir auch keinen). Deshalb auch kein wirklicher Kritikpunkt. Wichtiger ist allerdings die Treppenabsicherung zum Balkonzimmer. Dort ist der Abstand zwischen dem unteren Brett und dem Fußboden zu groß, so dass wir unseren Enkel nicht allein die Treppe hoch- und runterlaufen lassen konnten. Das wäre gut, wenn ihr das mit einem zusätzlichen Brett sicher gestaltet. Ansonsten hat uns unser Urlaub gefallen und wir sind gut erholt wieder nach Hause gefahren. Vielen Dank an Tanja und Rob.

Oh mein gott
Wir sind am 04.11 angereist und am 05.11 abgereist. DS ganze Schlafzimmer war mit hunderten stinkwanzen übersät. Die Wangen waren in den Bettdecke , Kopfkissen, Matratzen zwischen jeder ritze im bettgestell. In jeder Schublade einfach überall. Nachdem wir im Schlafzimmer fertig waren , war uns klar das wir abreisen und hier nicht mehr schlafen. Wir haben dann im Wohnzimmer auf der Couch im sitzen übernachtet. Am liebsten wären wir schon direkt an dem Abend abgereist doch wir hatten zwei Katzen mit. Morgens am 05.11 wollten wir dann Brötchen machen doch im Backofen haben schon die stinkwanzen gewartet. Eckelig.. in der Küche waren sie auch überall. Auf Anfrage einer Rückerstattung bekamen wir nur ein" wieso ihr könnt ja hier schlafen, wir saugen die wanze jeden tag weg" dies haben wir so nicht akzeptiert. Eine Rückerstattung haben wir bis heute nicht erhalten... Wir werden dann wohl den Rechtsweg gehen. Schade eigentlich.. da die beiden sehr sympatisch waren... Bis zu dem Zeitpunkt ... Es kann doch nicht sein das ein Vermieter so etwas von jemanden verlangt, sorry....das ist laut unserem Rechtsanwalt unzumutbar..... Wir werden voneinander hören ...

Wir wurden von Tanja und Rob sehr herzlich empfangen und liebevoll umsorgt, wann immer wir etwas brauchten. Besonders das Frühstück war ein Gedicht. Robs selbst gebackenes Brot ist Weltklasse. Und die Pfannkuchen erst. Die Location liegt etwa in der Mitte zwischen dem hübschen Städtchen Kaposvar und dem Balaton. Ideal für alle, die einen ruhigen Ort suchen. Unser Hund hat sich ebenso wohl gefühlt, wie wir. Außerdem hat er in Lucky und Paddy zwei Hundekumpels gefunden, die wir gleich ins Herz geschlossen haben. Daumen hoch für diese Unterkunft. Danke Tanja und Danke Rob

Geweldig!
Mooi huisje, prachtige ligging en super gastvrije eigenaars!!! Als je gaat voor natuur, ruimte, relaxen is dit de 'place to be'. Verschillende gezellige stadjes en het balatonmeer op korte afstand. Michaela en Manu weten je de leukste activiteiten te wijzen. Wij raden deze plek van harte aan!!! Groetjes Folkert en Mary en John en Joke uit Nederland

De woning was in zeer goede staat met alles wat je nodig hebt. De eigenaars zijn zeer vriendelijk!
Ons verblijf in Polany is zeer goed en russtgevend geweest. Het huis was in goede staat, goed verzorgt en zeer proper. Hier bovenop waren de eigenaars super vriendelijk. Ze stonden altijd voor ons klaar, hielpen waar ze konden, gaven ons adresjes om te eten en regelde elke ochtend een heerlijk ontbijt voor ons. Ze kennen ook de leuke adresjes in de buurt om te bezichtigen en helpen je met het plannen van je vakantie. Hun gastvrijheid is immens en we hadden ons geen beter verblijf kunnen voorstellen!
