Escape to our Hungarian village house, where the simple joys of nature and the warmth of hygge living create the perfect countryside retreat. Nestled in the heart of the Koppány Valley, our lodge blends rustic charm with modern comfort, offering a peaceful sanctuary to slow down and reconnect. Whether you book the entire house for a private escape or choose from our cosy ensuite rooms or spacious suite with kitchen, every stay is designed to feel like a home away from home. Wake to birdsongs and misty morning views, spend your days exploring forest trails, spotting red deer, golden orioles, and white-tailed eagles, and unwind by the firepit under a canopy of stars. Our thoughtfully designed spaces embrace soft lighting, natural textures, and warm, inviting decor, creating an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation. Enjoy our self-serve café and mini bar, gather around the communal BBQ and pizza oven, or borrow a bike and cycle through the charming local villages. Spend a lazy day round our natural swim pond enjoying the views across the valley. For those looking to fully embrace a slower, nature-led lifestyle, we offer tailor-made Rewilding Sessions, curated to your interests. Whether it’s forest foraging, mindful nature walks, wildcrafting, or outdoor cooking, we create bespoke experiences to help you reconnect with nature at your own pace. Our Rewild Village Table events (available Thursday to Monday) bring guests together over seasonal, home-cooked meals, while nearby thermal spas offer the perfect way to soak away stress. Here, every detail is crafted around you—whether you seek adventure, deep relaxation, or a little of both. Let us know your preferences, and we’ll create a personalised escape that feels just right. Your hygge-inspired, tailor-made retreat awaits!
