Country house garden at Lake Balaton, Hungary

On a neglected hillside property, surrounded by vineyards, an idyllic country house garden was created around the old residential house. A fragrant rose garden with lavender and sage welcomes the guest and leads on to the cottage garden with its typical wicker border. Here, separated by paths of round pebbles, grow aromatic herbs, peppers, eggplants and tomatoes. In front of the house is the spacious fruit meadow, which invites you to play by the stream and have a picnic. Although it can get very cold here in winter, cherries, almonds, figs, quinces, peaches and mimosas thrive. The gentle babble of a small spring leads to the studio, which has found its place under an old walnut tree. In the middle of the garden, between the two thatched guest houses, is the apricot farm. In the shade of the trees you can relax and enjoy the hot summer days. The most beautiful place in the evening is the large terrace in front of the upper wine cellar at the highest point of the garden: from here you have a fascinating view over Lake Balaton.
