Villa Kabala

A hilltop villa above Lake Balaton that once belonged to Hungarian painter István Farkas, now a destination restaurant with rooms run by an ambitious couple. The tasting menu leans hard into the hyperlocal: cheese, salami, sausages, beer, and wine all come from the family, and they roast their own coffee too. Book a terrace bedroom and stay for breakfast, which at this point is practically a moral obligation.
