Cserszegtomaj is a village between the town of Keszthely and the famous spa town Hévíz. The resort is situated 800m from the largest thermal lake in central Europe, where you can swim year round due to the water temperature.

Lake Balaton, with all its water sport facilities, is only 6 km. away. The area north of Lake Balaton is famous for its landscapes and vineyards. The town of Keszthely offers shopping facilities and a picturesque castle.

Please be sure to visit my lens on Club Dobogómajor as I've added more pictures there of the club and grounds.

What a wonderful place to stay in western Hungary. We were very fortunate to find this through a timeshare exchange.

It's not often I give a place a 4-star recommendation, but I'm highly endorsing this place.

Our cottage actually looked just like the one in the picture.

Keszthely is a Hungarian town of 23,000 inhabitants located on the western shore of Lake Balaton.

Though settled since at least Roman times, the first historical evidence of the town Keszthely dates from a 1247 document. Since 1421, Keszthely has been a market town.

Of interest to sightseers are Festetics Castle, built 1745, and the Balaton Museum, displaying geological and archaeological exhibitions.

My hubby took this particular picture.

The grounds surrounding and leading up to the Tofurdo spa, were beautifully-kept.

It was amazing to see the amount of organization that went into planting all these flowers.

According to an old legend, deep in the middle of Lake Balaton, there is a church with a girl inside, who is feeding the silky waters of the lake with her tears.

During our stay at The Marriott in Budapest, on the River Danube, the view was incredible.

This is a bit over-exposed view of Capitol Hill at night from our room!

This is the outside view of the train station in Budapest. We crossed under the street on our way to check out one of the major cemetaries.

We were blown away by the magnificence of this particular monument.

It was probably the most ornate, and expensive, of all the monuments in this particular Budapest cemetary.

The churches in the Hungarian countryside were usually pretty old and relatively gothic in structure. We came upon this particular church chapel quite by accident.

We stayed in Budapest at The Marriott on the River. Throughout our stay there, we'd sit at the open air cafe out back.

This particular violinist was there every evening playing his violin. I feel this picture truly captures the Hungarian feeling.

This is another picture that I feel captures the Hungarian "mood" in that this little girl is wearing a babushka!

The Sunday we were in Budapest, there was a festival at The Parliament building. A big area had been filled with sand where many children brought their buckets and shovels.

Situated in the old center of the city, the Dacia Hotel. It was built in 1902 upon the old City Hall location and the Royal Court. The Dacia Hotel complex is an architectonic jewel realized in Secession style, awarded in 1903 at a architectural exposition in Vienna.

Situated in the historical center of the city, the building recently renewed shelters recently this villa endowed with air-conditioning, sauna, mini bar, souvenir shop. Classic and elegant, the villa is entirely furnished with XIX century style antic furniture.

We stayed at this hotel and give it a HIGH recommend!

We found this artistically-interesting, tiled building a block or two from the center of the city of Satu Mare. It was near a marketplace and hub of activity. I'm currently researching more information about this building.
