Timea’s home in Balsa was nothing short of a little paradise for our family.
From the moment we arrived, our son didn’t want to leave. He happily spent all three days just enjoying the house and garden.
The yard was filled with fruit trees, a beautifully cared-for garden full of Timea’s personal touch, and a treasure trove of fun things for kids: from badminton, scooters, billiards, and pool gear to board games. Every morning, we’d kick off the day playing badminton or tennis right in the yard.
At the heart of it all was the swimming pool, which made our holiday absolutely perfect. Add to that the cutest little dog, Mici, and some chickens freely roaming the garden, it truly felt like an organic, peaceful haven.
When we arrived, Timea welcomed us with a freshly baked Hungarian pie that was so delicious we finished the whole thing in one sitting! As if that wasn’t enough, the welcome gift of Tokaji wine and sweet little strawberries from the garden completely melted our hearts.
The location is also great. Famous Tokaj wineries are just a relaxed 25-minute drive away, and there are several supermarkets within a 10-minute drive. For something quick, there’s a Coop market just 5 minutes away on foot where you can pick up lunch or dinner items easily.
Timea checked in with us every morning and evening to make sure we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to welcome her family to Dubai and return the incredible kindness and hospitality they gave us.
Her home in beautiful Balsa completely gave us some of the best memories of our time in Hungary.
