Orchardviews Studio Flat - Self Catering Holiday Apartment in Budapest
Apartment with 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 2
The studio flat is part of Orchardviews House which is set in its own grounds in a pretty location down a quiet and leafy lane in the hills of Budapest. Yet with a bus stop round the corner it is only 20 minutes from the city centre. The house, completely enlcosed and surrounded by trees, stands in half an acre of gardens flanked by grape vines. There is also an apartment in the grounds to let (for details of this see the separate advertisement in the 'Apartments' section of Holidaylets.net
In front of the house are flower beds in bloom for 7 months of the year. Lawns, dotted abundantly with apple, pear, cherry, plum, hazelnut and walnut trees, stretch away to the side and rear of the house. Set well back from the road, Orchardviews enjoys real peace and tranquility.
People come to Budapest for many reasons: To visit the numerous spas: there are plenty of baths, many in splendid architectural settings, with proven cures for a variety of ailments; To visit the sites of this beautiful city; To enjoy its rich culture and spicy cuisine.
Orchardviews is perfectly located for all of this. You enter the studio flat through your own glass-panelled door into the sitting room.

Ideal for drinks, snacks and rests throughout the day. 5 minutes' walk away is a small supermarket and nearby an excellent restaurant. To eat and shop in more style take the bus for 10 minutes to Moszkva tér and the vast Mammut shopping mall with its huge range of shops and restaurants.

Local activities in and around Budapest, Budapest
Budapest, with its wide avenues, Art Nouveau style and streetside cafes is reminiscent of Paris. It is in fact 2 cities, Buda with its castle, and Pest. These sit astride the great River Danube. There is a wealth of activities on offer. Take your choice:
Walks: The Castle District, the jewel of Buda: take a cable car and visit the Royal Palace and exquisite St Mathias Church, wander down narrow cobbled streets past old listed buildings, enjoy panoramic views across the Danube to Pest; Pest old town; Andrássy út (the Champs Élysées of Budapest); Margaret Island in the Danube, perfect for strolling, swimming pools and bike hire etc. The Budapest Hills: to see these and get a spectacular view of the city take the Cogwheel Railway, or the Chairlift up to János Hill (Budapest's highest point), or the Children's Steam Railway (run largely by children!) which climbs up into the hills.
Sites: The Chain Bridge; Parliament; St Stephen's Basilica; the splendid neo-classical Central Market (Buy almost anything here!); Wonderful Museums like the National Museum and National Gallery; The Opera House. To name just a few.
Thermal Spas: Hungary is famous for these, many in beautiful architectural settings. Spend a lazy day in the famous Széchenyi or Gellért and feel those aches and pains ease away.
Cafes and Restaurants: Hungarians love to sit and talk over coffee and cakes (tea too!). And so must you if you are to get the feel of this city! Experience spicy Hungarian cuisine at a restaurant by the Danube at night with the castle lit up high on the far bank, and be serenaded by gypsy fiddlers.
Excursions: Boat trips on the Danube. Or drive: to Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe and ideal for swimming and boating; to Szentendre, a beautifully preserved little town on the Danube; to Székesfehérvár, the ancient capital of Hungary; to the Danube Bend, with the Danube on one side and misty forested hills rising up on the other. And so much more.
From the airport take a taxi or airport minibus direct to Orchardviews. By public transport take a metro to Moszkva tér then a 156 bus to the end of the line. Orchardviews is 2 minutes' walk away.
