Tarcal Hotels, Hungary

The history and fortunes of Grof Degenfeld is entwined with the vineyards of the Tokaj region where the volcanic subsoil, south-facing slopes and unique micro climate create the perfect environment for viticulture. Count Imre Degenfeld was one of the founders of The Wine Association of Tokaj-Hegyalja in 1857. The hotel that takes his name is a country house set in a once-royal estate adjacent to its own vineyard. Air-conditioned throughout, it recalls the elegance of 19th century baroque in space, design and furniture. The suite and 20 luxury rooms are well-appointed with splendid oversized bathrooms. The restaurant has a terrace that is much in demand on warm summer days. The regional cuisine begs for gastronomic adventure aided and abetted by delicious wines. There is also a wine bar where you will learn new pleasures. Other pastimes include tennis, a swimming pool, cellar tours and more wine tastings. More on the Grof Degenfeld Castle Hotel...
