Gróf Degenfeld Castle Hotel – Tarcal, Hungary

Located in the Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region, this converted mansion is perfect for the wine-lover looking for a relaxing getaway. The mansion previously held a sommelier school, and when the region’s tourism grew, the Degenfeld family, who had owned the property for many years, converted the building into a hotel. The family is very involved in the hotel’s operations and continues to promote tourism in the area.

While the hotel’s rooms may not offer the most astounding luxury, there is a pool, tennis court, and bicycle rental on-site, and the staff’s attentiveness and service goes above and beyond. The property’s dining options will please any discerning foodie, and you will definitely depart with a higher level of wine knowledge. Rooms start from $115.
