Grof Degenfeld Castle Hotel

Upon discovery of our family's ancestry originating from the nearby village of Erdobenye, we decided to make the journey from the US having read some positive things about Grof Degenfeld. We were not disappointed. While our stay took place in December, so many of the summer amenities were not available, I can say that the grounds themselves were beautiful, well maintained, and a joy to walk around. The dinner menu was varied enough to provide us with unique dining options each night of our 3 night stay. The staff was very helpful and extremely courteous. While English was spoken by a majority of the staff, some were better at it than others, but every request we had was fulfilled. This included use of the hotel Van and driver that took us each day to the nearby town of Erdobenye AND picked us up. The wines were delicious and the wine tour was a complete joy, made so in no small part by our delightful guide, Daniel. I cannot say enough about Daniel and his tremendous spirit and work ethic, and his vast knowledge of wines. Make sure to request this young man and tip him and his co-workers well as they work HARD and due to circumstances in Hungary, are not paid nearly enough for their efforts. A huge thank you to Daniel and the rest of the staff for all they did for us!
