PEAR TREE COTTAGE The Pear Tree Cottage is the revival of a shabby little village home, the first to have been renovated in the line of our cottages. The sun shines over the vintage wooden bench on the porch from early morning, yet the best place for sunbathing might be the little verandah embraced by transom-windows. In the garden, just in line with the wooden bench, a pear tree bears its juicy, yellowish fruit. The house welcomes its guests with three cosy, fully equipped rooms each with separate bathrooms. As it is with country homes, the kitchen is the central part of the house with a rough built stove shedding heat. The table is covered with red-white chequered tablecloth supplying plenty of space for all the self-made delicacies such as "komperos"-soup, "nancika" and "didelle". We would be glad to provide you with the recepies! Alsópetény, often mentioned as Switzerland of the Cserhát, lies hidden in the hills of the South-Cserhát. The perfect venue for those seeking relaxation and leisure. You shouldn’t just pass through this little village! It is well worth a stop and getting acquainted with. From the church-hill, the village offers a spectacular sight with breathtaking sunsets and fresh crisp air. While wandering the neighbourhood you may stumble on exciting historical curiosa. Also, there are several tracks awaiting hikers and those looking for a pleasant stroll in a beautiful natural environment with the fishing -lake Cser reflecting the surrounding hills. Although Alsópetény with its population of 680 people lies out of the way of international highways, it is easily accessible from Budapest or Vác by a one-hour bus ride. LAVENDER COTTAGE The cottage owes its name to the thick lavender shrubs of exquisite fragrance to be planted along the fence as soon as the finishing touches have been added to the newly renovated house. The cottage has two separate parts with two double bedrooms in each. That makes four rooms at our guests' service.
