Villa Sissy

Keszthely


Sweet, quiet little pension in an old villa steps across from leafy Helikon Park. Simple rooms vary considerably: some have wood floors and stained-glass French doors, others dull carpet, but all feature small refrigerators. Some share bathrooms. The apartments are good value for families; the kitchen is shared.
