Mediterranean Villa with Panoramic Views in Tihany

This elegant three-storey villa sits in one of Tihany's most exclusive locations, surrounded by mature trees and close to the beach, harbour and Tihany Abbey. Built in the 1980s, the property offers spectacular south-facing panoramic views over Lake Balaton and the northern shore. Recent comprehensive renovation has replaced all utilities, external insulation and interior finishes while preserving its distinctive Mediterranean character. The villa stands on a 915 m2 plot within developed land, with terraced landscaping and an irrigation system. The main house features a modern kitchen, dining area, pantry and staff quarters on the ground floor, plus a summer kitchen and covered terrace for entertaining. The first floor holds a spacious living room with triple-glazed panoramic windows, one bedroom, bathroom, dressing room and a 47 m2 terrace. The second floor attic contains two further bedrooms and a bathroom, opening onto a shared 12 m2 balcony. Two electronically operated garages (67 m2 and 27 m2) provide secure parking and storage. A newly installed glass-walled lift connects the garage to the main entrance; alternatively, a professionally constructed natural stone staircase leads through the garden. The entire property is alarm-protected. The mature garden has been thoughtfully planted with Mediterranean species suited to the local climate. Tihany is one of Hungary's most beautifully situated villages, occupying a peninsula that juts into Lake Balaton. The Tihany Benedictine Abbey, founded by King Andrew I in 1055, stands in the village centre. The abbey's founding charter contains the earliest surviving record of the Hungarian language.
