What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Andrássy Kúria and Spa, despite its down-home, old-world setting in the picturesque, red-roofed hamlet of Tarcal, is a remarkably luxurious escape.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tarcal's red roofs and vineyards surround the estate, with historic Tokaj cellars a short drive down the road.

The rooms
Bedrooms use natural timber and muted textiles, with styling drawn from archival photos of the Andrássy family outdoors.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Twin water spouts pour into the colonnaded indoor pool, and a second swimming pool sits outdoors on the lawn.
The baths
The circular whirlpool sits under mosaic arches, beside an indoor thermal bath lined with fluted pillars and coffered ceilings.
The spa and gym
Exercise machines sit beside arched windows facing the courtyard, and the spa houses Finnish saunas and a salt room.
At the table
Talu serves regional Zemplén dishes like Mangalitsa pork beneath stone arches, with banquettes cushioned in woven tapestries.
How it began
Count Ferenc Károlyi acquired the manor in 1753, before the Andrássy family bought it as a hunting seat in 1830.
