An open-air rooftop pool looks out toward Lake Balaton, and an indoor counter-current pool is kept at 26°C.
The spa
The domed relaxation lounge has curved daybeds, set beside Finnish saunas and a 38°C hydromassage jacuzzi.
The gym
Crafted wooden equipment from NOHRD and WaterRower includes curved Sprintbok manual treadmills and rowing benches.
Bar
Rooftop by Petit Bois
Floor-to-ceiling glass opens onto a terrace overlooking Lake Balaton for à la carte breakfasts and evening cocktails.
At the table

How it began
Originally constructed in 1908 as the Rodostó Villa, the restored retreat takes its French name from the neighboring Kiserdő park.
