History of the hotel in Füred
Annuska villa
Balatonfüred, the jewel of the north shore of Lake Balaton. The same lake, yet a completely different atmosphere, the hundred-year-old peaceful villas, the Tagore promenade and the hundred-year-old chestnut orchard create an atmosphere that is unrivalled not only on the shores of Lake Balaton, but also in Hungary.
According to a Hindu legend, if you plant a tree in your old age, you will live to see it fall down. Rabindranath Tagore, the eponym of the promenade, who planted a tree on the promenade to commemorate his recovery at the State Heart Hospital in Balatonfüred, died only fourteen years later at the age of 80. The tree has since grown very large, as have the celebrities who have followed the poet’s example and planted other trees. In addition to Tagore, Balatonfüred is also home to many other notable personalities, including politicians, poets, Nobel laureates, and several statues and busts.
The name Annuska in the name of the Boutique Hotel Annuska is no coincidence, the villa was built in 1983. The villa was built by the merchant Károly Koller in 1868, who had a delicatessen in Füred. The villa is originally called Koller-lak, but in 1896 it was already known as Annuska Holiday Home, and was called so in the following years. In 1904 the villa originally had 3 separate apartments with servants’ rooms , in the summer of 1930 Annuska Villa was bought by the Real Grammar School Teachers’ Association and converted into a holiday home, after nationalisation it was used by the SZOT as a Pedagogical Holiday Home. In 1995 it was privately owned again and since then it has been used as a hotel.
