Káli Art Inn is in Köveskál at Fő utca 8, in one of the prettiest villages of the Káli Basin. A guesthouse and restaurant with a well-kept country garden, white tablecloths, floral porcelain and antique furniture. You don’t drop in here between two programmes: breakfast or dinner is the programme.
Breakfast and dinner
The Káli breakfast is served daily from 8 to 11: local cow’s, goat’s and sheep’s cheeses, hams, salamis, fresh pastries, homemade yoghurt with seasonal fruit, a made-to-order omelette and specialty coffee. To be eaten slowly, picking and choosing.
From Thursday to Saturday evening there’s a four-course seasonal dinner drawing on Hungarian cooking and local ingredients, with a modern eye. It costs 22,300 HUF per person, including mineral water and coffee or tea. Vegetarian and other special menus are made by prior arrangement.
The garden
Romantic, calm, elegant, for a long weekend or a leisurely breakfast with friends. There’s a playground for hotel guests.
Good to know
As a non-resident, arrange breakfast and dinner in advance, subject to availability. Booking is required for dinner, as the kitchen preps for the number of guests. The menu is fixed and prices are premium. Pets aren’t accepted. Ask about parking in advance.
Who it’s for
Couples on a romantic Káli weekend and anyone who loves long, producer-led breakfasts.
The person behind the place
Hospitality and art
In Köveskál, Júlia Molnár and Róbert Héjja created a place where a beautifully laid table, good food, nature and art sit side by side. Besides Káli Art Inn, they also dreamed up and support the Káli Art-Park.

Local tip
Don't rush breakfast
The breakfast alone is worth a visit. For a more special evening, book the four-course dinner, and as a non-resident arrange both in advance.
