The region of Simontornya, Hungary, is lush with rolling hillsides, beautiful mountainside estates and wildlife including deer, rabbits and ducks. Simontornya — translated as Simon’s Tower — began in the 1200s with the construction of a single tower in the swamps of the Sio river. Over time, the tower underwent multiple renovations and additions as the village expanded, including a Gothic wing, Renaissance enhancements and military upgrades when Turks took over the building. The people around Simontornya Castle formed a small Hungarian community of fewer than 5,000 people. During World War II, Simontornya was occupied by the Germans, soon followed by the Russians. Today, the town stands proudly in Tolna County.

Hotel Check-in Requirements

By booking this DreamTrip I understand that the hotel may request a credit card upon check-in.

By booking, I acknowledge having received notice of this potential charge and accept that Rovia™ recommends a credit card rather than a debit or bank card be used in the event the hotel requests the card. I understand that any such request made by the hotel is outside of the control of Rovia and is strictly a hotel policy. Should I have questions concerning the hotel’s policy, I accept responsibility for contacting the hotel independent of Rovia.
