The villa of the renowned writer Jókai is a single storey building

dated 1870. It is a monument and the plate of the monument dates the

villa and tells us that it was built in early eclectic style, in a

2-3-2 axes system with a risalit in the middle and closed terrace. It

was 20 years long property of the writer and he wrote here the novel

“The Man With The Golden Touch” (Az Aranyember) a part of the action

of which takes place on the shore of laka Balaton. Today the building

is a museum and can be visited also in the interior (other photos),

for photographs there is a little fee. The villa has a garden with old

trees and a statue. One of the trees, paulownia tolmentosa, 120 years

old, 13 m tall, with a crown of 65 m² is protected.
