About the Villa

Villa Mimi radiates tranquillity and a family atmosphere. It thrives on attention to detail.

Villa Mimi is a journey through time from the exclusive modernity on the upper floor to the old days of the k & k monarchy, which can be felt on the ground floor. The large garden, the small number of rooms, the location of the house set far back from the street and the botanical garden of the University of Sopron as a direct neighbour create the special tranquillity and unique atmosphere in this accommodation.

There is no reception and to enter Villa Mimi you will be given the access code to the property and house in advance, so you can arrive whenever it suits you from 2 pm. If there is no staff in the house, we are still always available for you. On the ground floor, the lobby invites you to chat or simply read.

History of Villa Mimi

Villa Mimi was built in 1881 and served as the family residence for a long time. In the 1990s, Dr Martin Lichtl, who was born in Swabia (Germany) and whose parents grew up in Sopron, took over the house from his aunt. Even as a child, he used to spend his summer holidays at his aunt’s house in Sopron.

With the help of architect Rosta Csaba, the family home was converted into accommodation with six rooms. The house was opened to the public in 1995. Since then, the owner and his team have continued to develop Villa Mimi and its garden.
