It incorporates the earlier separated villages of Gardos-puszta, Irma-puszta and Angyalvár-telep.

It lies southwest of Marcali at the border between Somogy and Zala County.

It is separated from Nemesvid by the Forest of Gödörberk which consists mostly of oak trees.

It was owned by the Kanizsai family and was called as Gardus in 1395, then László Török acquired it in 1439, but he pawned it to András Csapi in 1464.

Later it was in the hands of János Bornemissza de Tolna deputy treasurer.
