Picture this: it's a Friday evening in late June, and you've just pulled off the E18 onto the quiet lane that winds through the birch trees toward Mellansundet. The windows are down. The air smells of pine resin and lake water. By the time you step out of the car, the stress of the week genuinely feels like it happened to someone else. That's what owning a place like this does to you. Mellansundet 5 sits in one of those rare pockets of Swedish lakeside life that doesn't announce itself on any tourist map. This is a 40-square-metre, two-bedroom holiday cottage on the shores of Lake Mälaren—Scandinavia's third-largest lake—less than 50 metres from the water's edge, yet only a short drive from the centre of Västerås. It was built in 1967, and it carries that era's sensibility: compact, considered, nothing wasted. It's in good condition and genuinely move-in ready, the kind of place you can arrive at on a Thursday night with a bag of groceries and immediately feel at home. The interior is arranged so that every square metre pulls its weight. Two bedrooms, a shower room, a kitchen with enough counter space to actually cook in, and a living room with large windows that frame the surrounding greenery like a painting that changes with the seasons. In July those windows glow with green light filtered through mature deciduous trees. By late September, the same view turns amber and rust. When snow sits on the branches in February, you'll understand why Swedes invented the concept of mys—that particular indoor coziness that has no real English translation. The conservatory is the room that catches most people off guard. It's a glass-enclosed extension that acts as a buffer between indoors and out—warm enough to sit in with a coff ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning in Joesjö and the air hits you differently. It's cold even in midsummer, sharp with pine resin and the faint iron smell of the stream running beside the lappkåta. The silence isn't empty—it hums with birdsong, the soft creak of the cabin settling in the warmth, and about 250 meters through the trees, the sound of Övre Jovattnet lapping at its stony shore. This is Swedish Lapland at its most honest. No curated Instagram version of it. The real thing. The cabin at Joesjö 318 was built in 2005 and it wears its age lightly—well-kept, solid, move-in ready. From the moment you walk through the door, the ceiling grabs your attention. It rises all the way to the roof ridge, opening the living space upward in a way that feels genuinely generous for a 70-square-meter footprint. Large windows pull the forest inside without you having to go anywhere. The kitchen flows naturally from the living room, and you can watch the lappkåta sitting quietly across the stream while you wait for the kettle to boil. There are two bedrooms on the main level—calm, practical, well-proportioned. Above them, a loft adds sleeping space for kids or visiting friends, the kind of flexible setup that makes a mountain cabin feel like it can absorb however many people turn up. The bathroom has a sauna. Of course it does. This is Sweden. But it's worth saying clearly: finishing a day of hiking up Norra Storfjällets trails and stepping into that heat is not just pleasant. It's transformative. Your legs stop arguing with you. Everything quiets down. Directly across from the main cabin, on its own separate plot included in the sale, stands the lappkåta. This traditional Sami-style structure is something genuinely rare to find in ... click here to read more

Sometime around midsummer, the sky above Ödeborg Stommen never fully darkens. By ten at night there's still a warm amber glow sitting low over the meadow to the west, and the only sound is the occasional rustling of birch leaves and a woodpecker working somewhere deep in the tree line. That's the daily reality of owning this 1837 Swedish torp cottage — not a concept, not a marketing angle, just a genuinely quiet piece of Västra Götaland that costs less to run per year than most city dwellers spend on coffee. Set on a 1,736 square meter plot along the rural road at Ödeborg Stommen 5, just outside Färgelanda, this single-bedroom country home sits in a part of Sweden that doesn't get overrun in July. The Bohuslän coast draws the crowds — Strömstad, Smögen, Grebbestad — but this corner of inland Dalsland stays calm. You share the landscape with red-painted farm buildings, elk at the forest edge, and the occasional tractor. For buyers hunting a vacation home in Sweden that feels genuinely off the beaten path rather than performatively rustic, this is the real thing. The cottage is compact at 30 square meters, split across two rooms, and that's precisely the point. There's no maintenance burden here, no sprawling house demanding weekends of upkeep. A wood-burning stove handles cool evenings with the satisfying crackle that central heating simply cannot replicate. An air-to-air heat pump — controllable via smartphone — means you can turn the place on before you arrive in October and step into a warm room after a two-hour drive from Gothenburg. Running costs for the entire year run to roughly 4,200 SEK. For context, that's around €370. That's it. The robotic lawn mower handles the garden autonomously, so your weekends here sta ... click here to read more

On a still July morning, you step off the wooden deck in bare feet, coffee in hand, and walk 350 meters through birch trees to the private sandy beach at Lejondalssjön. The lake is glassy and cold and yours. Nobody else is up yet. This is what owning a country home in Stentorp, Upplands-Bro actually feels like. Svärdsvägen 4 is a 1955 red-painted cottage that sits on 2,275 square meters of private garden in one of the most quietly coveted lake communities within striking distance of Stockholm. At 34 square meters, the main house is compact by any standard — but the Swedish tradition of small, well-planned living spaces was never better applied. Every square meter works hard. The living room centers on a wood-burning stove that keeps things genuinely warm during October evenings when the colors outside turn amber and rust. Large windows frame that garden and the tree line beyond it, so even on grey November days there's a sense of being inside a landscape painting rather than a house. The kitchen is straightforward and functional — enough counter space to cook a proper meal, enough room to not bump into whoever's doing the dishes. The single bedroom is calm and quiet, the kind of sleep you don't get in the city. Outside, the oversized deck is where life really happens in summer. Long dinners that drift into long evenings. Books abandoned after three pages. The garden behind it is half-wild, half-cultivated — mature trees providing canopy, open patches of lawn inviting a hammock or a kitchen garden if you're inclined. What separates this property from most Swedish country cottages is the additional infrastructure already in place. The separate guest cottage comes with its own bathroom, which means visitors are comfortab ... click here to read more

Saturday morning, the coffee is already made. You carry your mug out onto the wide wooden deck and the forest is right there — birch and pine, close enough to hear the wind move through it. A woodpecker hammers somewhere out of sight. The cul-de-sac at Torsborg is completely still. No passing traffic, no sirens. Just the slow, unhurried feel of a Swedish summer morning doing exactly what it's supposed to do. This 1958 country home on the elevated end plot of Torsborg sits on a generous 1,638 square meters of garden and woodland-edge land in the Torsborg area of Eskilstuna — a location that doesn't get talked about enough outside Sweden, which is partly why properties here still represent genuine value. At 89,500 EUR for a move-in-ready holiday home with a guest cottage, fiber internet, and 35 square meters of well-kept interior space, this is the kind of find that serious second-home buyers move on quickly. The house itself is compact and considered. One bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen that works hard for its size, and a living room centered around a modern air-source heat pump that handles both the warmth of late-autumn visits and the cooling relief of a July heatwave. Large windows face the garden, and the light on a long Swedish summer evening is something you genuinely can't replicate — the sun barely sets, casting that particular Nordic gold across the wooden floors for hours. It doesn't feel small. It feels edited. Everything here has a purpose. What the footprint lacks in size, the land more than compensates for. The plot wraps around the house with room for a kitchen garden, a hammock between the pines, a fire pit on the far edge — whatever you want to make of it. The deck is wide and south-facing, and if you ... click here to read more

The wood-burning stove is already crackling when you pull on your boots and step outside into a Södermanland morning. Frost on the grass. Birch trees catching the low autumn light. Not a sound except a crow somewhere in the spruce forest behind the meadow. This is Marö Lillhult — a small red cottage on a generous stretch of land just outside Gnesta, and the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever needed anything more complicated than this. Set on 1,930 square meters of open plot, the cottage itself is 60 square meters of honest Swedish country living. Classic falu red exterior, white trim, a small veranda facing the garden — the look is straightforward and entirely at home against the rolling landscape of central Södermanland. It's been well maintained, and while it carries the authentic character of a traditional Swedish sommarstuga, it's genuinely in good condition and ready to use from day one. Step inside and the wooden floors creak just enough to feel real. Paneled walls, low ceilings, afternoon light slanting through windows that frame views of your own meadow and the treeline beyond. The ground floor has a hallway, a kitchen with everything you need to cook a proper meal, and a living room where that wood stove does serious work on cold evenings. One bedroom sits on the ground floor; a second sleeping area with sloped ceilings waits upstairs — the kind of room where children insist on claiming the best spots, and adults sleep better than they have in months. A practical note worth being upfront about: the cottage runs on summer water and uses an outdoor privy rather than indoor plumbing. For many buyers, that's not a compromise — it's precisely the point. Sweden has a deep cultural relationship with th ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first. Cut grass, sun-warmed pine, and somewhere behind the old apple tree, the faint salt of the Baltic coast drifting in over the garden wall. You're standing on the glass veranda at Söderängsvägen 2, coffee in hand, watching a pair of starlings argue in the birch tree. It's not even eight in the morning and you already know — this is exactly what you were looking for. Set on a generous 3,019-square-meter plot outside Östhammar in Sweden's Uppsala County, this classic red-painted country cottage is the kind of property that doesn't need to try hard. Forty square meters of honest, well-kept living space in the main house. A separate guest cottage. A proper woodshed. A garden that took years of patient hands to get this good. And the sea — close enough that cycling to the communal bathing area takes less time than finishing your morning newspaper. The main cottage has the proportions of a traditional Swedish sommarstuga but with enough in the right places. The living room holds both a dining table and a sofa corner without feeling cramped, anchored by a wood-burning stove that turns October evenings into something genuinely atmospheric. The kitchen is compact and functional — the kind of space where you make smörgås for everyone after a swim, not where you host a dinner party. The single bedroom is quiet and set back from the garden, and the natural light through the afternoon is the kind that makes naps feel earned. The glass-enclosed veranda is the real heart of this property. It faces south over the garden and acts as a room in its own right from April through October — warmer than outside but fully connected to it. You can watch the light change over the flower beds from a lounger, track thunder ... click here to read more

On a still September morning, the kitchen window at Vargmossevägen 44 frames a wall of birch trees already tipping gold. The coffee is on the stove. Somewhere out past the tree line, a woodpecker is working at something. This is what a Swedish country home actually feels like — not a postcard version of it, but the real, quiet, deeply restorative thing. Almunge sits roughly halfway between Uppsala and Arlanda Airport in the rolling, lake-dotted countryside of Uppsala municipality. It's one of those villages that locals guard without advertising too loudly. The pace here is genuinely different. People wave from tractors. The air smells of pine resin and damp earth after rain. And once you've spent a weekend in this part of Uppland, the idea of going back to city noise starts to feel faintly absurd. The house on Vargmossevägen was built in 1971 and has been maintained with evident care. At 48 square meters of living space plus an additional 16 square meters of auxiliary area, it's honest about what it is: a well-proportioned two-bedroom country home designed for people who want to actually be outside, not just look at the garden through floor-to-ceiling glass. The two bedrooms are comfortable and properly sized for couples, small families, or friends visiting from abroad. The living room is the kind of space where board games come back out and phones stay face-down on the table. Large windows run throughout the main living areas, and in the afternoon the western light comes through with that particular warmth that high-latitude summers produce — long, low, golden, lasting until nearly 10pm in June. The kitchen is functional and well laid out, with room to cook properly. Not a show kitchen, but a working one, which is ex ... click here to read more

Step off the road between Fardhem and Linde on a still June morning and you'll hear it first — the absolute quiet. Not the silence of emptiness, but the full, living quiet of 3.4 hectares of mature garden, open fields, and old forest pressing in from every side. This is Gotland at its most unhurried, and this 1909 wooden farmhouse sits right in the middle of it. Built when Swedish craftsmen still fitted houses with hand-planed wooden floors and deep-set windows designed to hold the long Nordic light, this three-bedroom country home has spent over a century earning its character. The bones are solid. The atmosphere is unmistakable. At 94 square metres of living space, plus an additional 44 square metres of secondary area, the house is compact in the way that Swedish farmhouses always were — every room deliberate, nothing wasted. The original wooden floors creak in exactly the right places. Windows frame views of the farmyard and fields beyond like paintings that change with every season. The property needs work — that's stated plainly here because buyers who find this listing will appreciate honesty over gloss. Maintenance has been deferred over the years, and the kitchen in particular is ready for a proper overhaul. But that's precisely why this is such a rare find on the Gotland second home market. Properties with this much land, this many original features, and this kind of quiet address almost never come available at this price point. Buyers who've been priced out of the increasingly competitive Visby market have been quietly turning their attention south, and Hemse-area farmhouses like this one are exactly what they're looking for. The outbuildings deserve a paragraph of their own. Several former agricultural stru ... click here to read more

Six o'clock on a July evening. The sun is still high enough to throw long gold stripes across the southwest-facing terrace, your glass is cold, and the only sound drifting over the farmland is a distant tractor and the swallows cutting arcs above the garden. That's the rhythm of Utvedavägen 152 — and once you've felt it, city life stops making as much sense. Vätö is one of those places that Stockholmers have quietly kept to themselves for decades. The island sits within the greater Stockholm archipelago, connected to the mainland by the Vätö Bridge, close enough to the capital that a Friday afternoon drive gets you here before dinner, far enough that you genuinely leave the week behind. The community of Utveda, where this property sits, is the kind of place where the roads are narrow on purpose and the neighbors actually know each other. The house itself was built in 1973 and has been kept in good condition — solid, practical, honest Swedish construction that doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. Seventy-six square meters spread across three bedrooms and a full living-dining-kitchen setup. The layout is sensible rather than showy: a proper hallway that keeps the mud outside, a kitchen fully kitted with dishwasher, oven, stove, fridge, and a dedicated dining area big enough for a family gathering, and a bathroom with shower and WC that handles the realities of summer living without complaint. This is not a renovation project. Move in, open the windows, start living. What makes the property is the land around it. The corner plot runs to 2,229 square meters — in Swedish archipelago terms, that's genuinely generous. The garden opens out toward surrounding farmland, giving you sightlines that feel much bigger than the b ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a June morning at Skogsta 15 is the light. It hits the south-facing slope around five in the morning, floods through the glazed veranda, and turns the whole kitchen amber before anyone else in Hudiksvall is awake. The wood-burning stove is still warm from the night before. The coffee is on. Outside, the chickens in the old barn have started their morning racket. That's the kind of life this place makes possible. Set on 2.2 hectares of gently sloping land just six kilometres from central Hudiksvall in Sweden's Gävleborg County, this three-bedroom country home from 1940 sits on elevated ground surrounded by birch forest, open grass, and a working barn that's earned its keep through the decades. It's priced at €192,000 — a rare entry point for this much land and this much sky in coastal central Sweden. The house itself is 125 square metres across two floors, and it reads exactly as it should: solid, cared-for, practical without being cold. Walk through the front door and you land in a generous hallway — the kind where muddy boots and winter coats have their place. The kitchen has a proper island, a wood-burning stove for damp autumn days, and a full set of modern appliances including a dishwasher, oven, and extractor fan. It's not a kitchen you renovate; it's a kitchen you cook in. The living room on the ground floor has its own wood-burner and enough floor space for a real dining table, not an afterthought. A shower room with toilet and washbasin sits conveniently off the entrance level, and laundry facilities mean you don't have to choose between the countryside lifestyle and basic convenience. Upstairs, two bedrooms — one currently doing duty as a walk-in wardrobe — sit alongside an unfin ... click here to read more

Close your eyes for a moment and picture this: it's a Saturday morning in July, the Swedish summer sun already warming the old wooden floorboards by 7am, and the only sound reaching you through the open kitchen window is birdsong and the faint rustle of birch leaves. That's not a fantasy. That's a typical morning at Högaholma 2279. This 1909 torp — the classic Swedish word for a small country cottage — sits on a quiet country lane just outside Markaryd in Kronoberg County, about 1.7 kilometres from the shores of Bröna Lake. It's the kind of place where the pace of life adjusts itself naturally, almost without you noticing. You arrive on a Friday afternoon still carrying the tension of city schedules, and by Sunday you genuinely can't remember what you were so stressed about. The main house covers 80 square metres, and it's used every centimetre wisely. Original wooden floors run throughout — the kind that creak slightly underfoot, warm with more than a century of family life. A wood-burning stove anchors the living room, and in October when Småland's forests turn every shade of copper and amber, you'll understand exactly why that stove is the heart of the house. The kitchen is a practical pleasure: custom-built painted cabinetry that feels rooted in the cottage's heritage without being fussy or impractical. Large windows pull the outside in, so the garden's changing moods become part of the interior atmosphere in every season. Then there's the guest house. A more recently built addition, it has two rooms, a WC, and a compact kitchenette — enough that visiting family or friends get genuine privacy rather than being squeezed onto a pull-out sofa. This is the detail that changes everything about how you can use the prope ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in late June, and the light in Södermanland at 6am is already golden and warm. You step out through the old wooden door of a 1909 torp, coffee in hand, and the only sounds are birdsong and a light wind moving through the birch trees at the edge of your land. The barn across the gravel road still has bunting from last night's midsommar party. That's the kind of morning this property delivers—not occasionally, but every time you show up. Mellösa-Näs Björktorp is a rare find in the Swedish countryside south of Flen, a genuine piece of rural Södermanland with soul intact. The main house is a classic Swedish torp dating from 1909, and it's been looked after the right way. Not ripped apart and modernized into something soulless—kept. Original pine floors, vintage hand-printed wallpapers, a tiled kakelugn in the sitting room, and a wood-burning stove that makes winter evenings here genuinely cozy rather than performatively rustic. Five rooms across 65 square metres: tight, yes, but Swedes have been doing a lot with compact spaces for centuries, and this layout is thoughtful. What sets this property apart from every other Swedish cottage listing, though, is the barn. Fully renovated, insulated, with solid flooring and oil radiators that make it usable in October just as comfortably as in July. The interior has been fitted with a proper dance floor and guest sleeping quarters—finished to a real standard, not a rough-and-ready conversion. Swedes who grow up in the countryside understand what this space means: it's where the crayfish parties run late into the August night, where a cousin's wedding happens under paper lanterns, where the neighbours come on a Friday in December for glögg and pi ... click here to read more

Early morning in Yxtaholm, the air smells like pine resin and cold lake water. You pull on a sweater, step off the wooden porch, and walk three minutes through a birch-lined path to Mellösasjön. Nobody else is there. The water is dark and clear. This is what you came for. Set on Kvarnmovägen in the well-loved recreational enclave of Yxtaholm, this 1970s Swedish sommarstuga sits on a generous 1,698 square metre plot in the heart of Södermanland — a region of glittering lakes, quiet forests, and red-painted farmhouses that feels like it exists slightly outside of time. At 109,500 SEK, this is a genuinely accessible entry point into the classic Swedish summer cottage lifestyle, the kind that Swedes have guarded jealously for generations. The cottage itself was built in 1975 and spans 48 square metres. That's not a limitation — it's a design philosophy. Swedish summer homes are meant to push you outside, and this one does exactly that. Inside, the layout is efficient and warm: a combined living room and kitchen that catches morning light through large windows overlooking the garden, one quiet bedroom tucked away from the main space, and a bathroom with shower. The kitchen has what you need to cook a proper meal — a crayfish dinner in August, a pot of soup on a rainy September afternoon — without the excess of a city apartment. A small guest cottage sits alongside the main house. Solid enough for a friend to sleep in, or useful as a tool store and overflow space for the kayak paddles and fishing rods that will inevitably accumulate. Practical Swedish pragmatism in a small wooden structure. The garden is the real story here. Nearly 1,700 square metres of it, mature trees throwing long shadows across mown grass in the late ... click here to read more

On a still July morning, you step out onto the west-facing terrace with a mug of coffee and hear almost nothing. A wood pigeon somewhere in the birches. The faint lap of water from Hällebosjön, ten minutes down the track. That's it. This is what brought you here, and it's exactly what you'll find every single time you return. Hällebo 907 sits in a quietly coveted pocket of Örebro County, outside the village of Pålsboda in Hallsbergs kommun. It's a genuine Swedish countryside retreat — 49 square metres of well-kept living space on a 1,100 square metre plot, updated steadily over recent years without losing any of its honest, unpretentious character. This is not a property tarted up for a quick sale. The roof was replaced in 2020. The facade and windows were repainted in 2024. The bathroom was fully renovated in 2024. The kitchen got quality IKEA fittings in 2022. Whoever owned this looked after it, and it shows. Walk inside and the layout makes immediate sense. The living room anchors itself around an open fireplace — not a decorative one, but the kind that genuinely heats the room on a grey October afternoon when the leaves outside have gone amber and the temperature drops before you expect it. The kitchen has enough workspace to properly cook, not just reheat things, and looks out toward the garden where, come August, the raspberry canes will be heavy enough to slow you down on the way to the woodpile. Two bedrooms handle family visits or a spare room for the one friend who always stays longer than planned. One bedroom was freshly painted in early 2025 and feels clean and light. The bathroom renovation in 2024 is worth mentioning twice. It's properly done — shower cabin, modern composting toilet (a Separett unit, com ... click here to read more

The alarm doesn't go off here. You wake up because the light does — that pale, golden Swedish summer light that slips through the curtains sometime around five in the morning and makes it impossible to stay in bed. So you pull on a sweater, step outside into the dewy garden, and walk the two-minute path down to Lake Toften before anyone else is up. The water is still. The pines are reflected perfectly on the surface. You dive in anyway. That's the daily reality of owning Östra Toften 216, a classic red-painted cottage sitting on a 1,000 square meter leased plot in a close-knit community of about forty similar summer homes just outside Östervåla in Uppsala County. It's compact — 34 square meters of living space — but Swedish summer cottage culture has never been about square footage. It's about being outside. The cottage is where you sleep, eat breakfast, and come in from the rain. The rest of your life here unfolds on the lake, in the forest, and around a fire in the garden. Built in 1968, the cottage has that honest simplicity that makes older Scandinavian summer homes so appealing. The living room is bright, with windows that pull in the tree light and make the small space feel larger than it is. It connects directly to the bedroom — a straightforward layout that works exactly as it should for a one or two-person getaway. The kitchen is practical and compact, built for the kind of cooking that actually happens at a summer cottage: coffee before the swim, pasta after the hike, maybe a proper crayfish spread in August with candles on the garden table. There's a storage shed on the plot for bikes, fishing gear, kayak paddles, and all the other paraphernalia that accumulates when you spend your summers outdoors properly. ... click here to read more

Step off the boat and onto your own dock. The Bothnian Bay stretches out ahead of you, flat and silver in the morning light, and the only sounds are the cry of a common tern and the soft knock of your hull against the jetty. This is Finskören — a small island in the Nyborg archipelago just outside Kalix in northern Sweden — and once you've spent a weekend here, it's genuinely hard to leave. What makes this offering so rare is the scale of it. You're not buying a cabin. You're acquiring two separate houses on a 2,778-square-metre plot with a private marina, multiple outbuildings, and your own freshwater well — all on an island that feels a world away from everything, yet sits within comfortable reach of the E4 motorway and Luleå Airport, roughly 90 kilometres south. The main house, built in 1998, covers 65 square metres and was designed with the view firmly in mind. The open kitchen and living area faces the sea, and the windows are large enough that you track weather systems moving across the bay without stepping outside. Three bedrooms make it workable for a family; the layout is sensible rather than fussy, which is exactly what you want in a place where you'll spend more time outdoors than in. On a clear July evening — and northern Sweden gets a lot of those, with daylight that barely quits between May and August — the light through those windows turns the pine floors the colour of honey. The first guest cottage is 60 square metres and positioned close to the marina. It has a living room, a bedroom, a shower, and a traditional Swedish bastu. That sauna matters more than it might sound. Spending a September afternoon out on the water, then sweating it out in the bastu before a cold plunge off the dock — that's the rh ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a Friday evening arrival is the silence. Not the uncomfortable kind—the kind that has depth to it, layered with the creak of pine, the distant pull of the Lagan river, and maybe a woodpecker going at a birch somewhere in the 5,000-square-meter plot that's entirely yours. You cut the engine, step onto the gravel, and already the week behind you starts to dissolve. Skogsstugan—"the forest cottage"—at Putsered 64 outside Knäred is the kind of second home that Swedes have quietly kept to themselves for generations. A proper year-round house, not a draughty summer shack. Built in 1974 and significantly extended in 1996, the 77-square-meter main home has been maintained with real care: quality Traryd insulated windows, a bathroom that was fully renovated in 2011, a heat pump installed for modern efficiency, and a Vissenbjerg wood-burning stove that makes winter weekends here genuinely cozy rather than just survivable. The wooden floors, paneled ceilings with wainscoting, and wallpapered walls give the interior a Scandinavian warmth that you don't get from places renovated to look like an IKEA showroom. This is a home with character that's earned rather than staged. The open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen form the social heart of the house. Large panoramic windows and double patio doors—new ones, high quality—open directly onto a stone-paved terrace laid in Öland limestone. On summer mornings, that terrace catches the light early. The covered section, roughly 12 square meters, has an outdoor kitchen, which means you're frying fish straight from the Lagan regardless of what the weather's doing overhead. The Kvik kitchen inside, fitted during the 1996 extension, comes with wooden counte ... click here to read more
