About this property

Villa Drottningholm is a beautiful old house from the 17th century, stunningly located close to a horsefarm and the forest right outside with a perfect recreation area. The house is fully modern, carefully restored in a light, country, scandinavian style. It has it´s nice private ground, a newly renovated guesthouse with 2 single beds and a terrace. The property offers complete privacy. The bottomfloor consists of a livingroom with a fireplace, a large kitchen with complete equipment and a fireplace, and a laundryroom. The second floor has a TV-room, three bedrooms one with a kingsize bed, the others with a singlebed in each. A balcony with view over the horse meadow. There is also a nice bathroom with a yaccutzi. Outside in the garden there is a sauna which you heat with firewood. There is a smaller house fulltime rented on the property. They have their own garden and are very quiet, you will hardly take any notice of them.
Communications: Lovö church is 10 min. walk from Villa Drottningholm, from where the buses take you to Brommaplan (Metrostation) Driving a car will take 20 min,unless you choose the busy early morning traffic, between 7-8 am. A more beautiful way to go to the city is taking the classical steamboat leaving from the royal castle of Drottningholm. Takes 45 min. The castle where the royal family lives, is a must to visit itself. The fantastic garden is a popular target for picnics during the summer. Lovö/Drottningholm is an island sorounded by lake Mälaren. You can rent a boat, but it´s best to be arranged in advance.
Weather: Sweden has far lot better weather than it´s rumor. May, June, July and August hare the most stabil months to enjoy the country. The evenings are light, the sun rices extremely early and sets very late. Temp, around 20-25 C. Atumn is during sep-nov with clear skyes and beatiful colours. Dec-feb we will hopefully have snow, since we love celebrating a white Christmas. It is very cosy, especially in our oldfashioned house. We go countryskiing a lot, just outside the door. When spring comes we sit outside as much as we can, enjoying the light and the sun, the barbeque-season starts and is one of the most popular way of socializing in Sweden.

A perfect holiday

We have just rented this beautiful property for a week and wish we could have stayed much longer. The property is spacious and light, and has been lovingly restored and decorated by its owners to a very high standard. It is very well equipped, very comfortable, and set in a lovely, secluded part of the countryside where the only noise is the sound of the birds and the rustle of the wind in the trees. If you want peace and quiet this is perfect, yet still only a 25 minute drive to the centre of Stockholm. The owners, Britt and Mats, are friendly, welcoming and very helpful, even leaving a charged travel card for the local transport network. The property has magnificent views, with a wonderful balcony and summer room to have breakfast in the morning sun and a separate summer house with deck for lunch. We really enjoyed our stay here and would come back tomorrow. Be careful when following a satnav to get here however as it seems to want to take you down a very small, dirt track. Try to program in the address of the stables next door, then turn left!

Fantastic holiday home in an excellent location

We spent a wonderful week in this fantastic house. The owners were very welcoming and were always happy to answer any questions we had. The house is beautiful inside and contains everything you could possibly need. It is only a 20 minute walk to the edge of the lake where you can swim and just a short drive into Stockholm and the surrounding areas. I would highly recommend this property.

Marvellous location, top Housing and very kind and friendly landlord / landlady

We had a great time with our children in this - in every detail fully equiped - house. The place is quiet, near to the forest an the beautiful Mälaren (20 min walking distance). Stockholm by car or bus is very esay to reach. The house with its elegant furniture is an eyecatcher for itself. We can highly recommend Britt and her house. Choose it if you want what we were looking for: A quite lovely place to relax and on the other hand just jump into your car and get into the heart of Stockholm. Britt, we'll see us again! Hälsningar, Lars and family

tolle Mischung aus Stockholm und Landleben

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in einem sehr liebevoll gestalteten Haus. Zum Baden sind wir jeden Tag durch den für die Kinder abenteuerlichen Wald gelaufen. Anscheinend haben wir den schnellsten Weg nicht gefunden - wir haben ca. eine halbe Stunde gebraucht. Dafür würde man aber auch mit einem wunderschönen Schwimmerlebnis belohnt. Der Weg in die Innenstadt war gut machbar, so dass wir auch die Sehenswürdigkeiten von Stockholm genießen konnten. Insgesamt ein gelungener Urlaub!

About the host

Hosted by Britt Hellstadius

We are a couple with two grown-up children, we run our own business and love to travel, enjoy the nature of our country are interested especially in boats and lake/sea activities. Our main concern is the family and our cat 'Morrgan Stanley'.

Why they chose this property

We couldn´t beleive our eyes when seeing this ad, the old tired beautiful house at Drottningholm. There are no houses for sale in this area, very raredom. This one must have been a kind of a workes house close to the farm, and it had nothing of modernity we were used to. We spent the winter in the north of Sweden at the time, and my husband Mats took the train to Stockholm, 15 hours, to participate in the auction. We lost, another couple made a higher bid, you can tell we where very disappointed. However a week later the realty agent called, the winner did´nt get the loan he needed. Our bid was now accepted. I hadn´t even seen the place but I new my husband, and could´nt wait until we got the keys. After loads of work, restoring the house over and over, we still love it and people often wonder how we made it, how did we manage buying it? The house is comfortable, cosy and very welcoming. It is clean and very well cared for./Britt

What makes this property unique

The unique benefit of this property is the close distance to the city of Stockholm, and still this is a country area. Our neighboors are farmers. Less than 30 minutues we will reach Stockholm, less than 15 min. walk we will find a private place to swim from, or pick mushrooms or blueberrys. And you can walk to the golfcourse.
