“A fantastic family holiday and easily one of the most memorable places we have stayed. We were genuinely sorry to leave”
+A truly special place in the Swedish countryside We absolutely loved our stay in the Swedish Stone Barn at Gåvetorps Gård. It is a genuinely exceptional conversion of an old stone barn, retaining all of the character of the historic building while creating a beautiful, comfortable and contemporary place to stay. The conservation and design have been incredibly well thought out. The original stone walls work beautifully with the extensive pine-clad ceilings and upper walls, while the polished concrete floor in the main open-to-the-roof living space gives the interior a wonderfully simple Scandinavian feel. The modern kitchen and log burner sit very comfortably within the historic building rather than competing with it. It is one of those rare conversions where old and new genuinely complement each other. The setting is every bit as special as the barn itself. You are surrounded by beautiful Swedish forest, with wonderful wildlife quite literally on the doorstep. We spent a lot of time simply sitting outside on the huge terrace, enjoying the peace, sunshine and surrounding woodland. The outdoor firepit was brilliant too and made for some lovely family evenings. There is also so much
−We didn’t want to leave!

“Relaxation Haven”
+We stayed in the larger cabin which is 1km from the small lake and main house pictured here. It is an incredibly designed place- with a fireplace inside and a grill spot out back. The forest behind the house was very inviting. We also drove down to the lake and went out on the boat and went swimming twice. It was extremely relaxing.
−Nothing really.

“Ein traumhafter Urlaub in einer traumhaften Unterkunft”
+Wir haben 9 Nächte in der Villa verbracht und waren alle sehr angetan. Wir waren mit 2 Familien bzw. 7 Personen dort (4 Erw., 3 Kids). Die Aufteilung war für uns perfekt. Unten haben die Kids geschlafen und die Eltern hatten oben jeweils ein schönes Schlafzimmer. Dass die Villa zwei Bäder hatte war für unsere 2 Familien perfekt. Es gab auch eine Waschmaschine. Vilhelm war ein überaus aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Bei unserer Ankunft hat er uns sehr geduldig alles gezeigt. Wir waren und sind nachhaltig von der Einrichtung dieser Villa vollkommen begeistert! Vilhelm hat bei der Einrichtung wirklich Geschmack bewiesen! Kaum zu glauben, dass diese traumhafte Unterkunft mal eine Scheune war! Wir hatten eine wirklich traumhafte Zeit! Haben im Garten auf der Feuerstelle gegrillt und bei Vilhelm am Hof im See gebadet. Wir können diese Unterkunft nur wärmstens empfehlen und bedanken uns bei Vilhelm für seine Gastfreundschaft. Wir durften für unsere Familien Erinnerungen für die Ewigkeit schaffen.

+Das historische Apartment liegt direkt am See. Vilhelm nimmt sich richtig Zeit, alles zu zeigen und zu erklären. Die Kommunikatiin vor und während des Aufenthaltes war super. Total unkompliziert, freundluch und hilfsbereit. Fahrräder wurden kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt. Auch ein Ruderboot konnte genutzt werden. Man konnte direkt am See sitzen und frühstücken oder grillen. Wirklich empfehlenswert! Wir haben die Zeit sehr genissen - vielen Dank!!!
