Unique Countryside Villa From The 17th Century, Close To Stockholm

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.

Beautiful House in a great location
One of the best rentals we ever had - the house lies between a forest and a horse farm. Really quiet and the setting is beautiful. Everything you possibly need for a nice holiday is available in the house. We liked the many candles and lights and the little winter garden. The heated floor was great for the winter rental - thanks for the sweets and the bowl of fruits - thanks for the christmas card. Close to the shops and close to Stockholm and only a 45 minute drive to Arlanda Airport. Our son used the small Guesthouse in the garden. Wifi worked great. We will recommend this place to our friends. Thank You from Luxembourg

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!

Beautiful villa and very hospitable owners!
We would highly recommend this villa to everybody! The villa is really beautiful and decorated with warm taste. The area is also very beautiful and quiet. The owners, Britt and Mats, are very hospitable and very kind. They really helped us out whilst having a problem with renting a car, due to missing creditcard. So much appreciated, thank you again Britt and Mats! Next time we go direction Stockholm, no doubt we'll book this villa again. Hugo and Jeantine

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.

This is a beautiful Swedish House with wonderful hosts in a very scenic and special place.
Imagine waking up to a deer outside your window, then walking to a lake for a private swim, then a thirty-minute,easy bike ride past Drottningholm Castle to a metro station where in 15 minutes you will be in the heart of Stockholm. If you don’t have a Swedish cousin that can loan you a bike for a week, you can rent one, or you can walk to a bus stop that can take you where you need to go. At Drottningholm you can even take a ferry to Stockholm. If you like golf or just like having a pear cider while you watch golfers, there is a beautiful golf course close by. The house is tucked away at the edge of the woods, behind a riding stable, so you really feel like you are in the country yet you are very close to a world class city. I had a Fourth of July Dinner Party for 8, and the well-organized kitchen had everything I needed. I was traveling without a car so the day I arrived, Britt met me at the Metro and drove me to the house after waiting for me to do a little shopping. I highly recommended this house to woman traveling alone, a family with children who would love the little red playhouse in the yard, or a couple who wants a romantic adventure. Be sure to take the wooden bike tour and the kayak tour of Stockholm.

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

paradise
this was a perfect rental. very close to Stockholm and yet so quiet, excellent public transport. very clean and extremely comfortable. and so cosy.... the owners are extremely generous, everything was there when we arrived and the house was perfectly warm (outside lots of snow and very cold -10C). we have been renting holiday homes for more than 25 years and this was the first really carefree home! just relax...

Sehr gemütlich
Wir reisten dieses Jahr zum ersten Mal mit unseren drei inzwischen erwachsenen Kindern nach Schweden. Unter anderem verbrachten wir eine Woche in der Villa Drottningholm. Ja, was sollen wir sagen? Alles aus den anderen Bewertungen stimmt. Wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt und waren total begeistert, besser geht es einfach nicht. Schade, dass Schweden für uns so weit weg liegt, sonst würden wir jedes Jahr kommen. Auf jeden Fall sehr zu empfehlen.
