About this villa rental

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.

Everything that has been written about this property sounds like a fairy tale ... well ... it´s all absolutely true! The location is simply perfect if you wish to enjoy relaxing nature and have the beautiful city of Stockholm nearby. We came by car and obviously it´s handy to have a car for shopping for groceries but it´s not strictly necessary for visiting Stockholm. You can either go by bus to Brommaplan and then continue by underground to Stockholm city (40 minutes or go to Ekero and go by "pendelbät"-ferry (55 minutes) The villa is absolutely gorgeous and has been renovated by Britt and Mats to a perfect and comfortable modern standard while at the same time keeping the 17th century atmosphere intact, thus creating a very homely feeling. The large and bright kitchen contains everything you might need when cooking own meals on holiday. There is also a utility room with a washing machine, a dryer, an ironing board, ... everything you might wish for has been provided. Very relaxed check in and check out: on our first day we were heartily welcomed by Britt and Mats and on our last day they came to see us off and to wave goodbye. The house has plenty of spaces where you can sit together or alone, both inside (there´s a wonderful balcony!) and outside. Speaking of outside: Lovö has a large deer population. When cycling around you will often encounter deer. One day I went out to hang up some kitchen towels outside, there even was a deer in the garden! 300% recommendation!

We had a great time in Drottningholm; the property is great, especially the large garden and the family-friendly style. Communication as well as check-in and check-out was fast and perfect. We would love to come back on our next trip to Sweden. Thanks a lot for the hospitality!

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!
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

We had a fantastic stay in Britt and Mats's lovely house. Everything was just great. The house is perfectly equipped and very tastefully decorated. Everything was very clean and neat. We also enjoyed the wonderful garden and its patios. The house is situated betweeen forest, pastures, a golf course and lake Mälaren, so that you have the feeling of being far away from everything; however, it only takes a 50 minute ride by bike to get to the centre of Stockholm! By bus and underground, you can get there in 45 minutes, so that you do not need a car at all. There are various supermarkets where you can get everything (at Brommaplan, where you change from the underground to catch the 323 bus to get back to the house). Britt and Mats are very friendly and helpful, too, so that we can absolutely recommend this location. We would love to stay there again!
