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.

Very nice house, in a premium surrounding. Kindly helpfull owner. We will come back. Jörg

Mats-Åke Hellstadius & Britt Hellstadius, Thank you very much for the wonderful stay at your Villa Drottningholm this summer! You were the perfect host, whenever we had any questions or need for help... you've been there! It has been one of our best holiday homes ever! The location is great... if you're looking for relaxed countrylife with great hiking&biking opportunities ! If you'd like to have culture, shoping & nightlife it's just a 20 minute ride to downtown Stockholm. We enjoyed every single minute and highly recommend your villa.

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

Very friendly owners. A wonderful property, clean and very nice. Beautifully located in the countryside but also close to the City. We totally recommend to stay there!

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!

My Family and I spent a week at this Villa. The gracious owners greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the property. The house is lovely, spotless and is well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the fresh air and peace and quiet. We definitely recommend this property.

We stayed in the Villa with four people, had plenty of space and liked the house very much. It was absolutely clean and the owner provided us with excellent service, especially concerning our arrival. Advice for future guests: It is no problem it you don't have a car, a bus stop is not far away from the house. Only make sure you have got a ticket in advance (online or by app).

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...

My family and I stayed in Villa Drottningholm for two weeks in September and my only regret is that we could not have stayed longer. The online photos are lovely but do not do the property justice. The house has been painstakingly and tastefully renovated by owners, Britt and Mats, and much thought has obviously gone into balancing originality with modern conveniences. Everything was absolutely spotless when we arrived and all that a visitor could possibly need was to be be found - I don't think I have seen so much cutlery, china and appliances in a kitchen outside of a hotel! The garden is beautifully maintained and waking up in the morning and opening the curtains on a view over lawn, flowers and trees was a treat. Our two-year-old daughter was particularly delighted with the little playhouse on the way to the guesthouse and spent many happy hours there. The location is unbeatable and exactly what we were looking for - completely rural yet still convenient to central Stockholm. We had rented a car and drove the 10 or so minutes to nearby Brommaplan metro station which is just a 20 minute trip from the city centre. However my sister travelled by public transport on a couple of occasions and it took her under an hour from the door of the house to the centre - with a bit of planning and consulting of timetables. On a couple of occasions we drove a few minutes to Drottningholm Palace and took the ferry from there to Stockholm town hall - a more expensive but absolutely gorgeous alternative. An added bonus for horse lovers is that you are a just a few metres from a riding centre/school - the road to the house literally takes you through it! Most mornings we saw riders passing by the garden for a hack along the forest trail and a friendly horse owner even took our daughter for a little ride one day. Finally a word about our hosts Britt and Mats: Our flight arrived rather late in the evening but despite the late hour Mats and his daughter (Britt was travelling) made the effort to greet us and ensure everything was ready for us - right down to fresh flowers and a bowl of sweets - they even made sure we had provisions for breakfast the next day. They were wonderfully friendly and amusing as they explained how everything in the house worked along with suggestions for outings and useful information on transport and shopping. We thank them all - and it goes without saying that we look forward to staying at Villa Drottningholm again before too long!

The house is located perfectly - close to Stockholm city centre (half a hour by public transport) and close to nature. The house is well-equipped and all household appliances are in best condition. The house was clean and kept in best condition. Very useful were the tips of the homeowner. For example, to use public transport to Stockholm or to find the best places to swim close to the house. Many thanks for the nice stay, we would really like to come back to this nice place and we recommend this house to our friends or relatives.

Dieses Haus lässt keine Wünsche offen! Schon der erste telefonische Kontakt mit den Besitzern war total unkompliziert und nett. Bei der Ankunft wurden wir herzlich von Britt und Mats empfangen. Beim gemeinsamen Rundgang durch das Haus wurde uns von ihnen das Gefühl vermittelt "das ist jetzt euer Haus". Was in diesem überwältigend schönen Haus kein Problem war. Wir konnten in jedem Raum nur noch staunen wie liebevoll alles eingerichtet ist. Es fehlt an nichts in diesem Haus. Durch das nebenstehende Gästehaus können hier bequem 6 Personen unterkommen. Trotz der Nähe zu Stockholm ist man mitten in der Natur. Mit den öffentichen Verkehrsmitteln ist man in ca. 40 Min. in der Altstadt von Stockholm bzw. in 15 Min. Fußweg kann man den Sonnenuntergang am See genießen. Oder man entspannt nach einem anstrengenden Tag in der Großstadt in der Badewanne mit Wirlpool! Für den Besuch in Stockholm zu empfehlen: Skansen Park, Vasa Museum, Rüstkammer im Schloss Stockholm. Extra für Kinder: Freizeitpark Gröna Lund. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub! Udo und Martina

Eigentlich müsste man hier sechs Sterne vergeben! Eine Top-Lage in sehr ruhiger Umgebung mit dennoch verkehrsgünstiger Anbindung (sowohl öffentlich als auch mit dem Auto) nach Stockholm und Umgebung paart sich mit einer sehr stilvollen Gestaltung des gesamten Anwesens. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig, durch die vielen Fenster sehr hell und bestens ausgestattet - ebenso ist der Garten mit zwei Terrassen, Gäste-, Sauna- und Spielhaus unmittelbar vorm Wald ein Traum. Alles ist in guten Zustand und sauber. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und außerordentlich hilfsbereit. Die Verständigung auf Englisch (überall in der Umgebung) ist einwandfrei. Zwar nicht ganz preiswert aber auf jeden Fall seinen Preis wert. Insgesamt ist eine Reise in die Region um Stockholm unbedingt empfehlenswert.

We stayed for one week in this quiet, beautiful and very well-equipped house. Both nature and the city of Stockholm are close by. We can absolutely recommend it. Thank you very much for being such excellent hosts!

Drottningholm Villa is a perfect place for families who like to combine a visit to Stockholm and beautiful nature. Britt and Mats are very friendly people and gave us a warm welcome. The house and the garden are very well maintained and it's a pleasure to stay in such a nice house! Thanks a lot! Frank and Kristine, Lize, Emma, Lukas Belgium

An erster Stelle möchten wir uns bei den beiden Eigentümern für die schöne Woche in ihrem wunderbaren Haus bedanken. Wir buchten sehr kurzfristig und die beiden waren sehr herzlich und hilfreich. Das Haus ist wirklich sehr schön eingerichtet, sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man benötigt. Wir haben nichts vermisst. Stockholm ist nah. Man kann in ca. 30 min mit dem Auto im Zentrum sein. Möglich ist es auch das Auto an einer der nächsten Tunnelbahn Station zu parken und dann mit eben dieser weiter zu fahren. Aber auch die unmittelbare Umgebung gibt einiges zu sehen, an erster Stelle natürlich das ganz nahe gelegene Schloß Drottningholm. Trotz der Stadtnähe liegt das Haus perfekt für uns mitten in der Natur. Mit unserem zweijährigen Sohn erforschten wir die umliegenden Wanderwege und waren in ca. 20min zu Fuß an einer schönen Badestelle am See. Für uns war es ein perfektes Heim für die Woche. Ich denke es ist zu jeder Jahreszeit schön und wir werden hoffentlich bald wieder Gelegenheit haben ein paar Tage dort zu verbringen.

Magnificient house, which was refurbished very tastefully. The location is rural but still close to explore Stockhokm city centre. Very close to the Drottningholm Golf course. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

A very cosy an newly renovated house with everything you need. The owners are very friendly an will make sure you are comfortable and that you will enjoy your stay. Easy access to the city and still in the countryside near horses and the water. Can highly recommend to rent this house!

Totally charming house, both located in nature and close to Stockholm. The house is comfortable and looks typically Swedish. Very warm welcome from the owners. We could go back there with great pleasure.
