Historic Countryside hotels in Sweden: |

|
Welcome to the Swedish Historic Countryside. All our hotels are carefully chosen to spread across the most beautiful regions of Sweden. By a beautiful lake, on a mountain slope, in a national park, by a golf course, by the beach, in a picturesque fishing village, on the banks of a river. The surroundings will captivate you whether you are planning a romantic getaway or attending a conference . The hotels are mansions, taverns, inns and castles that have been inhabited by kings and noblemen, artists and potentates throughout the centuries.
We are of course happy to arrange internal transfers to bring all these places conveniently close.
Experience the difference and live like a King!
