Fly Drive - Country Houses tour of SwedenDrive into the long history of Sweden and experience coastal and lakeside hospitality as the sun lingers long on the evening horizon during the long summer days of May, June, July and August. These 3 hotels have been selected to give you an insight into the rich Swedish summer culture. Sundbyholms Slott (Castle) perches on the shores of Sweden's largest inner archipelago in Lake Mälaren. Grythyttan has an unrivalled reputation for food and Villa Sjötorp is a secluded hide away in the middle of the West Coast archipelago. Day 1 to 3
Sundbyholms Slott (Castle) is located just 1hr from Stockholm on the shores of lake Mälaren and the nearest big town is just 12km away (Eskilstuna). The original castle was built in the 1640’s
by the Admiral of the Fleet. Explore Europe’s northern most beech forest or relax on lake Malären’s
longest natural sand beach. For a little more activity take a ride on
horseback or have a picnic on a log raft. All meals are served in the castle where local products are carefully
selected and prepared by the Castle’s chef. An impressive wine cellar
guarantees the perfect match for your meal. Spoil yourself with an excellent
menu and a wide selection of top quality wines to complement your meal
choice. Local activities include cycle rental, walking, fishing, riding and Stockholm is easily reached by car or by train from Eskilstuna.
Day 3 to 5 Grythyttans Gästgivaregård
Day 5 to 7 Villa Sjötorp - Ljungskile
Villa Sjötorp has just just ten charming traditional and individually decorated rooms with excellent personal service. During the long summer days, meals are served in the garden or on the terrace offering breathtaking views across an outstanding west coast archipelago. A path leads down to a small beach and at the centre of the garden is a large tree from which hangs a swing that even the most grown up among you will not be able resist sitting on and soaking up the atmosphere. Villa Sjötorp is located in the heart of West Sweden's stunning coastline. A myriad of island and fjords are on the door step for you to explore with small picturesque fishing villages and beaches. Gothenburg is less than 60mins away.
