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 large, and recently and completely renovated bathroom with a bathtub. Outside in the garden there is a sauna which you heat with firewood. There is a smaller house fulltime rented on the property. The tennant have got its own garden and is very quiet. You yourselves will have total privacy.
Communications: Lovö church is 10 min. walk from Villa Drottningholm, from where the buses take you to Brommaplan (Metrostation) Driving a car to the city will take 20 min,unless you choose the busy early morning traffic, between 7-9 am. A more beautiful way to go to the city is catching 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 are 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. Even September is almost very delightful. Atumn is during okt-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.

Our time on Lovo (Drottningholm) was magical. The island is a national park, and we loved walking out our door and onto the island's many trails. And yet, we could also easily drive to sites around Stockholm and Lake Malaren. The house is so lovely. Everything is comfortable and cozy. The kitchen is very well-equipped--we made all of our meals there. There are flowers everywhere--inside and out. And it was SO quiet! The only sounds we heard were birds chirping and the clip-clop of the occasional horse being ridden down the lane. Lastly, the hosts were so lovely and hospitable. We will always remember our time here with fondness and wistfulness.

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!

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 well book this villa again. Hugo and Jeantine
