Your accomodation is situated in an old industrial site which is to be conserved because of its historical interest. There are beautiful surrondings with birds and flowers. There are six big houses containing thirtythree modern apartments and 20 hostalrooms. There are also one museum apartment, a mill and a smithy, all 200-years old buildings. Many of our visitors are birdwatchers and nature lovers who are interested in the Alvaret on Öland.
The accomodations have got a modern standard, but not that modern. Many things are in the same way as in older days when people used to have fires to heat there flats and had to carry water to get it indoors and also used toilets outdoors. You can see a number of small shelters at the seaside. People working in the industry could keep a pig and some hens for their household in theese small shelters. There where also common rooms for baking and washing clothes. A family of 10-15 persons could live in a small one-room-and-a-kitchen-flat.
The houses are situated near the sea, which make them attractive to us and for everybody who wants to swim.
Here in Öland the water is very carbonised. Because of that the bottom of our pots will become white. It doesn´t look nice but it is also harmless and possible to wash away.
Our apartments and rooms are equipped for selfcatering and you also have to tidy up before you leave it. We want our guests to get a clean and proper apartment. so they can have a lovely holiday indoors as well as outdoors. If you wish to bring a pet, this must be made clear at the time of booking. We have apartments and rooms where pets might be held. Smoking is not allowed indoors in any of our apartments.
