Villa Dagmar stands on the beachfront promenade in Båstad, often called Sweden's Riviera, on a 12,000 sqm (129,000 sq ft) plot that stretches from its English gardens down to the water. Built in 1914 by businessman Karl Bergsten as a gift to his wife Dagmar, the villa was inspired by Renaissance palaces such as Villa d'Este near Rome and Axel Munthe's San Michele on Capri — designed by renowned architects and crafted by skilled local artisans over four years. In the 1930s it became a social hub for Stockholm's upper elite, hosting lavish gatherings with King Gustav V as a regular guest. Sensitively restored at the turn of the millennium, Villa Dagmar is now available as a luxury vacation rental for the first time in its history. Six bedrooms, a private tennis court, daily housekeeping, and Byredo amenities are included throughout.
