Swedish Farm-to-Table
Seven bedrooms are located in the 450 m2 manor house. The interiors blend comfort with archipelago charm — high standards throughout while preserving the character of the 18th century. Modern kitchen, renovated bathrooms, and living spaces designed for large gatherings. Each of the two guest houses offers its own bedrooms and living areas. One guest house sits steps from the ocean by the main deck.
Thirteen bedrooms. One double bed and twenty single beds. Seven bedrooms in the manor house. Three bedrooms in each guest house. One bedroom in the small cottage. Five bathrooms throughout the property. Space for 22 guests comfortably. Please note: As this is an island property, running water is not unlimited — guests are asked to use water with care. The Swedish summer tradition is to embrace the ocean for refreshing swims and saltwater showers.
A small private island connected by bridge from the main deck. The wood-burning sauna sits in the boathouse with adjacent relaxation area.

Water equipment includes one canoe, one rowing boat with small motor, two paddleboards, wakeboard, waterskis, wetsuits, fishing gear. Eight adult bicycles and four children's bikes. Tents and camping equipment. The property faces south with sun throughout the day.

A landmark since 1906, Grinda Wärdshus is one of the most celebrated restaurants in the Stockholm archipelago. Classic Swedish cuisine, a terrace overlooking Saxarfjärden, and a more casual harbour restaurant at the water's edge. Reachable by public or private boat from central Stockholm in about an hour.
The most respected restaurant in the Stockholm archipelago — recommended by the White Guide and consistently regarded as a destination in its own right. The kitchen is built around local, seasonal ingredients, with the menu changing with the produce rather than the other way around. Three and five course menus are the format, served on a terrace overlooking the bay or in a cosy indoor setting when the weather turns. The wine list is equally considered, recognised by Star Wine List for its quality and range. Reachable by private or communal boat from Stockholm. Book in advance.
Vaxholm's most beloved café, and for good reason. Set in a 19th century heritage building right by the water, Hembygdsgårds Café is the kind of place that feels like it has always been there — because it has. The menu is classic Swedish: Toast Skagen with hand-peeled shrimp, cold-smoked salmon, fresh waffles, and a legendary cake buffet that's hard to walk past. In summer, the garden terrace fills up quickly, with views across the water and an atmosphere that is entirely unhurried. A natural stop on any visit to Vaxholm, whether arriving by boat or by car.
A hidden gem on Svartsö in the Värmdö archipelago, Bistro Sågen was born when three friends converted an old sawmill into one of the Stockholm archipelago's most authentic dining destinations. The menu is rooted in genuine farm-to-table cooking — meat from their own livestock, vegetables from their own fields, and a philosophy that favours simplicity and craft over complication. In summer, the setting is hard to beat.
Svartsö is a small island in the Värmdö archipelago, quieter and less visited than its neighbours — which is precisely its appeal. Reachable by private or communal boat.
Not everything in a great archipelago day needs to be a three-course meal. Glass på Hörnet occupies a corner spot right on Vaxholm's harbour, in the best possible position: you step off the boat and it's practically the first thing you see. The ice cream is homemade gelato in around 20 flavours, with Italian coffee alongside — simple, carefully made, and popular enough that a queue is entirely normal on a summer afternoon. Vaxholm itself is one of the most characterful stops in the inner archipelago, with its fortress island, wooden townhouses and working harbour, and a scoop from Glass på Hörnet on the quayside is as good a way as any to take it all in.
A classic archipelago inn on Ingmarsö — one of those places you can only reach by boat, which is precisely part of the appeal. Ingmarsö Krog serves seasonal Swedish food in a genuine skärgård setting, with its own dock for arriving guests and four mooring buoys for boats up to 6,500 kg. The gästhamn 200 metres away offers an additional 30 berths with showers, sauna and electricity.
