Sitting close to the coastline on one of the approximately 24,000 islands in the Stockholm Archipelago, this address benefits from not only a private dock, but also a motor boat you can borrow to explore your surroundings a little further. Alternatively, if you're more than content to sit and admire it from afar, there are alfresco tables in the pretty garden from which to dine and gaze out at peaceful waters.

This being Scandinavia, there are certain points in the year in which you'll simply want to coop up inside and it's more than possible to get toasty and warm here. Not only are there wood-burning fireplaces dotted about the communal spaces, but there's also one in the spa-style bathroom, complete with a tub and relaxation area. We're also particularly fond of the homely design throughout, from the rustic kitchens and bright living spaces to the soft rugs underfoot.

Part of the beauty of this address is its sense of isolation and privacy, although this does mean you'll have to hop in the car and potentially on a ferry for restaurants and attractions. That being said, the host can arrange for a private chef to visit the home, which makes life easier somewhat.



Where the Magic Happens

Set in the leafy suburbs of Stockholm, this home offers perfect peace while still being within easy reach of the city. Open the door of this handsome wooden house and you'll find yourself in a bright space that's bursting with that quintessentially Scandi style. Despite its minimalism, there are still plenty of cosy touches, from the movie room, ideal for snuggling up with a blockbuster, to the wood-burning stove which provides a warming atmosphere as you share a meal at the long dining table. Outside, there's plenty of space to enjoy alfresco feasts cooked on the grill, and even your very own swimming pool – take a refreshing dip, or simply laze in the sun as you watch the kids splash about. There's also a tennis court and golf course close by, and a five-minute walk will bring you down to the nearby lake. This corner of paradise might make you forget that you're so close to the bright lights of Stockholm but, should you want to visit the cobbled streets of the old town, you can drive there in around fifteen minutes. 

Out on the Deck

In this lakeside retreat, you can soak up postcard views of Pikesjön at any hour of the day. Wander down to a sandy little beach shared only with your next-door neighbours. Or, why not rent a boat and sail off from the jetty before returning to cook your catch of the day? After spending quality time with your loved ones in this open-plan living space, sneak off for a relaxing moment of solitude in the sauna. Then, sit down for an alfresco barbecue with the whole family, where you can swap stories on this private deck until nighttime.

Just because this luxurious cabin is off the beaten track doesn't mean it should be overlooked. Perhaps you'd think to spend your afternoons enjoying leafy picnics in the woods or exploring the local area by bike, but have you heard about Sweden's unusual moose safaris? If you fancy a break from nature, how about planning a road trip to the rugged coastline?

Two Steps on the Water

In a remote part of the Swedish forest, this waterside home will have you carrying lunchtime picnics to the sandy shoreline and making friends with your neighbours on a shared beach. In this place of relaxation, we recommend letting all your cares melt away in the sauna. Once you grow peckish, cook traditional meatballs with your loved ones as you enjoy an unrivalled view through these large-scale windows. Or, while watching the sunset overhead, why not raise a glass of snaps to a happy holiday on your private deck?

When you stay on the edge of picturesque Pikesjön lake, it'll take no temptation to hire a rowing boat and make use of the jetty. Forge unforgettable memories without venturing far, as you teach your children how to fish here. Alternatively, on dry land, why not meet the locals on an adventurous bike ride? We think that this retreat is special in every season, but maybe you'd like to visit during Scandinavia's midsummer celebrations.

Upon Reflection

For a summer escape that you’ll think of for the rest of the year, this home in Sweden really ticks every box. The home is bright, comfortable and spacious, with lake views. Best of all, a short private path leads to a lakeside beach where guests can go swimming or set off in the rowing boat. 

The house is surrounded by land, with a large lawn that little ones will love to play on, and a barbecue that’s ideal for alfresco meals in the sunshine. Start your day with a swim in the lake then dry off in the sun on the beach. You might then return to the house for a family breakfast prepared in the country kitchen. Next, you’ll have to decide whether to curl up with a good book on the patio, in the living room or if you’ll head out on foot or in the boat to explore the area. 

There’s a pretty chapel next door that’s a copy of the historic Hedared Stave Church. This home is in a truly beautiful spot on a peninsula next to Frisjön, a twenty-five-minute drive from Borås, where you can go shopping or visit the zoo. However you spend your time here, you’re sure to want to return again soon. 


Red Riding Hood

A cosy gem in Finland's Hitis archipelago, this lakeside home offers peace and seclusion along with soothing views across the water. While the understated exterior may remind you of times gone by, the interiors are decidedly modern, with a cool palette of grey and beige and a sleek kitchen for rustling up nourishing meals. Expect to find everything you need, along with some extras – trust us, you'll be thankful for the saunas in the cooler months. If you're staying in the summer, there's a barbecue for your use as well as a communal fire pit area. 

The Kasnäs area is geared towards relaxation and pleasure, boasting world-class spa services and sporting amenities, just a few minutes away from your cabin. In the peak season, the community hosts sports and nature events, encouraging everyone to get involved. Of course, if you'd rather enjoy a low-key getaway in these scenic surroundings, who could blame you?

The Siren

Perched along Copenhagen's main walking street in the Indre By district, and with the metro just two-minutes away, the location of this sleek loft-style apartment would be hard to beat. 

Explore its wander-worthy cobbled streets lined with chi-chi boutiques and bistros, or go wild in the aisles of the famous Magasin Du Nord, just three minutes from your door. When it's time to escape the shopping mecca, there's always Nyhavn waterfront for an amble (eight minutes on foot) or hop over the pedestrian bridge to join the locals for picnics along the banks of Christianshavn Island (a fifteen-minute stroll) – it's as charming as it sounds.

Back at home, this place is as cool and sleek as you'd expect a Copenhagen abode to be. Spread out over two floors, bleached wood accents and matt black finishes bring all the Scandi vibes. And thanks to the lofty ceilings and rows of windows ushering in heaps of natural light., everywhere feels bright and uplifting.

Climb the industrial-style staircase to discover a cosy rooftop terrace – a welcome surprise for a central city pad where outside space is scarce. And if you time it right, you may even catch the Danish Royal Guards march by on their daily parade – it's a daily affair around here. 


A Royal Welcome

Finding a penthouse this central in Copenhagen is special. But to bag a place with an all-too-rare rooftop terrace? Now you're onto a winner.

Start your morning on the veranda with coffees and Danish viennoiseries as the city's streets awaken below. And if you think the rooftop views look impressive by day, imagine this spot at night as the lights flicker on.

Inside, this apartment delivers all the Scandi aesthetics you're chasing. And heaps of space to boot. While you rustle up a bite to eat in the sleek, modern kitchen, others can spill out into the open-plan lounge area to keep you company or retreat upstairs to the secondary living room for some quiet time. And there's no need to tussle for the best bedroom here – both rooms deliver the same king-sized luxurious beds. 

Once you're fully recharged and ready to hit the streets, you couldn't dream up a more central location. The chi-chi boutiques and bistros of Strøget are right on your doorstep, and the metro is just two minutes away. Get off to a flying start with an amble around Nyhavn waterfront (eight minutes on foot), then hop over the bridge to Christianshavn Island (fifteen minutes on foot). It's an afternoon well spent with its colourful houses, canals, and rich history.

High Rollers

If you're going to explore one of Europe's most engaging cities, you may as well set yourselves right in the heart of it. This deluxe apartment is nestled in the centre of Copenhagen, leading to every must-see landmark and must-visit restaurant. It's a flourishing nucleus of Scandi brilliance. 

Wander the dreamy streets – drenched in cute, pastoral colours – to find a nexus of eating spots, bars and cafes. Taste the sweetness of a pastry in the morning, the warmth of a pølser in the afternoon and finish off with the national dish – stegt flæsk med persillesovs. 

Of course, you don't have to centre your trip around food. Walk five minutes to Magasin Du Nord, one of the Denmark's largest shopping centres, to try out Nordic fashion. Or head to the trendy Christianshavn to immerse yourself in Copenhagen's artistic culture. 

We appreciate that itinerary sounds pretty tiring, so you may just want an afternoon or evening inside. Luckily, the modern luxury of the apartment provides the perfect haven for a slower pace of life. Cosy sofas and a wooden dining table create a relaxed space to talk about your Nordic adventure.



The Heart of Copenhagen

Set in one of the most sought-after parts of Copenhagen, this central spot in Indre By (downtown) encompasses the very best of what the city has to offer. With its great boutiques, eateries, coffee shops and bars to make the most of, you'll be in gourmet heaven here. Take a stroll along the harbour of Nyhavn for a more laid-back setting, or soak up some culture at the famed Little Mermaid statue, which perches on a rock near Slotsholmen, an island home to museums and the Danish Parliament – just ten minutes away on foot. 

Whether your days spent here are action-packed or laid-back and relaxed, enjoy returning to this beautifully serene apartment at the end of the day. Dressed in neutral hues, with soft furnishings and delicate styling details, the apartment presents a fabulous space to unwind with a glass of wine in hand. For meal times when you don't feel like eating out, the large dining area provides an idyllic setting to share your own homemade culinary delights. If you need to work from home, you can also set up a laptop and stay connected with ease. And with a secluded terrace space featuring outdoor furniture and a barbecue, you needn't miss out on the sunshine either, as you can spend sunny afternoons soaking up some vitamin D or taking in the stunning architecture of the street below. 





Silhouette Serenity

If you're looking to stay in the heart of the city, this large home has enough room for up to eight and a stylish, contemporary look. Surrounded by tall windows and Juliet balconies, it's a bright, cheerful space – the perfect base for exploring wonderful Copenhagen.

Just a short walk away from many of the city's big attractions, here you'll be in a vibrant neighbourhood, buzzing with bars, restaurants and shops. And after a busy day of sightseeing, you'll be coming home to a practical and well-equipped apartment. All-white walls and wood floors provide a traditionally Scandi feel, and we love the eat-in kitchen, with its big table and statement light fittings.

Sundays in the Sunroom

This duplex apartment is located in Nyhavn and overlooks both a quiet courtyard on one side and a great cityscape view on the other, which includes the Royal Theatre as a neighbour – just a three-minute walk away. Start each morning here in Danish style and enjoy a fresh waffle from the bakery that can be reached within just five minutes on foot before heading out for a day of sightseeing and exploring.

The renowned Nyhavn harbour is just a five-minute walk from your door where you can enjoy the views of colourful seventeenth-century buildings and old ships docked. In the evening, why not sip a cool beer by the docks, dine at one of the many restaurants, or listen to a local jazz band play?

Cross the walking bridge to Christianshavn – an eighteen-minute walk from your door – and wander one of the most vibrant spots in Copenhagen. Explore Hans Christian Anderson’s fairytale Denmark and visit the monument to the writer and the Little Mermaid statue – which are an eighteen-minute and twenty-minute walk away, respectively. Zip-around the neighbourhood on a Segway or take a guided bike tour, and if you’d rather see the city from the waters, then rent a boat and cruise the canals, or relax and let a captain guide you. Whatever you choose to do in Copenhagen, this home is ideally located to see some of the best sights of the city.
