Reviews
“If I have to choose, I am in love with the garden with the old beautiful greenhouse, the perfect place to sit and read your book! Plus it was absolutely wonderful to pick my own blueberries in the woods! It wouldn’t be possible for us in Germany. If our children were to choose they would have lived in the playhouse ONLY – they just LOVED it! Plus the swings were also favourites!
A couple of times we took the local ferry to Stockholm for the day, which was surprisingly easy and a pleasant trip in just over an hour. ”
“The open sky, the sea and the friendly atmosphere of the house was just perfect for all of us as we gathered at Solbacka and Stegesund to celebrate my father’s 60th birthday together with his children and grandchildren. Solbacka was a perfect place: harmony stylish, luxurious but also cosy, familiar and easy to like”
