Beautiful and Unique Places To Stay, Sweden: Stedsans in the Woods

I don’t know about you, but when I go on holiday (or away for the weekend) I always start with a search for ‘unique places to stay’ – the more special, rare and off-beat the better! Do you do the same? If so, imagine my delight when I stumbled across this gem an hour or so North from where I live! The place in question is Stedsans in the Woods – a retreat in Bohult, Halland, West Sweden. Owned and run by Danes Mette Holbæk and Flemming Schiøtt Hansen, Stedsans in the Woods offers an idyllic, food-centred experience which aims to bring people closer to nature through the use of fresh ingredients and simple cooking (foodies rejoice!). In addition to the wonderful meals, guests are invited to soak up the surroundings, cleanse and relax in the floating sauna and sleep in (comfy) tents under the stars. What’s not to love?!

Beautiful and such a perfect way to experience Swedish nature in all its pureness and tranquillity, don’t you think?

All that’s left for me to do is check my calendar!

If you’re visiting West Sweden this spring / summer – perhaps I’ll see you there?!

You can find out more info about Stedsans in the Woods and make a booking here.

Into camping? Thanks to Allmansrätten (the freedom to roam) – one of the beauties of Sweden is you can camp wild. Just be mindful not to pitch your tent on farmland, within 50 metres of a house, water sources etc and show respect towards the environment (forage away, but never take everything from the patch, respect wildlife, take your litter with you etc). There’s more info and inspiration about camping in Sweden in my book: Lagom, the Swedish Art of Living a Balanced, Happy Life.

Have a lovely day!
