Villa Sol

Southeastern Sweden


The sunny yellow exterior sets the tone for this delightful accommodation located on a quiet residential street near Borgholm's centre. Rooms in the main house share two bathrooms, a fully equipped cottage-style kitchen and a homey living room, complete with board games and books. The marginally more expensive garden rooms are in separate chalets overlooking the flower-filled garden.
