HOLIDAYS TO SWEDEN

SWEDEN FROM EAST TO WEST
9 days from £1005 pp

Enjoy some of the places the Swedes keep to themselves: The smoothly skerried western coastline where the nation’s smart set have their summer houses; the ‘can’t hear a pin drop’ meadowland close by its great lakes, the cobbled alleyways of Stockholm’s Old Town and its second city Gothenburg.

After a few days in Stockholm, you pick up your hire car and follow the main road north of Lake Malaren, down past Orebro, through the province of Vastergotland to close by Falkoping.

Bjertorp Slot stands in its own substantial grounds, an art nouveau manor house built by a Swedish entrepreneur who made shed loads of money in Russia at the turn of the last century. Rooms look out over a formal lawn, lined with conifers and a fountain at its centre. The entrance area has the appearance, ambience and feel of the drawing room it once was and French windows lead onto a paved patio where you can have afternoon tea or early evening drinks. The food here is to die for, so have only a light lunch on your drive from Stockholm.

Leave after two nights for Handelsman Flink’s on the island of Flaton reached by a tiny ferry crossing over the Tjorn bridges to Orust. Loosely translated as the ‘crafty merchants store’, your stay here includes two three course dinners. Breathtaking views across the waters of Malo Strommar are included.

For your last day in Sweden drive past the ice smoothed skerries that characterise the coast line down to Gothenburg; along the way you can drop in at Café Emma in Mollosund on the quayside of Bohuslan’s oldest fishing village.
