Villa Gransholm is a large, rambling structure, located in the pleasant countryside of Småland.
In the vicinity there is a manor that sells antiques, and not much else. Except empty country roads, woods, meadows and lakes. Silence and solitude just 16 km fråm Växjö town. An idela place to wind down on, and, for me, a retreat when I work in another hospital than my own.
Every room is unique, large, and reasonably well appointed. There are no Etro toiletris or 400 tread cotton sheets. Nor is there stark modern furniture. Villa Gransholm is not like that. It is more like visiting Your aunt in the British countryside. With a warm welcome, large public rooms with pleasant old furniture, roaring fires in the large fireplaces, lit candles in the livingroom and a house full of nooks, crannies, windows, creaking floors and a very pleasant atmosphere. Hjördis, the housekeeper, breakfast cook and jack-of-all trades will definitely make You welcome. Breakfast is first class with omelette on demand and lokal charcuteries and honey. Dinner is pre-ordered only and decent in price and lovely. I see Villa Granshol as my second home and would not change it for another. Go there with Your beloved. Take a romantic walk. Swim in the nude in a deserted lake. Go back, have a pre-dinner drink in the garden folly, enjoy the meal and rest in Your room, wondering why the ceiling is 4 meters above You and why You do not have it like that at home.
