What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
It’s a sign of how great it is that I think it is worth the 3.5 hour train journey from Stockholm…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Ancient beech forests and pastures surround the estate, where walking trails weave past eighty contemporary outdoor sculptures by international artists.
The rooms
Salvaged estate timber and limestone anchor eleven restful bedrooms, where custom leather-wrapped oak wardrobes sit alongside curated vintage chairs.
Dogs stay too.
Wanås Restaurant
Seasonal tasting menus draw organic dairy and foraged forest produce into an open kitchen set under heavy timber beams.
At the table
Picnics can be set deep in the beech woods, and an open fireplace column warms the kitchen lounge.
How it began
Architect Kristina Wachtmeister converted the eighteenth-century farm buildings in 2017 on land stewarded by her family across nine generations.
