Temperate Climate Shift: Exploring Scandinavia's Emerging Warmth as a Potential New Mediterranean Region
In the heart of Sweden lies a treasure trove of summer experiences, with the Stockholm Archipelago taking centre stage. Comprising over 30,000 islands and rocks, this aquatic wonderland is traversed by a fleet of well-organized ferries, providing easy access to a myriad of charming locales.
One such gem is Villa Sjötorp, a 19th-century villa nestled in Lyckorna, offering a unique hotel experience. Villa Sjötorp, once owned by Carl Emil Haeger, has been run by Ellika Mogenfelt for the past three decades. Each of the 14 bedrooms in this historic villa has been individually decorated, offering guests a cosy and personalised stay.
Stepping off the ferry onto the island of Svartsö, visitors are greeted by the friendly waterfront restaurant, Bistro Sågen. Svartsö also boasts a large lake that is warmer than the Baltic Sea, making it an ideal spot for a refreshing swim.
For those seeking a more rustic retreat, Naturbyn in Värmland offers treehouses and floating cabins for accommodation. This eco-friendly haven is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in nature.
Dalarna, another Swedish region rich in culture and gastronomy, is known for its lush countryside and wild animals. Here, visitors can find charming traditional summer houses like Boda, located on the island of Värmdö and overlooking a small harbor. However, it's important to note that places like Boda may not have shops, so groceries need to be brought from bigger cities.
Emma Lavelle, a travel and lifestyle writer and photographer based in the Yorkshire countryside, has written for several renowned publications, including Small Luxury Hotels, The Luminaire, Blumenhaus magazine, Lodestars Anthology, and Staays. While information on which region she visited in Sweden before traveling to Göteborg is not readily available, her experiences in the Stockholm Archipelago undoubtedly add to her extensive travel portfolio.
Whether you choose to stay in a historic villa, a treehouse in the wilderness, or a traditional summer house by the sea, the Stockholm Archipelago offers a unique and unforgettable summer experience. With Allemansrätten, or people's right to access and enjoy Nature, allowing for various activities such as swimming, walking, cycling, and camping, there's no shortage of ways to explore this beautiful region. So, pack your bags and embark on a Swedish adventure!
