Storybook Sweden

Not only does this home showcase some magnificent Swedish architecture, it's also nestled within some of the country's most idyllic nature spots. In the coastal haven of Halland, you'll feel like you've stepped into the pages of a storybook here. Boasting a beautiful park-like garden that leads to a forest, you don't have to venture far to see some of the spectacular scenery that surrounds this home.

The exterior is striking to say the least, with a domed tower and colourful paintwork. Inside you'll find an extensive library, complete with comfy chaise lounge, plus a log burner which you can't help but cuddle up in front of on a cold evening. We highly recommend you start your days with a cup of coffee on the balcony, before heading out to explore. The sea is only a few kilometres away, meaning there are some pretty beaches close by – some of which even offer surfing if that's your thing. Foodies will find plenty to do here – the area has a buzzing culinary culture and prides itself on producing delicious, local food. Dine out or buy some ingredients to experiment with in your own kitchen, the choice is yours, but with several dining tables at home, you know that family means are always on the cards.
