Holiday homes & apartments
in Oknö

Finally we experienced Smaland in winter, even with snow. We booked the house Villa Sommartider. The island of Oknö (accessible by car via a dam) lies in the Kalmarsund about half an hour from Kalmar. We found the house as described. Everything was tiptop clean. The caretaker had even preheated the house. Since we arrived late in the evening, we were happy to have firewood for the first evening. The house is new, all amenities are available. Especially great is the separate house entrance when you come out of the outdoor sauna. On the huge wooden terrace, next to the sauna, there is also a hot tub for heating with wood. From here you also have a view of the Baltic Sea. You can get wood for the fireplace and sauna at the DIY store and the petrol station in town. We would like to come back. Next time maybe in summer to use the boat as well.

For the second time on Oknö we have now returned from our first winter holiday. Conclusion: Even in winter, or perhaps especially in winter, Oknö has an unmistakable charm. Absolute tranquillity, a little winter storm and unfortunately no real snow. Nevertheless, absolutely recommendable. The house even welcomed us pre-heated, great when you arrive in the middle of the night and everything is warm. Many thanks to the landlord family who took care of everything in advance (for example, where to get the firewood) and also for making it possible to arrive and depart outside the normal changeover days. We can definitely recommend Villa Saltkrakan, nothing was lacking. We are looking forward to the next time. Family Pieske

We have just returned from our first trip to Sweden. In short, that was not the last trip to Sweden, even though November is certainly not one of the best travel months. Since the weather was as it usually is in November, we spent a lot of time in the wonderful Villa Saltkrakan. A holiday home that couldn't have been better. Everything is just right here. The bedrooms are not particularly big, but there is a really large open kitchen and dining area that opens into the living room. In the living room, there is a fireplace, which is common in many holiday homes, but there is also a fireplace in the conservatory - simply fantastic with a direct view of the Baltic Sea. While the living room has modern furniture, the landlords have chosen two old Swedish kitchen benches for the conservatory. We think it's very tasteful. We didn't use the guest house, but it also made a great impression (with a sleeping loft and its own bathroom). Everything is extremely clean, even better than in the photos. The many tips we received from the super nice landlords before and during the trip were also great. There is also a caretaker on site. We would love to come back and can recommend it without any restrictions.
