Sea front Ex-Embassy residence near Stockholm

Close to Stockholm you will find this sea side historical mansion, Villa Glitne, from 1909. After being used as an Embassy residence it is now open for you to enjoy. It is perfectly situated between thousands of islands in the archipelago and the old city center.
All floors in Villa Glitne offers a breath-taking panorama over the Baltic Sea and the inlet to Stockholm. The location is perfect – protected and calm, with the best view possible and near the sea. In the morning, walk down to the Baltic sea and take a swim before enjoying breakfast. Take a tour with the kayaks before taking a long bath in the large sauna. In the evenings you can enjoy the sunset right in front of you from the large terrace. The evenings are bright in the summertime .
