Fidenäs accommodation from NZ$115

This was a fantastic find, as a last minute booking. I'd arrived at the hotel I originally booked in Visby, but when it turned out to be a cross between a backpackers hostel & Fawlty Towers(!), I was swiftly back online to cancel that and book somewhere decent...and this place was fabulous. Located in the stunning south east of the island, it was a great base to explore the whole island. I had a beautiful duplex-style room, with my bedroom on a mezzanine, under which was a huge, modern bathroom (a hard find in rural Sweden it turns out!), and a great big lounge area, so it was the perfect place to base myself for a longer stay. The couple who own the hotel & the rest of the staff were charming. The onsite restaurant is superb, as is the breakfast, with lots of homegrown & homemade produce. The hotel and rooms are arranged around a quadrangle, and sitting with a coffee or breakfast, relaxing amongst the fig & apricot trees, herb planters, and grape vines, in the late summer sun, you could be in the Mediterranean! It's super quiet, set amongst pine trees, and only a short walk from the sea.
