Wonderous views and soothing experiences at Villa Baro

At Villa Baro, all your needs are catered for. A game of golf, a hike on a picturesque trail or a culinary delight in the restaurant awaits you.

Villa Baro’s story began in the 1760s, with the construction of a country house by the lake Bysjön in southern Sweden. In 1901, the house was relocated across the lake and became a school for practical and creative gardening. A blossoming establishment would follow, before the school became a hotel in 1957. “In 2018, the hotel underwent a substantial renovation, leading to the grand opening of Villa Baro in 2020,” says hotel manager Sabina Lundgren.

Villa Baro also opened a new wing with hotel rooms, lounges, a yoga studio and conference rooms. And only 15 minutes away by foot is Adelwärdska villan, with nine extra double rooms, a kitchen, and a view reminiscent of an Italian dream destination.

The rural surroundings are full of wildlife, and the hunting is on point. This also means locally sourced meat for the award-winning kitchen. “We have our own beef, venison, crayfish and lamb,” says Mikaela Andersson, food and beverage manager.

Prepared by renowned chefs and kitchen staff, a meal at Villa Baro is a given. “Our goal is to offer experiences that exceed expectations, with top-class hosting and a wide range of activities all year round,” continues Andersson. “And guests can rent the entire building for conferences, weddings or celebrations.”

A visit tends to lead to another. Guests dropping by for lunch often return later for a weekend stay with their partner or friends to experience the magical Scandinavian nature, and of course, some of Sweden’s finest golfing. “The golf course is a point of pride,” adds Lundgren. “It’s a park course and we have one of the most famous holes in Sweden, called Långa Sjö, along the lake.”

When it is finally time to wrap up after a day of activities, you will feel right at home indoors. The interior decoration is second to none. “No stone has been left unturned,” says Lundgren. “Our architects have decorated the site together with project manager Malin Adelswärd. It’s modern and daring, yet harmonious.”

For the ultimate stay, book the Villa Baro package with a three-course dinner, accommodation and breakfast. Combine with an activity in the beautiful surroundings, relaxation in the wellness area, or try the new outdoor tranquillity pool with a view of the lake.
