The archipelago, without leaving the city behind.
Älgö sits in the Stockholm archipelago, where forest, open water and long Nordic light shape the pace of the day. Villa Bianca gives families and groups a private base close to the sea, with the water roughly 150 metres from the house.
Five bedrooms, seven beds and three bathrooms are arranged across the main villa and a separate guest house. Generous shared spaces make it easy to spend time together, while the second house gives one large family or two families useful privacy.

Where to stay
Where to stay in the Stockholm archipelago.
There is no single best base for every trip. Travellers comparing a Stockholm vacation rental, a Swedish holiday home or archipelago accommodation should choose according to city time, island travel, privacy and space.
Where is the best place to stay in the Stockholm archipelago?
Central Stockholm suits a city-first trip; a ferry-served island suits travellers who want island immersion; and the inner archipelago suits groups who want nature with easier city access. Villa Bianca is a private option on road-connected Älgö for up to 10 guests.
Independent accommodation planning
A villa for every Nordic season
Summer
Long days on the terraces, a heated pool and easy time close to the water.
Autumn & winter
The hot tub, wood-fired sauna and fireplace make shorter days feel deliberate rather than limiting.
Spring
Clear light, quiet mornings and outdoor spaces returning to life before the main summer weeks.
Stockholm Archipelago Trail
Stockholm Archipelago Trail.
The marked island-to-island route runs about 270 kilometres from Arholma to Landsort. It links roughly 20 trail islands by public ferry, so every walk should be planned for the chosen date.
Choose one stage
The official route is divided into island sections of different length and difficulty. A day hike is possible; check the current stage description first.
Plan the boats first
Ferry frequency, call-to-order departures and connections vary by date and season. Build the walk around the official travel planner rather than a fixed timetable.
Prepare for island conditions
Carry water, food, layers and suitable footwear. Weather, daylight, services and trail conditions can change quickly.
Use Villa Bianca as a private base
Villa Bianca is on Älgö, which is not an official trail stage. Treat the estate as a place to begin or finish an archipelago stay and arrange trail transport separately.
Is Villa Bianca on the Stockholm Archipelago Trail?
No. Villa Bianca is on Älgö, which is not one of the official marked trail islands. Guests who want to hike a section should choose an island and plan the full connection for their dates using the official trail planner.
