We live on Ängö, a beautiful island close to Kalmar City, that used to be the home of the fishermen in the 19th Century. There is a small beach near the house where you can go swimming. On the other side of the island we have a small motorboat (15 hp) that you can use!

From the small beach (and one of our balconies) you can see the long bridge to Öland. Öland is one of Swedens main tourist destinations and is also the summer visit of the Swedish king and his family, There is a lot to see in Öland, many beaches, flowers, bird watching, historical wind mills and nice surroundings. There is a public "bicycle boat" to Öland from the centre of Kalmar.

You also find the famous Swedish Glassworks (Kosta, Boda, Målerås, Orrefors, Skruf, Transjö etc) close to Kalmar.
The town of historical Kalmar has nice buildings and a baroque Dome from the 17th century. We also have a fantastic castle, Kalmar slott, which was founded in the 12th century. At the County Museum you can see the exhibition of Kronan, a military ship that sunk outside Öland in the 17th Century. We also have a contemporary Art Museum and a couple of interesting art galleries. In city center you will also find many outdoor cafés and restaurants.

Kalmar is a "summer town" several beaches and historical places. The City has been selected as "The Summer City of Sweden" many years.

If you like to walk in the forrest, we have plenty of it just outside the town. By foot or bike you can take many nice walks. We have five bikes (one is a tandem for two persons) that you can use.
