About the accommodation

Gällnö is located in the central archipelago, just 90 minutes by boat from central Stockholm. It is, even so, far from the stress of city life. There are no cars on the gravel roads, and the flat slabs for swimming are warm. We have cosy cabins waiting for you close to great places for swimming, a guest harbour and store.

Here at Gällnö life can be descibed as one of peace and tranquility. The island is genuine with large, open pastures and grazing animals. The lush meadows and pastures mixed with forest and dotted with rocks and beaches.
 
Gällnö is for those who want to experience how the archipelago was once, with well-preserved buildings and open spaces.There is one functioning farm whose cows graze over nearly the entire island. Only about 30 people live year-round on Gällnö.
 
We hope that you will enjoy your stay with us!
