Swedish summer home

[ValiumtheConqueror]

our family is thinking of investing in a holiday home and I'm hoping friendly MNetters can recommend good areas to buy. Other Sweden-related advice also welcome!!

Hi Vslium,

am not Swedish but do have some good Swedish friends who have a holiday home on Oland. Sounds and looks gorgeous (haven't been myself). Hope a proper Swede (like annamama ) comes along soon.

Thanks Flip- any help welcome. You'll be first on the invite list!!

Are you looking for coastal or in the countryside?

The South and West Coasts are lovely as is Gotland

Thanks Eldon- I'm sure that DH wants coast, although he's been scouting pictures of snow-covered houses. Does it snow in coastal areas too?

I think it snows in the South but not as much as in the North

How will you get there? Might be best to look near your preferred airports/ports

Good point; will consult DH who is the dogsbody trip planner!

Have you looked at The Local ?
there are plenty of articles on there in the property section, and fora on there too to discuss things...
Which part of Sweden do you like?
