Nature & Surroundings
Villa Friluftsliv is located near Tärnsjö, surrounded by the forests and lakes of central Sweden. Here, you can enjoy the peace and privacy of the countryside, while the culture, restaurants and lively atmosphere of Uppsala and Stockholm remain within easy reach. It’s the perfect base for combining slow days in nature with a day trip to the city.
Färnebofjärden National Park
Just a 15-minute drive from Villa Friluftsliv you'll find Färnebofjärden National Park, one of Sweden's most remarkable natural areas. In the park you will find a extraordinary variety of birds, plants and wildlife. Walk the trails, paddle the waterways, or simply stand in the forest and take it in. It's the kind of place that makes you understand why Swedes live the way they do.

Summer
Long days, warm evenings, wildflowers, birdsong, and the unmistakable feeling of a Scandinavian summer. The hot tub after a lake swim is a particular highlight.
Autumn
The forest turns gold and copper. Foraging season peaks. The air gets crisp. Evenings in the hot tub feel even better when there's a chill in the air.
Winter
Snow covers everything. The forest is silent. The hot tub steams against the cold. There is nowhere better to be.
Spring
The ice breaks, the birds return, the light comes back. A quieter season, and a beautiful one.
