Rooftop sauna

Book the sauna for sunset

Wood-fired, for your party only, with a view over the church ruins to the Baltic.

“We kept the beams, the floor and the smell of old limestone. Everything else we built for sleeping well.”

The house was built in 1742 for a merchant who shipped Gotland lime across the Baltic. It was a warehouse, then a print shop, then empty for thirty years.

We restored it with island craftspeople between 2019 and 2022: lime plaster, oak from Gotland, linen woven in Sweden. There are no two rooms alike, because no two walls were alike.

Visby and the island

A UNESCO town on your doorstep, sea stacks an hour north.

Visby's ring wall is 3.4 km long and still has 27 of its towers. You can walk all of it in an hour; the hotel is on its western side, facing the sea.

Questions

Before you come

When can I check in and out?

Check-in from 15:00, check-out by 11:00, or 13:00 if you booked directly with us. Arriving on an early ferry? Leave your bags and have breakfast while you wait.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 7 days before arrival. During Medieval Week (week 32) it is 30 days, because the town fills up a year ahead.

Is there parking?

Cars are not allowed in our lane in summer. We have six spaces outside the wall, 5 minutes away, at 150 kr a day. Book one with your room.

Can I bring children or a dog?

Children are welcome; cots are free. The Garden Rooms take dogs (250 kr per stay) and have their own walled gardens.

Is the hotel accessible?

One Garden Room is step-free with a roll-in shower. The Tower Rooms and the Loft are reached by stairs only; the house is from 1742 and has no lift.
