Majken and Emanuel are island fans - they lived on islands as children or spent their summers there. So it's no wonder that the two of them have built a real island retreat with "Goda" on the island of Svartsö, not far from Stockholm. For the two, island life means being part of a community, shopping locally, living in harmony with nature, without noise, without excessive comfort - but with a lot of adventure.

In the minimalist wooden houses, most of the furniture was designed and built as part of the house. Small features such as the staircase, which is also the kitchen shelf, built-in beds with a view of the sky and seating with a view of the lake ensure an individual and cozy style. The bathrooms are modern and bright. The large kitchens are fully equipped and invite you to cook together - there is even an outdoor pizza oven and a large fireplace in the living room.

Between the houses for a total of fourteen guests there is almost something like village life - here everyone can switch between the sauna with outdoor shower, the jetty by the lake or the orangery with a large table and find the right place to relax, read, play, choose works or designs.

With long walks, a dinner together and nice conversations under the starry sky, you find yourself more and more. Here you really live in and with nature, whose constantly changing colors and sounds accompany the daily routine. About eighty people live on the island and as a guest you share this particularly idyllic place with them for a while.
