Unikiki paikka. Mielenkiintoinen historia. Upea sisustus. Ystävällinen ja lämminhenkinen kohtaaminen ja palvelut. Hotelli on pieni ja asiakkaat kohdellaan yksilönä. Hieno lisä oli yhteiset ruokailut saman pöydän ääressä muiden vieraiden kanssa. Helppo suositella!

We had such a lovely stay with Sage and Jannika at Hotel Svala. We stayed in the suite which was a really beautiful space and so was the entire hotel, Sage is a professional set designer which you can really tell. All rooms were meticulously designed, both regarding coloring that matched the surrounding Åland landscape and with a distinct retro feel to everything from furniture to the smallest utensils in the dining room. It kind of felt like you were in a Wes Andersson movie set in the Finnish archipelago. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was also really nice. If you like the look of the website you will love the hotel. The service and food were also amazing, all done by Jannika and Sage – we stayed a full week and were treated to delicious meals both breakfast, lunch and dinner. They take care to pick out the best produce from local farmers and really made a feast of all meals. The hotel is small and dinner was always served in communal style with all guests around a shared table which was really fun as you got to talk to lots of different people passing through. Kumlinge is a lovely little island and neighboring Seglinge which is a 7 min (free) boat ride away is also really beautiful and has a really nice hiking trail that lets you take in both cliffs, the ocean and birch forest. We mostly took it easy during our stay, read books, went for walks, had a swim and enjoyed the quiet and calm. We even saw a moose swimming over to a neighboring island (!). Sage and Jannika shared a lot about the background to how they started the hotel and you felt immediately like you had been welcomed in to the family. In all, a perfect stay, both for a short stay if you’re travelling through the archipelago or for a longer period if you really want to relax and wind down for a couple of days.

We stayed at Hotel Svala for about a week and it was a totally unique experience. To visit Svala is more than to visit Åland, it is to visit a destination of its own. The ferrys out to the hotell are wonderful, Jannika and Sage are the most attentative hotel owners you can imagine. To visit Svala is a break not only for your body but also for your mind. We can’t recommend the hotel enough for anybody that needs to recharge both body and soul. The styling of the hotel is also perfect and both Jannika and Sage are great chefs so the dinners is a pleasure to enjoy!
