Having spent a day trekking, warm up by your log-burner, before enjoying your \u2018catch of the day\u2019 dish, fresh from the Baltic. Settled in the tiny neighbouring islet, the Svisk\u00e4r is your truly back-to-basics alternative in that it\u2019s quaint \u2018hermit\u2019s cabin\u2019 is electricity-free and allows you to fully detach yourself from everything and just delight in the sounds and smells of nature.<\/p>\n<h2>Why we like it<\/h2>\n<p>On these stunning, private islets, we love the way the Silversk\u00e4r &amp; Svisk\u00e4r blend in with their natural environment as they generate a truly tranquil and authentic feel, so you feel like a real \u2018\u00c5lander\u2019 at one with nature.
