Villa Millaboda – Historic Swedish Country House for Families and Groups in Småland

Villa Millaboda is a spacious and lovingly renovated Swedish country house in the small village of Ryd in the heart of Småland. The house combines everything that makes a holiday in Sweden special: plenty of space, forests and lakes right on the doorstep, a large garden and the unmistakable character of a traditional Swedish home. Although Villa Millaboda has been extensively renovated, its original charm has deliberately been preserved. Historic details, wooden elements and the cosy interior give the house a warm and authentic Swedish atmosphere.

With around 160 m² of living space and room for up to eight guests, Villa Millaboda is especially well suited for families, two families travelling together or groups of friends. There are four separate bedrooms, providing plenty of space and privacy even when the house is fully occupied.

The house was originally built in 1927 and most recently renovated in 2026. Great care was taken to preserve the character of the traditional Swedish country house. The rooms feel personal, warm and unmistakably Swedish – ideal for guests looking for a holiday home with history and atmosphere rather than something standardised.

The spacious living area is a comfortable place to spend evenings together, read, play games or simply relax after a day outdoors. A fireplace or stove creates a particularly cosy atmosphere on cooler days and adds to the traditional Swedish feeling of the house. Firewood is available on site.

For entertainment, there is Wi-Fi as well as a Smart TV with internet access and free video-on-demand. Books and board games are also available. One of the special features of the villa is the piano, which fits perfectly with the historic and individual character of the house.

The separate kitchen with dining area is well equipped and offers plenty of space for larger families and groups. Facilities include an induction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and an additional freezer. A coffee machine, kettle, toaster and a wide range of kitchen utensils are also provided.

The bathroom has both a shower and a bathtub. There is also a separate guest toilet. A washing machine and drying rack make the house practical for longer stays as well.

Villa Millaboda is also well prepared for families with small children. A baby cot, high chair and children’s toys are available. Outside, there is plenty of space for children to play and move around. A trampoline, basketball hoop and football goal provide additional entertainment.

Guests who would like to explore the surroundings actively can use four bicycles, subject to availability. The house also has its own private fitness room.

A large part of the holiday experience takes place outdoors. Villa Millaboda is set on an approximately 10,000 m² fenced property with garden and a large lawn. This gives families with children and guests travelling with dogs plenty of space and freedom.

A terrace, garden furniture and hammock invite you to relax outside. There is also a dedicated barbecue area and a firepit – perfect for shared meals, summer barbecues or a quiet evening around the fire.

A lake is located only around 300 metres from the house. A large rowing boat for up to seven people is included in the stay and can be used during your holiday. This makes it easy for families and groups to explore the Swedish lake landscape together from the water. The combination of lake, boat and the peaceful countryside around Ryd is especially attractive for nature lovers and anglers.

Up to two dogs are welcome at Villa Millaboda for an additional fee. Thanks to the large fenced property, the house is also very suitable for a holiday in Sweden with dogs.

The area around Ryd shows Småland at its most typical: deep forests, quiet lakes, small country roads and plenty of nature. You can go hiking, cycling, swimming, fishing or simply enjoy the peace and quiet. Shops and restaurants are located around two kilometres away.

Villa Millaboda is therefore more than just a holiday home – it is a place for spending time together. Families can enjoy their holiday under one roof, children have plenty of space to play, and larger groups still have enough room to retreat and relax.

The house is non-smoking. Up to two dogs are welcome for an additional fee. Bed linen and towels are included. The large rowing boat for up to seven people is also included. Four bicycles are available subject to availability. Free private parking is available directly at the property. Electricity is charged according to actual consumption. A security deposit of 300 euros is required for the stay.

Villa Millaboda is a special choice for anyone who wants to experience the original charm of Småland. The historic house from 1927, its careful renovation, four bedrooms, piano, Smart TV with internet, large garden, barbecue area, firepit, basketball hoop, football goal, rowing boat, bicycles and the nearby lake create excellent conditions for a relaxed holiday with family or friends – with plenty of space, nature and authentic Swedish character.
