Damon BeckfordGuide to Finland

Björnhofvda Gård is a peaceful and pretty countryside guesthouse tucked into open fields and surrounded by apple trees, just half an hour from Mariehamn. It’s got that perfect mix of cozy, stylish, and down-to-earth. The interiors are really pretty.

The farm buildings are old, red wooden houses that have been beautifully restored, and the vibe here is calm, personal, and super welcoming. The rooms are full of character and feel like a mix between a small boutique hotel and a friend’s summer cottage.

The best part might be the food. Their summer restaurant serves locally sourced dishes that are honestly worth the trip alone. Definitely make a reservation if you plan to eat there — it’s a popular spot with locals too.

If you’re into peaceful places, good food, and a bit of slow travel, I think you’ll love this one.
