Redefining accommodation
Think about your most joyful memories of your travels. What do they have in common? Often it will be a human aspect, not accommodation, activities or luxuries on their own. It will likely be a warm encounter with local people, a thoughtful gesture, the feeling of being welcome at a place, a sense of true tranquillity, shared with your family in a beautiful environment… belonging in the moment.
What is the role of accommodation in a holiday? Surely it can offer more than beds and food, right? When we looked to those thoughts, we involved our own experiences and values and developed the Stilleben experience: a real heart-warming approach, where people feel welcomed and at home.
Driven by purpose
We run our business, our hotel, by a set of values of which we do not deviate from so easily. For us, this is integrity and we wouldn't want to run our place without this important feat.
The hotel itself, with its fine rooms and tasteful decoration in the forests of country-side Sweden, is merely a vessel that supports how we want to welcome our guests. What really drives us, is how we can make our guests' stay - no matter how long - into an unforgettably heart warming and nourishing experience:
How we can have a relationship with our guests that feels genuine, real and honest.
How we can create an environment that allows us and our guests to share stories, talk about values and dreams, no matter their point of view.
How we can share what we have learned so far - both from our own journey and what we learned along the way from our guests - planting some seeds along the way so they can go home inspired and nourished.
