We, Johan and Wilma Akkerman, have changed our lives drastically. After having worked for a long time with education and banking, we wanted to really do something different. After spending a holiday in Sweden we knew it: Sweden is our country. In January 2007, we bought SalbohedGården. This 12.5 ha big property with five old buildings is situated in beautiful woodland surroundings in the province of Västmanland. This province is a mix of areas with their own typical things that make it Swedish. You can say that Västmanland is a small version of Sweden. The surroundings are magical every time of the year. Sweden with its charming red houses and wide farming landscape, the beautiful nature, lakes and animals. In Winter, from November, every house has a light for each and every window. You feel like driving through a Christmas card. It is like a fairytale!

Not only the surroundings but also the building itself gives a special feeling to SalbohedGården. The "Officers' House" was erected in the year 1818, and tells its own history. There are only two similar buildings left in Sweden, and Salbohed is noted in the books of history. In the past, this house was for army officers, and has now become our unique Bed & Breakfast (Hotel). In the morning, looking out of your window, you will see deers walking by. When you enjoy breakfast in the Officers' House by the fire, you can enjoy seeing birds play around. Any day, when walking in the forest, you will be surprised at how many different kinds of birds you will see. All this makes you relax and enjoy. This is a warm place in all respects. Johan and Wilma have captured the simple beauty and warm hospitality of Sweden in Salbohed.

Our B & B (Hotel) is situated in central Sweden, a good hour's drive from Stockholm. Our beautiful and spacious rooms, apartments and conference rooms await you. We also offer a host of activities: there is sauna, and WiFi (wireless internet) is available in all buildings. On arrival, you will be warmly greeted, perhaps with a fire burning in the grate for you. You will feel at home away from home from the first minute. A delicious breakfast will be served.

We, Johan and Wilma Akkerman and our two Dutch Partridge dogs, are looking forward to giving you a warm welcome when we see you in our SalbohedGården B&B (Hotel).

To make you feel at home is our goal!

Open the whole year!
