The Best Hotel in Southwestern Coast and the Ålands, Finland

Run by a charming couple and at the end of a remote rustic lane, just a 30-minute drive from Mariehamn and close to Eckerö, Björnhofvda Gård is one of the best country-lodge hotels in the archipelago. A cooked and/or continental breakfast is included with an overnight stay either in the main house or in outlying buildings, one of which dates back to the 19th century. There is a proper old-style wood-burning sauna, a well-stocked wine cellar, scenic shorelines within walking distance, and deer roaming in the nearby fields. The restaurant offers a set menu changing daily in summer and monthly at other times (closed Sunday and Monday).
