Svartsö is a corner of heaven that's fallen on earth. The stf hostel is a good place to explore this little island by bike, hiking, sailing or even swimming. It's functional, located 1 minute from the ferry dock. Bring your own food (or you'll have to eat frozen dinners found on location, book them to guarantee). They have bikes, but the nearest (and only) shop is 20 minutes away.

This accommodation has a peaceful location on the island of Grinda in the Stockholm archipelago, only 30 minutes by ferry from Waxholm.

The cottages allow to visit Grinda and neighbouring islands. I guess they are equivalent to any other cottage on other islands of the archipelago from what we could see ! Which means that there is no water inside the cottage, and one has to cope with the smelly dry toilets !
Situated by the 16th century Vaxholm Castle, Kastellet Bed & Breakfast offers a unique experience in historical settings. The guest house is found on a small island in Stockholm’s archipelago.

I spent a night/day here on an October weekend with my boyfriend. We took the #12 ferry from Slussen in Stockholm to the Norra Svartso stop both ways. Luckily, the weather was great, which let us take advantage of the beautiful island! We rented bikes and helmets from our hostel (STF Svartso) and biked around the island! Because it's not tourist season, restaurants and cafes were closed, so we ate both breakfast and lunch at the hostel. This was a beautiful place to visit, very bikeable and walkable, and I would highly recommend this place for people who love natural scenery and spending time outside!

A surprisingly enjoyable island not far from Stockholm.
A surprisingly enjoyable island not far from Stockholm. It's a good compromise between civilization and tranquility, with only a couple of small villages over a larger area, the rest being covered by forest and vegetation.
If you want to avoid the people and immerse yourself in nature, you need to go off the beaten path. It's unfortunate that a lot of the island seems to be walled off by private properties.
You can rent a bike either at the southern dock or the northern hostel, and it is the recommended method of transportation.
There are 2 restaurants on the island, and between them I recommend the one closer to the hostel. Less crowded, good food and service.
There aren't many activities to do normally, so I would recommend to bring your own. In the summer there's a cultural festival (in the middle of July) and you can join the locals in dancing, concerts and other stuff.
Last thing to mention: bring anti-mosquito lotion. Lots of it.
