Is a holiday rental in Southern Sweden worth it?

Southern Sweden is the Sweden that German families know and love from the books of Astrid Lindgren – a gently rolling landscape of red wooden houses, quiet lakes, fragrant pine forests, and endless summer evenings bathed in golden light. The regions of Skåne, Småland, Blekinge, and Halland together offer an amazing variety: from the vast canola fields of Skåne to the enchanted forests of Småland and the archipelago coasts along the Kattegat and the Baltic Sea.
Småland is the heart of literary Sweden and the home of Astrid Lindgren: In Vimmerby stands Astrid Lindgren World, a theme park that brings Michel from Lönneberga, Pippi Longstocking, and Ronja the Robber's Daughter to life. The surrounding landscape with its stone walls, birch avenues, and red farmhouses looks just like it does in the books. Småland is also the center of Swedish glass art – in the so-called Glass Kingdom (Glasriket), you can watch glassblowers at work in over 15 glassworks and buy unique artworks.
Skåne in the far south is Sweden's granary and culinary main region: Here, canola, wheat, and apples grow, and the restaurants around Malmö and Lund serve New Nordic Cuisine at a world-class level. The coastal town of Ystad is internationally known through the Wallander crime novels, and the white sandy beaches of Sandhammaren are among the most beautiful in Scandinavia. By the Öresund Bridge, Copenhagen is only 30 minutes away from Malmö.
For German holidaymakers, Southern Sweden is ideally accessible by car thanks to ferry connections from Rostock, Travemünde, and Kiel to Trelleborg, Malmö, or Gothenburg. The region is perfect for the classic Swedish family holiday: a red holiday home by the lake, canoeing at the doorstep, blueberries in the forest, and moose standing at the forest edge at dawn.
