Authentic Danish summer cottage charm

Welcome inside

Are you dreaming of a holiday where tranqui­li­ty, nature and a view of the water set the pace? Then this beautiful holiday home in Borgnæs is an obvious choice. Here you live in one of Ærø's most sought-after holiday home areas – sur­ro­un­ded by open fields, forest and coast, and with the water only a few minutes' walk from the house.

The cottage is bright and spacious with plenty of space for both the family and several ge­ne­ra­tions on holiday together. From the entrance there is access to the bathroom, which has both a shower and a bathtub, and further in, the house opens up into a large living room with an open kitchen.

The living room quickly becomes the natural gathering point. There is plenty of room for cozy meals, games and long evenings together - and from several of the rooms of the house you can enjoy the beautiful view of the water.

The house has three good rooms and an extra available room that is furnished as a bedroom. This provides great op­portu­ni­ties to gather the whole family under one roof and at the same time have room to retreat.

Enjoy life outside

Borgnæs is very much about life under the open sky. At the house you get plenty of space around you and a lovely secluded terrace, where the holiday days can begin with morning coffee in the sun and end with barbecue and cozy summer evenings.

The beach is only about 100 meters from the cottage, and here you will find both a bathing jetty and the op­portu­ni­ty to pull up a smaller boat. This makes the area ideal for summer days with swimming, kayaking, pad­dle­bo­ar­ding, fishing or just relaxing by the water's edge.

Borgnæs is one of Ærø's few actual holiday home areas, and it is precisely the com­bi­na­tion of beach, nature and peaceful holiday at­mosp­he­re that makes the area par­ti­cu­lar­ly popular with both children and adults. Bring your fishing rod or fishing net – perhaps the greatest holiday ex­pe­ri­en­ce of the day will be caught right down by the water.

Only a few hundred meters from the cottage there is a small forest that the Danish Nature Agency establis­hed in 1990 with, among other things, oak and beech. Within walking distance you will also find Stokkeby Nor, which has been de­sig­na­ted as a Natura 2000 area due to the area's special coastal nature and im­portan­ce for breeding birds. Here there are plenty of op­portu­ni­ties for walks and small nature ex­pe­ri­en­ces close to the house.

Get close to local ex­pe­ri­en­ces

Even though you live pea­ce­ful­ly and close to nature, it is only about 4 km to Ærøskøbing – the charming town that is called the Fairytale City for good reason. Here you will find colourful, well-main­tai­ned houses, cobbled streets and a vibrant en­viron­ment with cafés, re­stau­rants and exciting little shops.

Ærøskøbing is not a museum town, but a town where life is lived in the middle of the historic sur­ro­un­dings. In the summer, the streets are buzzing with life, and it is not unusual to meet a newlywed couple on their way through the city – Ærø is known far beyond the country's borders as a wedding island. From Ærøskøbing, the ferries also sail regularly to Svendborg.

If you want to ex­pe­ri­en­ce more of the island, the distances on Ærø are short. To the east lies Marstal with its strong maritime history, cozy harbor, shops and re­stau­rants. A visit to the Marstal Maritime Museum is an obvious ex­pe­ri­en­ce for both children and adults and provides a vivid insight into the seafaring that has cha­ra­cte­rized the town for ge­ne­ra­tions.

To the west you will find Søby, Ærø's smallest main town, beau­ti­ful­ly located by the harbour and close to some of the island's most specta­cu­lar natural areas. From here, it is not far to Skjoldnæs Ligh­t­hou­se, where the view from the northern tip of Ærø stretches over the South Funen Ar­chipela­go, the Little Belt and the Baltic Sea. Around the ligh­t­hou­se is also Ærø Golf Club with its im­pres­si­ve location right next to the sea.

On Ærø, ex­pe­ri­en­ces are never far away. Here you will find beach, nature, cozy urban en­viron­ments, local specialty shops, good eateries and small moments that quickly turn into holiday memories. And with free buses on the island, it's easy to leave the car and explore.

This holiday home in Borgnæs is therefore an obvious starting point for those who want to combine relaxing holiday days close to the beach with Ærø's many local ex­pe­ri­en­ces - all in quiet and scenic sur­ro­un­dings.
