July 1, 2024
With an ever-growing calendar of events and activities, there is always something new to experience
In Hjo, our enchanting wooden town on the shores of Lake Vättern, residents and visitors experience something unique. It may be the changing colors of Lake Vättern that catch the eye, the historic wooden architecture that evokes nostalgic feelings, or the intimate atmosphere of a town where everyone knows everyone. This unique blend creates a sense of community and belonging, and it is here, at the heart of this charm, that Villa Eira stands as a bridge between the past and the present. Our hostel offers not only a place to sleep, but also an opportunity to dive deep into Hjo’s rich cultural heritage while enjoying modern comfort and sustainability.
At Villa Eira, we live in harmony with our historic setting and modern amenities, providing a unique experience in Hjo’s charming city park. With one foot in turn-of-the-century tradition and the other in a future of innovation and sustainability, our hostel offers more than just a place to stay; it is a portal to both relaxation and local festivities.
At Villa Eira, we pride ourselves on our commitment to the environment and our local culture. We decorate with care and choose second-hand furniture that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable. We are affiliated with the STF Swedish Tourist Association and are committed to preserving our environment and cultural heritage. We value sustainability highly, from the recycling of materials to the fact that our transportation is done by electric parcel bike or public transport.
Making our guests feel comfortable and at home is central to us at Villa Eira. We strive to make every visit personal and memorable, made possible by our passionate staff and our unique location in the heart of Hjo. Whether you are here to experience the pulse of the city at the Biergarten or seeking a quiet retreat in the greenery of the park, Villa Eira has something for you.
Let us take you on a journey through the history of Villa Eira, a journey that begins in 1876 when Aktiebolaget Hjo Vattenkuranstalt was founded. This important institution, founded by local notables such as landowner Harald Röhss and Count Gustaf Sparre, established the foundation for what is today Hjo Stadspark.
This historic complex quickly became a hub for health and recreation, with Villa Eira at the heart of its operations. Over the years, the building has transformed from a medical center to the esteemed hostel it is today, but its soul and history have been preserved. Now, as a heritage-listed building surrounded by the natural beauty of the City Park, Villa Eira continues to welcome guests seeking a unique experience – a blend of historical reverence and modern comfort.
While Villa Eira enjoys a picturesque and tranquil location in the City Park, we are also proud neighbors with the Biergarten – a place of community and festivities. This dynamic area offers our guests a taste of local culture and entertainment. Whether you’re here to immerse yourself in the festivities or retreat from them, Villa Eira offers the best of both worlds.
Our team at Villa Eira is at the heart of the warm welcome every guest receives. We are more than just staff; we are hosts who ensure that your stay is comfortable, personalized and unforgettable. Villa Eira is not just a place to stay – it is a home away from home, and we strive to make your time with us as rewarding as possible.
