In Hjo, the enchanting wooden town on the shores of Lake Vättern, residents and visitors experience something unique. It may be the changing colours of Lake Vättern that catch the eye, the historic wooden architecture that evokes nostalgic feelings, or the intimate atmosphere of a town where everybody knows each other. This unique blend creates a sense of community and belonging, and it is here, at the heart of this charmingness, 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 comforts with a sustainable focus.
At Villa Eira, we live in harmony with our historic setting and modern amenities,
providing a unique experience in Hjo’s pretty town park. With one foot in turn-of-the-century tradition and the other in a future of innovation and sustainability, our hostel provides more than just a place to stay; it is a portal to both relaxation and enjoyment of local events.
At Villa Eira, we pride ourselves on our commitment to the environment and our local heritage. We decorate rooms 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 we transport things by electric cargo bike or on 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 a buzzing night at the Biergarten or are 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 Hjo Stadspark still gracing the town today.
This historic complex quickly became a centre for health and recreation, with Villa Eira at its heart. Over the years, the building has been transformed from a medical facility to the cherished hostel it is today, with its soul and history preserved intact. Now, as a historic listed building surrounded by the natural beauty of the Town Park, Villa Eira continues to welcome guests seeking a unique experience – a blend of reverence for history and modern comforts.
While Villa Eira enjoys a picturesque and tranquil location in the Town Park, we are also proud neighbours of the Biergarten – a place for the community to gather and have fun. This lively 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 there to ensure that your stay is comfortable, personal 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 satisfying as possible.
