The story of Villa Eira: From Spa to Hostel

Villa Eira has a long and proud history dating back to the late 1800s when it was part of the Hjo Water Spa. Originally built to serve as a medical station, Villa Eira soon became a popular destination for those seeking health and relaxation on the shores of Lake Vättern.

During the early 1900s, Villa Eira and the entire spa area underwent several changes that reflected the social and economic changes of the time. After the end of the spa era, the building was transformed into the hostel it is today, run by a family passionate about preserving its historical heritage while welcoming guests from all over the world.

This journey from spa to hostel is not only part of Villa Eira’s history but also an important part of Hjos’ cultural and social history. By preserving and cherishing this history, Villa Eira continues to be a living part of the community and a witness to the many changes that shaped both the building and the city.
