Siggesta gård, Farm hotel and recreational center in Värmdö, Sweden

Siggesta gård is a former farm in Värmdö now operated as a hotel and recreation center with 46 rooms, some featuring fireplaces and patios, plus self-catering options. The site includes an on-site restaurant, outdoor sports facilities, and nature trails across the property.

Siggesta gård is documented from 1323. According to Beskrifning öfver Stockholms län it belonged to the Vasa family in the Middle Ages, was given to the church, returned to the Vasa family after the Reformation, and was granted by King Erik XIV to Jakob Bagge the Elder; the Svinhufvud, Fleming (1662) and von Scheven (1770) families later appear in the ownership records. A main building demolished in 1732 was replaced by Gabriel Cronstedt's new manor house, which decayed and was torn down in 1872. The present main building was erected in 1938 to a 1700s-romantic design by architect W Nathanson, and Olof Stenhammar has owned the estate since 1990.

The property reflects rural Swedish life through its restaurant serving regional dishes and farm-based activities that keep agricultural traditions alive. Seasonal events and markets here showcase local craftsmanship and connect visitors to the rhythms of the countryside.

The property is about 20 minutes by car from Stockholm and has free parking with public transit within a 5-minute walk. The site opens daily and works well for visitors wanting self-catering stays or restaurant meals.

The property is home to alpacas, goats, and horses that visitors can interact with closely, plus educational paths showing local plants and wildlife. This connection to animal farming gives the place a distinctive character beyond standard hotel offerings.
