Guesthouse Enigheten is a magical place by the sea on Foglo. It’s rustic, yes, and perhaps a little expensive for what you get given the bathrooms are shared in a separate building like a campsite, but it’s overflowing with charm and character....

Aamupala on ihan perusaamupala; ei mitään ihmeellisyyksiä, mutta vatsansa saa täyteen.

Really nice historical building. Nice seaview from the window. They offered to prepare the breakfast 30 minutes earlier so that we could catch the morning boat from Överö with a bicycle.

Property info

Enigheten (The Unity) is a historic guesthouse in the village of Degerby, Föglö. The first guesthouse was built by orders of the Swedish king Gustav Adolf in 1625. The current buildings were constructed in the 18th century after the old guesthouse burnt down. The guesthouse was also used as a place for a court of law for centuries, handling disputes and criminal cases from many of the surrounding islands. The last court convened here in 1944. For some time in the 20th century the place laid barren, until it was given to the local historical society and renovated. In 1985 we opened our doors again. In 2015 we completed the renovation of our own little pier to receive guests and visitors with their own boats. Welcome to stay in this historical environment!
