Location & Surroundings

We can hardly conceal our excitement about the farm, the landscape and the nature experiences that await you here in the very heart of Österlen.

If you wish, park the car for your whole stay. We will happily guide you to beautiful hiking or cycling routes and suggest worthwhile excursions. Should you want a picnic, we will pack a basket with delicious local bites and refreshing drinks.

In spring the apple trees and rapeseed fields burst into blossom. Summer brings green paddocks where horses graze beside the farm. Autumn paints the woods in deep yellow, orange, red and brown. Winter on Österlen spans everything from snowstorms to gentle Scanian mist. Whatever the weather, the surroundings remain captivating.

Below you can see what awaits when you visit us.

Allé på Österlen

Allé’s Setting – The Estate

Our hotel and restaurant sit in an extended 19th-century farmstead on the ridge that forms Stenshuvud National Park. After passing Kivik, turn onto Stenshuvudsvägen, lined by apple orchards, open fields and sweeping views. At the crest, branch off the avenue to our farm, sheltered in a small valley.

A traditional Scanian farmstead creates its own sense of place. On the horizon the church tower of Södra Mellby is just visible. Meadows surround the courtyard. Roe deer sometimes wander the woodland edge below, and in early summer you can hear the tree frogs sing. Our landscaped garden is yours to enjoy.

In 2022 we received the Simrishamn Architecture Prize with the jury’s words:
“Allé på Österlen has gradually created and refined a unique total experience of food, drink and setting through a carefully considered conversion of the historic buildings, with great attention to detail, local contemporary design, the place itself and the original farm architecture.”

The Landscape Around Us

The countryside near Kivik is a rare environment, largely untouched by Sweden’s industrial era. Sandy beaches line the coast, small streams reach the sea, and hills and sand ridges create shifting vistas often ending in blue water. Stenshuvud juts into the Baltic and stands as the area’s natural landmark. Inland the landscape is mainly farmland, but pockets of deciduous and coniferous forest add variety.
A walk here is a journey through time: Stone-Age remains, medieval churches, the farming heritage and the present day. The area is rich in rural idylls with orchards, fields, preserved old farmsteads, small villages and fishing hamlets.
