Tips for renting a holiday home on Gotland
Halfway between Latvia and Sweden, in the centre of the Baltic Sea, lays the island of Gotland. The unusual rock formations typical of its long beaches, the truffle rich woodlands and its medieval churches are amongst the many attractions which make 'The Pearl of the Baltic' a popular holiday rental destination.
A holiday home in Gotland
The charming Hanseatic city of Visby is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and with its well preserved wall and cobbled streets, has retained its traditional character and charm. Book a holiday apartment or a cosy holiday house and take a few days to explore the delights of 'The City of Roses' which include the Sancta Maria Cathedral, which was built in 1225, and the annual Medieval Week. During the summer months, travellers who rent a holiday home on Gotland can soak up its history whilst enjoying local specialties such as Saffranspannkaka, a pancake with cream and red berries. With its many sandy beaches and characteristic limestone pillars known as Rauks, the nearby island of Fårö, which can be easily reached by ferry, is a good place to rent a holiday house or a holiday apartment. A holiday rental in the region will allow you to explore the gorgeous Gotska Sandön National Park with its extensive sand dunes, seals basking in the sunshine and wide variety of bird life.
The best time to visit Gotland
The climate on Gotland is slightly milder than that of mainland Sweden due to its location. The perfect time to rent a holiday house on Gotland is from late May to August when temperatures range from 18°C to 22°C. The weather is warm and pleasant, ideal for outdoor activities such as swimming and sunbathing. The almost 'tropical' island of Gotland is the ideal place to spend an unforgettable holiday. Visitors can expect a wide variety of holiday rental opportunities near the dramatic coastline or in the heart of a medieval town.
