The soulful town house in the heart of Faaborg

About this house

If you walk along the pavement on Færgevej in Faaborg, you will come to this small town house, where you can enjoy the simple life both close to each other and close to the neighbours. From the sidewalk you enter directly through the front door and into some holiday days with a very characteristic old-fashioned townhouse atmosphere in the restored house from 1875. It can accommodate two adults and two children, but there is also room for the youngest to sleep in the cot.

In the living room, you can stream movies on the sumptuous leather furniture, or grab a moment to yourself by the reading lamp in the corner. You'll also find a small work corner with a desk, where you can hook up to wi-fi and do some work on your laptop, or the kids can colour in colouring books. When you're done playing games in the evening and the kids are done drinking soda, you can head upstairs to the first floor and the bedrooms. Here the whole family can sleep soundly on the Mermory foam mattresses.

The kitchen opens onto the private patio. Here you can soak up the sun on the wooden terrace or eat cold cabbage under the parasol. You can also grill dinner and eat it here in the patio while the city buzzes outside. If you need to cool off, it's easy to slip into your swimsuit and walk the 200 metres down to the harbour pool from the front door, where you can jump straight into the fjord. The little ones can swim in the shallow water and you can take a sauna together.

The house is in the Østerbro district, which is worth preserving, and you can walk straight to the pedestrian street and go shopping. Visit Faaborg Museum, for example, where you can see paintings and sculptures, but the building itself is also a work of art with its patterned mosaic floors. Children can also go on an art treasure hunt here. You can have lunch at the restaurant Det Hvide Pakhus and follow it with a half-hour ride from Faaborg to Korinth on the South Funen Veteran Railway.
