Isabella’s Midsummer Escape: A Relaxing Retreat at Garbolund Farm

My adventure to a peaceful retreat at Garbolund Farm

In late June 2024, my friend and I decided to escape the hustle and bustle of Copenhagen by visiting Garbolund in Annisse. The journey was straightforward, taking about 1.5 hours via public transport from Copenhagen.

Garbolund is owned and lovingly operated by the amazing Jette, who greeted us warmly upon arrival. Our goal for this trip was simple: to unwind, enjoy nature, and indulge in some delicious food.

Where we stayed

The trip to Garbolund was smooth and enjoyable, with the scenery gradually transitioning from urban to lush greenery as we approached. The final leg of the journey, a bus ride, dropped us off right at Garbolund’s doorstep, making it incredibly easy to get there.

Upon arrival, Jette welcomed us with a tour of the farm, sharing the rich history behind it. This personal touch made our stay even more special, allowing us to appreciate every detail of the property. The service was impeccable, and Jette’s passion for Garbolund was evident throughout our stay.

We stayed in a spacious 4-person room called the “Pilgrimsstuen.” The room was well-equipped with everything we needed, from morning coffee to a cozy space to read and listen to the radio. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the tapas platter prepared by Jette. The platter featured local, organic, and home-produced ingredients, which we savored while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the farm. The experience of sipping Garbolund wine, surrounded by fresh flowers and a serene setting, was everything we could have wished for.

How to plan for this adventure:

- Pack Light: You don’t need much more than yourself, as Jette has thoughtfully provided everything you’ll need, from bedding to meals. Take advantage of the option to purchase dinner and breakfast, which makes your stay even more relaxing.
