Vimmerby Holiday Village
BackVimmerby Stugby offers a charming base for families and groups who want to experience Astrid Lindgren's World and the nature experiences around Vimmerby. This holiday village consists of well-maintained small houses located at Stolpetorp 111 and is a practical starting point for excursions in the region.
One of the strongest advantages is the calm and friendly environment. The owners Ingvarg and Kajsa (the names in the reviews vary slightly in different sources) are often perceived as very accommodating and inviting. Visitors often mention the homely feeling and the opportunity to feel welcome immediately upon arrival. This type of personal service is one of the key factors of the holiday village when it comes to loyal return visits.
Another clear strength is that the cabins are often perceived as clean and well-maintained, with functional amenities that students and adults appreciate. Several reviews also point to the AC in the cabins, which is a significant comfort factor during summer periods or hot days. The fact that the area is considered well-maintained contributes to a safe stay for families with children.
The area around Vimmerby Stugby naturally provides opportunities for various activities. The proximity to Astrid Lindgren's World makes the location particularly attractive for families looking for a combination of accommodation and entertainment experiences. Guests who have contacted the holiday village describe the location as a practical starting point for day trips, with the potential to save time in planning compared to accommodation further towards the city.
Disadvantages and considerations
- Distances to the city center or certain attractions may be slightly longer than central alternatives, which may affect walking distance to grocery stores or restaurants.
- Some priority amenities such as exact number of beds or bed configurations (e.g. bunk beds) may vary between cabins; it is a good idea to check exactly what is included in each unit before booking.
- Reviews that mention price levels in comparison to similar accommodations in the area may indicate that it's worth reading through what's included in the price of each booking.
Guests' own comments highlight an experience that is strongly geared towards families and small groups looking for a slimmed-down, yet functional home-away-from-home feel. For those who prioritize modern infrastructure and immediate access to the pulse of the city, options closer to the city center or with more restaurants nearby may be a better choice. However, the charming setting and quiet area weigh heavily for those looking to relax after a day in the park or a walk in the forest.
What makes this property special for hotel and hotel-related searches
- Accommodation in a rural setting that serves as a base for family weeks

From a customer perspective, it is important to book with clear information about how the cottages are equipped, what the bed configuration looks like and what facilities are included in the price. For a family wanting to visit Astrid Lindgren's World, this accommodation can serve as a comfortable base, especially when you want to get more out of your holiday by staying in a quieter area with space for play and relaxation.
Summary of the experience
Vimmerby Stugby appears to be an attractive option for those looking for comfortable accommodation in a quiet area close to one of the region's biggest tourist attractions. The personal service and the maintenance of the cottages are clear advantages. For customers who want that extra hotel detail – such as quick access to amenities and proximity to the city – it may be worth weighing the distance to the city center and varying bed configurations against the length.
