Hotel Stallbacken Nagu — Hotel in Aboland

It is a beautiful place in a serene spot. The rooms were OK but not quite worth the 190 Euro. We were there on one of the hottest days of the year but there was only a small fan and no screen on the windows. The walls are thin and we could hear the family with kids next door. The terrace is lovely and we had an excellent dinner of salmon chowder, an open faced salmon tartare sandwich and a (white) fish well prepared. Unfortunately the bar tender was young and inexperienced. The drinks were not worth the money: the Aperol sprits was made with prosecco that had lost its bubbles and the housewine was old and tired, a poor match for the excellent food.. The terrace was also nice at breakfast time except that the umbrella could not be opened “because it was dangerous,” as one of the waitstaff told us. It seems all they had to do was fill the base of the umbrella with water or sand. And so we ate with the sun in our eyes. There is a small beach which is well equipped with chairs, but it is not right by the hotel, requiring a 15 minute walk either down the roda or via a...

Three persons, almost 200 €/night. We expected a nice hotel where's everything in order. Well, it wasn't like that. A person at the reception was friendly and told us that the sauna will cost 30 € more. No thanks. The room was recently renovated and was from Ikea catalog. It was light coloured and quite nice. ||Toilet was awful. Walls or floor were never washed properly. They had some kind of dark layer on them. No floor towel, and other towels were in bad shape. Mirrors had been cleaned with a dirty cloth as they were white. Not anything to dry the floor with. ||Walls were so thin we could hear everything our neighbors said. Thank God we had earplugs with us.||The breakfast was average but we couldn't hear any good morning from the staff. The porridge was luke warm and got cold during eating. Home made bread was a nice surprise.||After all, the place was nice but if you charge that much, you have to give something back. Now we got a place to spend a night,...

I think the main takeaway here is that Mikael and Johanna are such lovely people to deal with. We stayed here in the weekend, I think it's early in the season and we were the only guests. We asked if it was possible to hire some bicycles with quite short notice and the owner Mikael and his colleague Johanna went to some trouble to arrange these for us. Johanna met us at the hotel when we arrived and showed us the bikes which had only just arrived. She looked after us extremely well, cooking a very nice dinner and also a fine breakfast. The room was comfortable, nicely furnished, spotlessly clean and had a fine view of the countryside. The hotel is in a very private secluded spot in the country about 4 km from Nagu harbour and is ideal to use as a base for exploring. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. Highly...
