The Gift of Caring at Solbjerggaard: Discover Luxury in Every Moment

Albertine Steendamvisser • July 21, 2025

"My warmest recommendations for this beautiful place, where everything comes together perfectly and where we were lucky enough to spend a weekend. The most wonderful atmosphere, the kindest and most welcoming hostess, beautifully designed apartments (thoughtfully detailed in every way!), and a stunning surrounding area. It simply doesn’t get any better—and we, a big family, will definitely be back again." - Solveig



The Gift of Caring: what does that mean at Solbjerggaard?

At Solbjerggaard, our mission “the gift of caring” is the essence of every moment you spend with us. Located in the idyllic countryside of Millinge, Denmark, we do everything within our power to offer a memorable, full‑service experience that makes you want to return year after year and that celebrates warmth, joy, and thoughtful hospitality. In this post, we take you along in every little detail—from the crackling fireplace to our delicious, homemade and continuously celebrated breakfasts— giving you a small glimpse of what 'the gift of caring' looks and feels like here.



Cosy Evenings in the Barn

When the summer is over and the colder weather arrives, our restored barn turns into a cosy, intimate lounge area and our private living room in the main farmhouse becomes the most wonderful place to enjoy a Friday drink, while listening to jazz music and sitting in front of the fireplace. Imagine yourself curled up on a comfortable armchair, soft jazz playing, and the fireplace crackling gently nearby. Our local products, homemade treats, and delicious crackers are served in a beatiful way —proof that the gift of caring lies in creating a place of luxury, cosiness and comfort, no matter the season.




Farmhouse Living Room: A Sanctuary of Small Gestures

In the colder months, when our living room is opened up on Friday evenings for everyone to enjoy, you’ll immediately sense the soul of Solbjerggaard. From comfortable sofas, a beautiful view over the rolling hills, the fireplace crackling in the background and jazz music softly playing, to candles on every table, and soft blankets ready to curl up in. For us, true luxury is in the details: your favorite tea blend served in a lovely cup, a freshly baked cake, small gestures throughout your stay, and hand‑written notes wishing you a wonderful evening. Whenever you visit us, we take every chance we get to make you feel welcome and at home.




The most delicious breakfast

We love waking up slowly and starting the day, knowing that a delicious breakfast is waiting for us. And as such, at Solbjerggaard, you wake up to a delicious cup of tea or coffee and a breakfast made with care, using local ingredients. Our breakfasts are made with seasonality in mind: think seasonal fruits, homemade granola, organic yogurts, breads from the award winning bakery just a short drive away, and fresh apple juice, made by our neighbours. And should you have any special wishes, then please let us know, we would love to create a breakfast that is just the way you like it.


As some of our recent guests wrote:


"The breakfast is absolutely delicious! We’re already looking forward to coming back." - Marie


"We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, as well as the delightful dinner and generous breakfast made with local products—nothing was ever too much to ask." - Arnoud


"I’ve just had a wonderful stay with Marie-Louise during the Fåborg Winter Days. An incredibly warm and welcoming hostess. This isn’t just a “Bed & Breakfast”—it’s an experience. A delicious, locally sourced breakfast. Truly a place to treat yourself—highly recommended." - Bent


Although our breakfast might not be the reason you visit, it might become the reason you continue to return.





Spontaneous Dinners Under the Stars

At Solbjerggaard, we see spontaneity as a luxury, too.  On some evenings, we have long tables in the courtyard, the barn or the farmhouse, and invite guests to share a thoughtfully prepared meal. My mom, Marie-Louise or Lone, will lovingly prepare you the most delicious dinner —while you sip great wines or anything else you enjoy and toast with the other guests. It’s in these unplanned, cosy moments that the gift of caring truly shines through for us.





Cosy Winter and Autumn Moments by the Fire

Danish hygge. For us, there is nothing more cosy than candlelit, slow mornings starting off with a delicious breakfast and then enjoying long, crisp beach walks or visiting typically Danish Christmas markets and curling up in front of the fireplace with a good book and a hot tea or a hot chocolate with whipped cream. During the cosy winter and autumn months, we are there to provide you with lovely moments like these. Settle into our rustic barn or the cosy farmhouse living room where soft jazz music plays, books and magazines await, and where you can simply be and enjoy yourself.

It’s in these quieter months—when the world outside slows down—that the gift of caring, in our opinion, shines brightest. Cosy moments, good conversations, laughter, and the beauty of not having to do or be anywhere—that is what makes the autumn and winter months truly special here at Solbjerggaard.



Finding Beauty in the Small Moments

From the soft morning light coming through the windows to the gentle hum of songbirds when sitting in the garden, Solbjerggaard truly is the most wonderful place that allows you to enjoy the beauty of the small, yet so incredibly wonderful moments. Every detail—the extra set of plush towels, the choice of a reading lamp beside your bed, the warm “have a wonderful day” from our lovely hosts—adds up to an experience of genuine care. It has been the reason our guests keep returning season after season, longing for the beauty and care experienced when staying with us.





The Gift of Caring is Woven Into Every Detail of Your Stay

“The gift of caring” at Solbjerggaard is at the core of everything you will experience throughout your stay. Whether you stay with us and join us for a jazz evening in the colder, cosy months, you enjoy our delicious breakfast, or you have the most magical experience, enjoying a dinner under the stars, we hope that you too will experience the joy that comes from visiting a place where you, and the gift of caring, are at the forefront of every decision made.


The code 'Hygge Getaway' gives you 15% off your next autumn, winter, or spring getaway.


With the warmest regards and wishes to see you soon,

Albertine
