Radhus - 4 personer - Strandstræde - 5960 - Marstal

To that extent, small is good in this townhouse in the middle of the skipper's town of Marstal. Here you get coziness with a capital H - and as the pictures clearly show, every single room is tastefully decorated with attention to detail. Everything is kept simple and hits on what so many of us yearn for when the everyday hamster wheel runs at full speed: Simple Living.

This is the holiday home where you can completely relax and enjoy yourself full time. There is, for example, no TV, but good internet when you need some screen time.

The size of the house's rooms together with the sloping walls have something to do with the atmosphere. There is a beautiful living room, 2 good bedrooms with double beds, a nice bathroom - and the kitchen makes it easy to prepare a meal. This is your lovely holiday den, and every day can be enjoyed until the wee hours in the enclosed courtyard with comfortable garden furniture and barbecue.

You are close to shopping, restaurants and only a brisk walk from the beach. Marstal's alleys, streets and straits lead you down to the harbour, which is an experience with its small and large fishing boats, dinghies and guest sailors who keep coming back.

This is Ærø's largest town, where the 'Grollerne' (grey sparrows) live. The many locals who travel abroad as young people to get an education and find work - only to later fly back. And it is from Marstal that generations of sailors have set out on the seven world seas. You can get up close to their exotic experiences by walking the 160 meters down to the Marstal Maritime Museum.
