Key people who have shown strength and endurance throughout much of the pandemic live with a constant sense of inadequacy.

Resignation hangs in the air, even if the will and ability to see opportunities is great, the misery of the situation cannot be ignored. The energy just isn't enough. We're just people, I think. The pride and drive that creates commitment far beyond what is required, and a willingness to always-always deliver with the highest quality and best service experience, is something that characterizes who we are.




These last two are our main business goals and our promise to our guests, but also the importance of responsiveness and responsibility. It is the core of our values ​​and a fundamental starting point in our employee strategy. Having said that, on Tuesday, after the press conference, I had to decide, together with our board and our management, to close the business between December 23rd and January 10th.

A decision we made with a heavy heart, but a much-needed one in order for us to be able to deliver on the business goals and visions we have set for the coming year. We as a collective need that time for recovery to be able to take care of both you, our guests, and our employees. Only then can we deliver the highest quality and the best service experience expected of us. I understand and share your sadness and disappointment.

You who have been looking forward to a lovely long walk and coffee with us during the days in between, maybe a glass of bubbly on New Year's Eve, or just a nice hotel night at home. I am truly sorry to have to make you angry or unhappy. But I had to make a choice. And I chose between a good and a bad guest experience. When we open again on January 10, you will be greeted again by energetic and happy staff who are extremely relieved and grateful for the rest that now soon awaits. Until then, we will do a big collective effort and take care of you all until December 23rd.
We do it in the best possible way with the greatest possible distance of course. Come by and have coffee, buy gingerbread dough and beautiful amaryllis, eat our sustainable Christmas table in beautiful Villa Skärtofta or come and "work from home" in our Vincafé.

Thank you for understanding our challenges and thank you for all the encouragement we have received during these tough years - extremely valuable for all of us.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
