These Hotels Take Farm-to-Table to the Next Level
"The breakfast setup at Stedsans, a retreat set deep in the woods of Hyltebruk, Sweden, isn’t like other hotel breakfasts you might be familiar with. In the mornings, guests drift into the main barn where they help themselves to homemade breads, jams and yogurt, as well as pungent herbal teas and fresh coffee, all laid out on a long wooden table. Once they’ve finished eating, they remove their dishes and wash them in the soapy tubs of water outside the barn. Washing your own breakfast dishes might sound like an absurd thing to do while staying at a hotel, but Stedsans isn’t your average hotel. The dreamy retreat takes a back-to-basics approach; accommodations are simple, meals are served communal-style and guests are encouraged to make themselves at home. And if that means washing a breakfast plate or two, then so be it." - Mary Holland
