Strandlyst on Samsø was the culminating experience of my week in Denmark. I stayed here for two nights in early September 2015. The grounds and rooms are so beautiful and peaceful - the entire sprawling place has been created with love and intention. The beach is at your doorstep and the village of Ballen is a comfortable walk, short bike ride, or quick drive away. There are some bikes to borrow for free with which you can easily cover half the island in a morning or just do a relax pedal. The proprietor, Claus, is a welcoming and engaging character. The food from Jacob, a world class chef, is seasonal, local, beautiful, and delicious. From the pools to the outdoor showers, and from the restful ambiance to the wood fired sauna, there is something for everyone at Strandlyst. Samsø is such a special place!
