Reviews
We have visited Stockholm for the second time and we have chosen villa foresta again. This hotel has atmosphere that is magnificent. Staff is very kind and food delicious. I personally love the smell of the hotel - it is like a forest in a bowl ❤️ We will come back again that is for sure.
Really nice hotel in a great location with some sick views especially in summer. The rooms are extra nice because they look quite a bit different from standard hotel rooms which usually look white, sterile. The breakfast was nice as well.
We booked a table at Villa Foresta on November 15th for six people—three couples who all enjoy fine dining and have travelled extensively. We were excited and expected a memorable culinary experience at Villa Foresta WS, given the restaurant’s reputation and beautiful setting. Unfortunately, our visit did not fully meet those expectations. The Malmström couple ordered the seafood and fish soup, which turned out to be disappointing. The bowl was rather small, and the portion contained very little fish, minimal seafood, and was largely made up of vegetables. The “råkaka,” ordered by the Frondell couple, was also underwhelming, with only a small amount of shrimp served on a very small piece of bread. While the ox cheek dish was reasonably acceptable, it still did not leave us fully satisfied. Service began well, and we truly appreciated being seated with a beautiful sunset view—an exceptional touch that elevated the ambiance. However, the service timing declined as the evening went on. When we ordered dessert and coffee, the coffee arrived first, and the desserts followed nearly 15 minutes later. This disrupted the flow of the meal and made it difficult to enjoy the final course as intended. Additionally, we were surprised to be charged for water, as many restaurants of similar caliber include still or sparkling water at no extra cost. Overall, the atmosphere at Villa Foresta is superb, but both the food quality and service timing fell short of our expectations, particularly given the price level. We hope the restaurant will take this feedback into consideration, as it has tremendous potential to offer an outstanding dining experience in such a beautiful location. For this visit, we would rate it 3 out of 5.
The best view and location when visiting Stockholm. A peaceful environment with stunning interior décor, only 10 minutes from Stockholm CBD. Villa Foresta offers the perfect mix of water, forest, and city living ideal for both business and leisure. We catch up with a group of friends one night 15 of us and with multiple bars and restaurant its ideal meeting point Will be back
