Why this house

How VillaBlå came to be

A short story about why we keep this house, and what it means to come back to it from Bangalore each year. Written by hand, not by a copywriter.

The full story is being written. In the meantime, the practical answers are on The House and the place itself is best read through the long history of Ystad and Österlen.

The people

Dennis, Linn, and the boys

We are a Swedish family currently living in Bangalore, India. Linn is Swedish, Dennis grew up in Skåne and now runs a small bakery in Bangalore. The boys are at school in Karnataka and come back to Ystad each summer.

VillaBlå is the place we keep for the weeks we get to be in Sweden. We rent it the rest of the time, ourselves, by email. No platform between us and you.
