The Retreat Accomodation - Luckerstad Mansion
Luckerstad Mansion if located in Vadstena, 25 km from Stockholm (shared car is usually an easy fix, or you will be picked up by bus or train in Motala/Mjölby) Luckerstad offers a cosy manor environment nestled in the heart of the Östgöta plain, 3 km from Vättern with its clear, quite cold water and nice sand bottom. AnnCharlotte is the owner of Luckerstad Gård, with heritage from 18th century, and everything from food, to garden, to facilities are created with the utmost love.
An Orangery will be our shala for the weekend, and all meals will be in the main mansion, or if the weather allows - in the lush fruit garden or by the pool.
We sleep in two separate houses with fresh and clean rooms, the white guesthourse and the red cottage.

The Retreat surroundings
This is a magical place with a gorgeous view of Lake Vättern, and manor environment nestled in the heart of the Östgöta plain, as made for morning or evening walks. Both sunrises and sunsets are magnificent with light hard to describe, though imprinted in the paintings of the late Prince Eugene. We are in the middle of nowhere but still close to the medieval town of Vadstena with its castle, monastery church, monastery museum and picturesque alleys.
Enjoy the surroundings, fruit garden, our shala (an Orangery), or jump into Vättern, Swedens second largest lake with clear blue, cold water or take a short car ride to Omberg - a cultural mountain and forrest area, with a rich history concerning both nature but was the eye of the storm during the 12th century when different families strode for the crown.
