Little Tyresö, the youth hostel of Tyresö, is situated on a hill close to Tyresö´s church and castle. It consists of three buildings - Prinsvillan, Lakejvillan and Handelsboden (The Prince Villa, the Footman Villa and the General store). The first house on the hill was built in the middle ages, when the hill was still an island. It was called Tyresöhus (Tyresö Hall) and was destroyed in a fire in 1613. Of the buildings the Footman Villa is probably the oldest. In the Prince Villa the Swedish Prince Eugene stayed for eighteen summers.

The prince is a well-known painter and in the surroundings of Tyresö he found motives for some of his best known paintings. The villas are now restored and house conference rooms and a youth hostel.

As a guest at Little Tyresö you have access to a kitchen. There is a breakfast room and a small kiosk at the reception. It is four kilometres to the nearest grocery store (two and a half miles).

Conferences

Little Tyresö offers a royal setting for your conference. In the Prince Villa you can stay overnight at a moderate rate and enjoy the beautiful area.
The surroundings of Little Tyresö invite a lot of activities. You can visit the castle, take a walk in the English Park - or go fishing. Near the castle lies a market garden well worth a visit..
From the park a bridge leads to the island of Notholmen. Here you have an excellent opportunity to bathe.

Tyresö Castle

When Tyresöhus was destroyed by a fire in 1613, Gabriel Oxenstierna, who was Lord High Chancellor and a friend of the king, decided to build Tyresö Castle. The building was finished in 1633. Many distinguished people have owned the castle - among others Maria Sofia De la Gardie - a lady who started several successful industries during the 17th century.
Today the Nordic Museum owns the castle and it is open for guided tours during the summer. In the west wing you will find the Tyresö Slottskrog, an excellent restaurant for lunch and dinner. In the courtyard you can visit a café as well as an outdoor summer restaurant.

Activities

The youth hostel is situated by the sea not far from the wide spread forests of Tyresta National Park and a new natural reserve called Sandholmarna, which is a peninsula with cliffs and a sandy beach. In the neighbourhood is Uddby gård with farm animals and a little café.
The beautiful surroundings of the castle invite a variety of activities, a walk in the English Park, a visit to the nearby market garden or the café in the courtyard.
