Former Danish model Monica Conradsen runs this three-key stay on the cobbled streets of Ærø, an 1850 house and next-door butcher's shop converted with remarkable care. The handmade suppers are candlelit; the Geismars bedlinen line-dries in the courtyard; interiors are sophisticated but lived-in. You might cross from Svendborg lured by the island's coastal charms, but you'll return for Conradsen's company.

slow travel, lovers
7:48 AM
Grab some wellies and waffle towels, before plunging into the bracingly cold waters of Ærøskøbing's harbour. Sea birds might swoop down and join you.
9:38 AM
After a lingering, still-in-your-swimwear breakfast of homemade granola, local berries, and a sage omelette (wet hair is smiled upon), it's time to explore the island's dune-backed beaches, farmlands, and wildlife-filled marshes by bike.
12:22 PM
Tuck into your packed lunch sweetened with Monica’s chocolate macarons (popped into your bike basket) along Voderup Klint's terraced clay cliffs, spying across to Als and Germany from this geological beauty spot.
1:59 PM
Pedal back to Ærøskøbing and peek inside Hammerich’s Hus, the antiques-crammed holiday home of Danish sculptor, Gunnar Hammerich. It's a maximalist's dream (and just doors down from The Monica).
2:47 PM
Vester Strand’s shingle is strung with colourful beach cabins, standing as pretty (and practical) shelters for sea bathers for over a century. Snooze on the shore or perch with locals on a brightly painted porch.
6:13 PM
Monica opens up her boutique to guests for after-hours shopping. Cocoon yourself in aiayu cashmere, chunky Guðrun & Guðrun knits, layered with Skall Studio shirts.
7:30 PM
Settle in by the open kitchen's wood-burning fire and chat with Monica as she serves family-style sharing plates piled high with herb-encrusted lamb, seasonal veggies, and buttery potatoes straight from the stove.

Monica sources ingredients for her larder from local farmers and fishermen spruced up with herbs from the hotel’s own garden.
The interiors are jam-packed with pre-loved finds from auction houses and antiques markets.
A team of local craftsmen restored the house’s original terrazzo tiles and butcher shopfront’s iron framing by hand.
