Præstø, Denmark

First of all, this is our home, not a vacation house. The house has central heating in every room, including the bathroom, so its easy to keep the house warm.

When going to Copenhagen, we always drive to Vordingborg trainstation (20 mins.) Here you can park the car for free (we will make a map for you) and take the train to Copenhagen, it's 1 hour by train and very easy.

We have 4 supermarkets/grocery stores within 5 mins. drive from here. Two of them has a bakery, but there is also a small bakery in Præstø (5 mins)
All this we will put on a map for you.
Our neighbour sell organic vegetables during the season, so delicious!

As you see, we live at the Oremandsgaard Manor house estate, and we have some great things right here where we live, attracting people from near and far.
