Surrounded by the Baltic Sea, the island of Bornholm is Denmark's easternmost land mass, and is actually closer to mainland Sweden than Denmark. A popular beach resort during the summer months, Bornholm also has architectural sites, historical monuments and museums that attract tourists year-round. Attractions for history buffs include Hammershus, a 13th-century fortress that is one of Europe's largest castle ruins, and the Bornholm Middle Ages Center (also known as the Bornholms Middlealder Center). Most of Bornholm's hotels are on the island's coast, near cities like Rønne and Svaneke.
A 2-star option in the southwestern coastal city of Rønne, the Hotel Skovly is nestled near a brook in the forest, less than a quarter-mile from the beach. The hotel offers 30 rooms, each of which has satellite television and a private bathroom with a shower. Hotel Skovly also has three apartment units available for short-term rentals. These units come equipped with a kitchen and living room area, in addition to satellite television and a private bathroom.
