“When we stepped into the house, we had the feeling we believe most people have when they arrive for the first time: there is something special about this place.” 

In the heart of Allinge, a short walk from the cliffs, lies a former printing house from 1886. Here, Birgit Lyngbye Pedersen and Jimmy Olesen have created Villa Sonja.

The house comprises three holiday apartments with space for presence and everyday living throughout the year. The place provides a setting for families, friends and smaller teams. It is rooted in the joy of sharing Bornholm’s nature, art, gastronomy and sense of community, as well as the experiences the island offers.

A summer house atmosphere and considered material choices define Villa Sonja. This extends to the kitchens, where proper tools and equipment have been thoughtfully chosen.

A passion for interiors is evident in the apartments, with every detail carefully selected to create spaces that feel both distinctive and homely. It is a curated mix of new pieces, vintage finds, local paintings and craft from Bornholm – everyday luxury in a relaxed
setting.
