Discerning travellers have come to this small, lush part of the world for calm and peace of mind for near on a century.
Born into a family of industrialists and railway pioneers, the romantic Frithjof Pihl sought a simpler life close to nature at Engø. His longing for a more imaginative and serene existence – away from the noise, dust and pressures of the city – resonates loud and clear to this day. When everything we want is within reach, what we crave is simplicity.
Together with his English wife Dorothy, Frithjof welcomed the first summer guests to enjoy the tranquillity and hospitality of Engø. A century later, you will find subtle signs of the English lady’s influence – in the garden, the conservatory style bath house and the interiors. It is, however, in the kitchen and Engø’s exquisite afternoon tea her legacy finds it’s strongest and most delicious expression.
