Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The Viola is a love letter to purple. We find the colour in all shapes and sizes from chairs to tablecloths, violet to lilac in this home. There’s even a purple Arne Jacobsen Swain chair, which is not something we see every day. This three-bedroom home’s got oodles of character and it’s in a great location, too. And we especially love how The Viola isn’t afraid of bright colour or mixing and matching playful elements with Danish design classics.

About Kongens Have
The area north of Kongens Have (Copenhagen’s oldest park and home to Rosenborg Castle) offers beloved green spaces, striking architecture, and a quiet yet central location.

Host
This home is managed by Edith
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. When Edith and her family are not spending time in their apartment, you can probably find them in their countryside summerhouse. They absolutely adore purple, which should come as no surprise when you see their home. But they also love Copenhagen and are always happy to provide you with the advice you need for a great stay in their home and hometown.
