About Allinge
Allinge and Sandvig form one small town of about 1,450 people on Bornholm's northern coast. Allinge's port dates from 1862 and Sandvig's from the early 1830s, and Sandvig was a fishing village with medieval roots, named for its sandy cove. Sandvig beach is sand mixed with rocks, with a bathing jetty, lifeguards through the bathing season and dogs allowed. Our houses lie within a few kilometres, mostly for around six with two bedrooms, and a third have a fireplace. About a quarter have a pool. North of town the Hammeren promontory has cliffs, heath, two lakes and two lighthouses, and Hammershus, a 13th-century fortress ruin, stands on it. Bronze Age rock carvings at Madsebakke are on the walk there.

When to go to Allinge
Summer is the easy season: lifeguards patrol Sandvig beach through the bathing season, and day trips to Christiansø are mostly a summer thing. Bornholm gets about 1,800 hours of sunshine a year. Outside summer, DAT is the year-round flight to Copenhagen while SAS and Norwegian are seasonal, and the fireplace in about a third of the homes suits the colder months.
