Hasle suits couples and families who want a west-coast harbour town on Bornholm, with a smokehouse and a coastal path to Hammershus. Homes are spread around Hasle over about 7 km. Most have a fireplace and few a pool; the south-coast sand is a drive away.
Hasle is a town of 1,627 people on the west coast of Bornholm. It has no natural harbour, so the harbour was built in the late 19th century and now serves fishing boats and pleasure craft. Several eateries by the water look out over the marina and the evening sun, and the town's only hotel sits above it. There is a beach with bathing facilities near the harbour, plus supermarkets and shops. Our homes are spread around Hasle over roughly 7 km rather than set in the town. Most sleep around six, nearly half sleep eight or more, and most have a fireplace; nearly a third have a sauna.
