The place where Ullinge is located has since the Stone Age been a place where people have worked and lived for several years. Through excavations around Ullinge you have found axes and many similar objects that indicate a life here long before the hotel was even built.

Let’s go back in time, to the 19000s, or more specifically the 1930s when the von Porat family clearly built their home (today our main building) and moved in. Flight Colonel Gösta von Porat lived here with his family and this beautifully situated residence, soon became a popular holiday and recreation destination for family friends and business acquaintances. Here the guests were accommodated, who were well looked after by Gösta’s hospitable daughters, Ulla and Inga. Through their hospitality they soon gave a name to the place – Ullinge – which alludes to their name.

Ulla and Inga took advantage of all the delights of nature. They hunted in the forests, and fished in the lake. In August, Ullinge became the most popular of the destinations in Småland, when you caught your own crayfish and invited during the evenings. Even today, crayfish fishing is one of Ullinge’s most sought after activities and of course one of our classics on the crustacean soup is Södra Wixen’s tasty crayfish.
