Do you dream of living with friends when you get older? With yoga, wine, hostess and doctor? Move yourself before others move you, the housing experts advise.

In the Boviera it never rains. It’s never too cold. Never too hot. You do not have to shovel snow or mow the lawn. But you should be a little social.

They are your new friends. They all have gray hair.

“Life will be reminiscent of that on the French Riviera,” the commercial promises. Well then, with a little good will, the greenhouse-like glass bubble for people over 55 can probably remind a little of the area by the Mediterranean. On the other hand, it is also quite clear that we are on a field outside the somewhat boring, Swedish small town of Vänersborg somewhere in Västra Götaland.
