Casa Lofoten

Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private sauna looking at the sea, on a beachfront plot 4.3 km in a straight line from Nusfjord, with the beach and the dock belonging to the house rather than shared.

Two or three families travelling together, or a group who want a sauna at the end of a day on the Kvalvika trail. The bunk room suits children. With no cot and no extra bed available, the sleeping plan is fixed at what is already in the rooms.

Booking.com publishes no check-in or check-out times for this house, so fix your arrival with the owners before you travel. Neither a cot nor an extra bed is available and pets are not accepted. As much as NOK 1,000 in damage may be charged after departure under the property's damage policy, parties are not allowed and smoking is not permitted. The listing's title names Kvalvika and Reine, both some way off by road — Booking.com itself gives Nusfjord as 21 km by its own measure.

One house of 143 m² listed as a Four-Bedroom Villa with four beds. Two bedrooms have a large double each, one a double and one a bunk bed; there are two bathrooms with a bath or shower, towels and a hairdryer. Booking.com's per-room maximums come to six and sit awkwardly against the beds; the owners' own site gives the house as sleeping eight, which is the figure used here. The house has a private entrance and is non-smoking.

WiFi and private parking are free. Heating, parquet floors, a fireplace, a flat-screen TV carrying cable channels, a sofa, a seating area, a dining area and board games. The kitchen has an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a coffee machine, a kettle and a washing machine, and a children's high chair is kept. The sauna is private to the house. Outside: a terrace, a patio, an outdoor dining area, a picnic area, a garden and the property's own beach.

Self-catering. No meals are served and no restaurant or bar is listed; the kitchen is fitted for cooking for a full house and there is a dining area indoors as well as a table outside.

The address is Skjelfjordveien 78 under the 8380 Ramberg postcode, in Flakstad municipality on Flakstadøya. Kartverket's nearest registered settlement name is Innerfjorden, roughly 550 m from the pin, so the house stands away from Ramberg village itself. Nusfjord, the nearest destination this guide covers, is 4.3 km off in a straight line. Booking.com records the setting as rural and marks the property beachfront with sea, garden and mountain views.

Booking.com gives Nusfjord as 21 km from the house by its own measure, Lofotenmat Sa as 34 km, Vestvågøy Rådhus as 36 km and Leknes Airport as 36 km. No transfer or bus is listed, and the owners' own site puts the house four minutes from the E10.
