Lofoten Panorama

Apartments of a size that is hard to find in Lofoten — up to 165 m² with nine beds — on a sun terrace above the sea at Stamsund, with free parking and a 15 km run to Leknes Airport.

Larger parties and several families travelling together who need floor space and more than one bathroom, and who have a car. A cot is free on request up to age two, but children of two and over are charged at the adult rate and no extra beds are kept.

Check-in is a narrow window, 16:00 to 20:00, and check-out runs from 07:00 to 11:00. Children of two and over are charged at the adult rate; a cot is free on request below that age and no extra beds are kept. Pets are not accepted. Some units sit on upper floors reached by stairs only and others entirely on the ground floor, so say which you need. There is no charger for an electric car on site — the property gives Leknes, about 15 km off, as the nearest, with a standard socket available in the meantime. Booking.com lists eight bedrooms across the five apartments without saying which belongs to which, so check the layout of the unit you book.

Five units: two superior apartments of 165 m² with nine beds each, a superior corner apartment and a superior apartment of 100 m² with five beds each, and a 60 m² apartment with a sea view and four beds. Across them Booking.com lists eight bedrooms, each capped at two guests and holding either a double bed or two single beds. Each unit has its own bathroom, and an additional bathroom is listed. No star rating is shown.

Some units sit on upper floors reached by stairs only; others are entirely on the ground floor.

J. M. Johansens Vei 135, 8340 Stamsund, in Vestvågøy — the settlement Kartverket registers for the pin. The setting is rural, above the sea, with a sun terrace and sea views. Leknes, the nearest destination this guide covers, lies about 10 km away in a straight line.

Booking.com gives Leknes Airport as 15 km and Svolvær as 66 km. The nearest charger for an electric car, according to the property, is at Leknes, about 15 km off.
