Lofoten Villa

Three double bedrooms and two bathrooms on an islet 300 metres from Sakrisøy, with a fireplace, a sea-facing terrace and bicycles to hire — one of the few houses this close to Reine with a bathroom for every couple.

Three couples, or a family who want a room each. With every bedroom upstairs and stair access only, it does not suit anyone who cannot manage steps. Children are well provided for — a free cot, a high chair, an extra bed and a shelf of children's books and films.

A NOK 3,000 damage deposit is collected in cash on arrival and repaid in cash at check-out after an inspection, so carry the notes. All three bedrooms are on the upper floor, reached by stairs only. Quiet hours are kept from 23:00 to 07:00. Pets are accepted only on request, and hen or stag groups are not taken.

One house listed as a Three-Bedroom House of 120 m² with three beds, a double in each bedroom, one of them with an en-suite.

The owners describe it as a traditional villa on two levels with the bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. Booking.com publishes a maximum of five guests.
