Reine Retro Villa

Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 131 m² two hundred metres from the centre of Reine, with parking for two cars, a car charger, and enough child-proofing — safety gate, socket covers, board games, books — to make it workable with young children.

A large family or two households sharing, in the village most people come to this end of Lofoten to see. The bunk room and the child fittings point to children; the stairs and the shower-less second bathroom are what to check first. Not for anyone with a dog.

Payment has to be made by bank transfer before arrival; the owner gets in touch after booking with the details, and has said the rate is non-refundable, with dates changeable up to five days beforehand. The room with the four bunk beds takes four guests between them. One of the two bathrooms has no shower, and a shared toilet is listed alongside the private bathroom. Upper floors are reached by stairs only. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 06:00, parties are ruled out, and a damage charge reaching NOK 1,000 can follow your departure. Check-in closes at midnight, check-out is 11:00, and pets are not accepted.

Reinehalsen in Reine, which Kartverket registers as a tettsted in Moskenes municipality about 180 metres away. The villa is 0.2 km in a straight line from the point this guide uses for Reine, so the village is a walk rather than a drive. Booking.com records sea, mountain, river, garden, village and landmark outlooks, and calls the setting rural.

Booking.com gives Nusfjord as 42 km away and Værøy Heliport Airport as 42 km. The listing describes skiing, cycling and hiking in the surrounding area, and ski storage is provided. No bus route or ferry connection is stated.
