Villa Lofoten - The Saltery

Beautifully restored and very comfortable, everything we could need was made available to us at The Saltery. But more than that, Villa Lofoten delights the senses and provides a deeper understanding of the local history, culture and food. Aslaug and her team looked after us so well and we feel very lucky to have made memories in this special place.

Not one thing.

EVERY aspect of our experience here was exceptional. A truly comfortable, gorgeous space. I would give my highest recommendation to anyone!

top location and host that made a documentary about the typical RORBU made the experience exceptional

More bathroom facility would have been ideal

Beautiful house in absolutely gorgeous environment. Design, nature, peace. Perfect holiday escape. Aaslaug has truly put her heart on this. Pl see also other houses available. They also looked beautiful. Kitchen is well equipped, the beds and linen were excellent and the fireplace, outdoor seating etc were just perfect. Activities: Horseback riding, hiking, Hennisgsvaer fish touring, shopping etc.

There was only one shower and toilet but we managed with 6 people.

This stay was simply magical. The Saltery is part of a renovated historical building managed by our amazing host (and generally an amazing human), Aaslaug, from Villa Lofoten. Aaslaug went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. We were also fortunate to join a tour of the other buildings, where we learned about the rich history of this formerly abandoned conservation area in the fishing village of Kleivan. The Saltery has been beautifully restored and fully adapted for a comfortable stay, while preserving the integrity of its original structure. Many interior pieces were handmade with love and care, each with its own history. You can see that Aaslaug put her heart and soul into this place. The nearby Soleng farm is adorable, and I highly recommend trying the restaurant. The location is perfect — you can easily explore the rest of the island from here while enjoying absolute peace and tranquility (and if you're lucky, you might even get visited by an otter). In the surrounding area, there is a beautiful but slightly challenging hike, as well as some easier walks. I can’t wait to come back again. Thank you for everything!
