Ground floor apartment in a villa from 1980. It is very retro, and it is located right in the middle of Balestrand. Perfect location behind Kviknes Hotel. Brand new patio with wooden table and two wooden chairs in front of the entrance. Parts of the apartment is newly painted before this season. Park your car 10 meters from your front door. We have beds for three persons, but a good quality mattress is available to place on the floor if you wish to be 4 persons in the apartment. From the living room you can see the breathtaking mountains (snow-capped year-round). They are actually Norway´s most painted mountains. 400 meters away there is a perfect sandy and children-friendly beach. Great hiking opportunities. Restaurants, grocery stores and cafées two minutes walk from house. Children friendly house. We have baby beds, strollers, chairs for children, some toys and toddler cutlery.
My husband and I live in Bergen with our four children (twins born in 2015, girl born in 2013 and girl born in 2004.) Aslak works with theatre, and I work with film and TV. We love spending time in Balestrand. The atmosphere, nature and fjord is amazing.
Balestrand is special in the way it forms a cosy village with a well defined centre, unlike most small places in Norway, where the houses and facilities are more spread out. From the house you can get all that you could wish for literally within walking distance from the house: Cafés, museums, grocery stores, design stores, bars, restaurants, post office, aquarium, bike/boat/canoe/kayak rental, guided fishing trips to mention but a few. Other than that, Balestrand is known for wonderful light and breathtaking nature. This area of the Sognefjord has welcomed tourists since the early 1800s. English lords and the German Emperor Wilhelm II also spent a lot of time in Balestrand and the Sognefjord area during about a hundred years ago. These visitors left their mark on the many villas in Balestrand, which show traces of both English and German wooden house architecture, most notably perhaps the use of dragon heads and beam ends on the facade. The English Church also is very special. This is also a wooden building, has many windows to the fjord, and a petite charm. Its interior was actually also the model for the crowning scene in the blockbuster film Frost.
