Description The Light House: Valevåg/Sveio

This dreamy home boasts mesmerising views. It’s the perfect choice for those looking to get away from it all and simply relax and unwind, getting closer to nature. The cottage can be found on the edge of Ålfjord, with direct access to the water – can you think of anything better than waking up to these views and diving straight into the crystal clear water for a swim?

When you’ve dried off from your morning dip, head for the kitchen to admire the view while you whip up breakfast. The quiet, idyllic setting means you can enjoy a slower pace of life here, spending your time lingering over meals, reading a book, or outside simply drinking in the view.

If you do want to explore, you might head out in the boat. There’s excellent fishing in these waters, so you’re sure to catch something fine for dinner – why not grill it on the barbecue and enjoy a feast on the terrace? As the sun starts to set, you might light the fire pit, and sit around it toasting marshmallows and swapping stories. This is the kind of holiday that everyone remembers for all the right reasons.
