    We loved everything about the house, so cute and cosy. All the cute little details, amazing! Neigbourhood and surround are like a romantic fairytail. We were both to tall for the house but we loved to travel back in time and to "live in the 18th...

    Lovely house situated in the center of the small village of Kvivík off the main roads, so it is quite silent place. However it is well connected to road network (about 3 km to the end of Vágar tunnel), so most of the places on the islands are...

    Stepping inside this quaint cottage was like going back in time. So atmospheric, so charming with squeaky wooden floors, low beams, and traditional decor. But the facilities were perfectly modern (dishwasher, shower etc). The situation is utterly...

    環境非常優美,很安靜的小鎮,從房間任一窗戶望出去, 無論白天晚上,晴天陰天雨天,都像在看風景明信片。 很迷人的歐風建築,停車方便 有餐廳、客廳、房間,空間使用非常寬裕自在。 床很舒適好睡。 只有淋浴間在地下室,出入稍微不便,但很有樂趣。 廚房設施用具齊全,能很優閒自在的準備三餐。 (只是超市需要開車到附近的鎮) 非常適合到法羅自駕旅遊的朋友居住, 喜歡悠閒度假的朋友不要錯過。 房東沒見過面,但很親切,有問題詢問都能解答。
