    It was very well cleaned, linen freshly washed, there was the chance to do the recycling of the rubbish and there were the cups for espresso coffee (extremely important for Italians 😉). The umbrellas at the entrance are a sign of warm welcome.

Ground floor apartment right in the centre of Balestrand. Small children friendly. We have cribs, children chairs, baby bottles etc. It's in walking distance to grocery stores, aquarium, hotels, art galleries etc. The bedroom has a double bed and a bunk bed. There is no window in the bedroom. In the living room there´s a sofa bed that can be turned into a double bed. The kitchen is well equipped with dish washer. There's a big bathroom with washing machine. The living room, kitchen and bathroom has floor heating.
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 bicycles, and I work in the Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK). We love spending time in Balestrand. The atmosphere, nature and fjord is amazing. We love laughing and bicycling! We are available through the Booking app/website and phone/Whatsapp. We also have local helpers and cleaners that can be of assistance.
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 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.
