About this property
Historic Turf-Roofed House
Summary:
A turf-roofed farmhouse dating back to 1584, located in Tjørnuvík. The house has been lived in for over 400 years and has a cosy atmosphere, at the same time as being well equipped and comfortable with authentic Faroese character.
The Space:
A romantic bedroom with sea view has a a double bed, a spacious attic bedroom comfortably sleeps 5 people with a double bed and 3 floor mattresses. There is also a double sofabed in the living room and a small bedroom with a short bed (160cm). This house makes an ideal base for hiking, photography, and quiet evenings, as well as for a family or friend group holiday.
Guest Access:
Guests have the entire house
The Neighborhood:
Tjørnuvík is one of the oldest settlements in the Faroe Islands, known for stunning sea views, hiking and viking history. The village faces the open sea and has the best surf beach on the islands. The black sand beach is less than a minute walk from the house. The mixture between the surf vibes and the old traditional houses makes the village very charming. There is a spectacular and well marked hiking path over the mountains to Saksun, one of the other must see places on the islands.
Getting Around:
A car is essential. The road into Tjørnuvík is narrow and winding, with a steep descent into the village and passing places rather than two lanes — drive slowly and yield uphill.
In the village Norðskáli, 20 minutes away, there are supermarkets, gas station and a shop that sells beer and wine. Tórshavn is 50 minutes away by car.
