Villa Oleanna

Perfect location with scenic views. Point of view vistuoso violinist and composer Ole Bull Island Lysøen. Beautiful home with delightefull and very helpfull owner. I had a wonderful time. Widely praised.

Villa Oleanna is magical. The view from the room, the view from around the property is amazing and mesmerizing. The rooms are terrific, the entire property is wonderful. And the proprietors are caring, warm and everything one would want in a place to stay. Sitting outside with a capuccino looking out at the fjord as the sun sets--- Wow. We will go back as soon as we can.

Wonderful accommodation in an unbeatable location! Very friendly and accommodating hosts!

Stunning- a real gift

Beautiful location with boats for rent. The is very friendly and helpful.

Place was fantastic! Gorgeous scenery. The hosts were very friendly and helpful with all things Bergen. Would recommend and would use again.

My rental car broke down which meant I wasn't going to get in until very late. Frode was very responsive when I messaged him to let him know this. He sent very specific check-in instructions and that was extremely helpful! His place is like going to a spa. It's beautiful and the water view calmed me down after a long travel day. I would highly recommend his place!!!

This place was beautiful! The host is super polite and helpful! Highly recommend and if we ever go back to Norway definitely staying here again. The only minor issue is Expedia advertising one price and then charging extra for more than one person. So look at the prices before you book. Not the owners or the propertys fault though.

Was beyond our expectations. Hosts were exceptional. Our stay was WAY TOO SHORT. Hope to do it again.

We loved our stay at Villa Oleanna. Svanhild & Frode were such gracious hosts. The property views are amazing and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Each of our kids had their own room and we had a open concept bedroom/ living room/kitchenette area. The place is very clean and nicely decorated. The balcony views and common areas are great as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

Super friendly ! We loved the views , it was not a room we have a small department very comfortable! We travel with my husband and two teens and we loved it! Very relax ! It is place to enjoy. It is 20 min from Bergen you will need to have a car ir is not easy to get in. Highly recommend it!

My worst lodging experience ever. Surprised that they’re even allowed to offer to stay. This place is still recovering from a fire incident and being reconstructed. We didn’t get the room we booked online and instead got some other room. We were in a big group and the other family who came with us had even worse experience. The water was not sanitized and the heating/cooling system didn’t work. Seems like the couple who lives there are just renting out some rooms to make some money as a side hustle.

If you are looking for something unique, this is the place to go! Villa Oleanna is located in the most beautiful area around my hometown Bergen. This weekend in the beginning of May 23 my wife and I planned to have a relaxing time together and was searching for something very special outside Bergen. By a coincidence we found this hidden gem and decided to try it for the weekend. What a great surprise! The owner recommends a apartment with sea view called “Panorama”. The apartment was newly renovated, spacious and with breathtaking views of the fjord from the balcony – see my attached photos and you will understand. The apartment had its own kitchen with everything you need for cooking. There is also a wonderful common area with access to an impressive kitchen. Some other people staying in individual rooms used it and it was well stocked with everything to prepare meals. Owner is extremely friendly and helpful. Parts of the property are still under construction, but I believe that most of the work would be finish this summer (2023). Thanks a lot for a memorable weekend – we will be back again later this summer. Regards Svein-Magne Tunli from Bergen, Norway.

Excellent hosts. Rebuilt property. Quality building

Spacious bright two bedrooms with a large patio overlooking lake. Linens, kitchenware, toiletry, furniture are all top notch and exceed what one would expect from a rental. Owner is extremely friendly and helpful. Norway in September turned out to be a disappointment after eight days of rain in a row, but our staying at this place for three days was the best part of it. We spent most of our time in the unit and liked our time there more than the other two places we have been to so far.

The rooms & location are absolutely beautiful, Frøde was very kind and welcoming. I would caution 2 things: 1) that parts of it are still under construction (Aug 2022) And 2) The road to get there is incredibly narrow (think smaller than a normal 1 lane road in the US but it's 2 ways - with busses) and there is very little parking. So if you are driving, I'd recommend a smaller vehicle and you need to be very confident with driving/parking! The best food near by is in Os at Ilya Kafe for food - cute atmosphere, good service & delicious food!

Spent 2 amazing nights here (family of 4). Wonderful owners who were so welcoming. Spacious rooms with breathtaking views of the fjord. Wonderful common area with access to impressive kitchen. Breakfast was hard boiled egg, ham, cheese, rolls, peppers, tomatoes, coffee, tea, juice and milk. Wonderful waterfalls to explore within area. A very winding road to get to but worth the drive. Highly recommend this charming place.

Beautiful view overlooking river/ocean. Newly renovated bedroom with modern facilities. Great and helpful host. Will definitely come back for a longer period

Hospitable and courteous management

If you want to be close enough to Bergen, but more secluded and quiet, this is a great place. It’s about a 20 minute drive, right on the water near a relaxed community (little town is about 8 minutes away down some winding roads). The views are great. The structure is nice, different units within…almost like a place you might rent out for a wedding or an event for all guests, but the units are also rentable separately. We stayed in an apartment because we like to have a kitchen to do our own thing. The apartment was clean, and pretty much brand new. We had everything we needed to cook (although, adding a coffeemaker might be a good idea). Towels and blankets were comfortable,Wi-Fi worked fine - our devices stayed connected and we casted from our Netflix account a couple of times. If you’re a boating person, you’ll love it. Lots of places to walk around also. It is sort of remote, but that’s what we wanted. The place also has a communal kitchen, some other people staying in individual rooms used it and it was well stocked with everything to prepare meals. Host did up some morning breakfast boxes. You can tell the owner is still doing up some of the rooms, but for the most part it is a nice place, casual, modern, seating areas in the main entry. It’d be great for groups. Parking in the garage was a bit quirky, but we always had a space, came and went as we pleased. Our host was kind and helpful. Bedrooms in the apartment were minimalist, but that’s Scandinavian.
