"It feels important to mention that the owner does not speak english, it is listed as a language they speak, but they don't. I received a message from them a couple of hours before we were due to arrive (after traveling for over 20 hours) to say that our bedding was wet and in the washing machine and we would need to dry it. Luckily, i found some more bedding which we could use, as we arrived after midnight. There isn't any internet connection, so we used mobile phone data to connect to the tv. We found a booklet and it was a list of cleaning instructions, which felt like the property owner wanted us to deep clean the whole place before we left i.e. 'wipe down all of the window sills' 'wash the skirting boards' etc. It is also very slippery outside when it rains, my son slipped over coming into the house and hurt his back (and he was wearing walking boots with good grip). The ladder leading to the roof top bedroom is a bit dangerous, there are no safety rails and it is very steep. The house is very small, so although it says 'sleeps 8', it is very crowded with 4/5 people (and only one toilet). A big selling point for me was the hot tub, but i was too scared to actually use it, there were strict instructions on using it and then washing and cleaning it afterwards, it didn't seem worth it :( I was very relieved that the lights on the outside of the house are on a timer, because it definitely helped me to find the place. Beautiful wood and scenery though. "

"Sigurd’s home is absolutely lovely. The location is peaceful and beautiful, with a wonderful view. But more importantly, the house is spotless and equipped with everything you need to have a home away from home. We hated leaving. And he responded to any needs we had right away. The entire experience was easy and made is feel welcome. We enjoyed spending time there more than even driving around. We would go back without hesitation."

"Great location in front of the ferry. Lady who greeted us and checked us in was very nice and helpful. Room was beautiful with nice views of the bay. Clean and quiet. "

"Loved the hotel and staff were amazing. The breakfast was also a winner! "

"Free supper is convenient. "

"Lots of room, light and great kitchen. Just gorgeous back gardens and access to water and dock. Probably could be clearer how to operate the many wonderful amenities (W&D, media systems, pool) but the setting is the raison d'être! Wonderful place. "

"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."

"We loved this place! Having at one time owned a family summer home in Tysnes and renting a few nice homes after we sold our home in 1991, this place was by far the nicest. Fully equiped kitchen for a summer home, comfortable beds in the three bedrooms and great wifi and online TV channels (not that we watched much if any TV in this beautiful place), two huge bathrooms and laundry room. And the outside deck...a morning view that is just stunning. Each morning I would just sit outside with a cup of coffee and inhale the lovely view of the Bjoune Fjord. I was actually hesitant to give such a good review as we dont want it to be booked-up if we return in a year or two ;) The host Tone was amazing and myself and my whole family can't thank her enough for the wonderful time we all had at her home in Tysnes. It even comes with a great little 14 foot 10hp motorboat that we took out a few times for some fishing. My wife and I travel often and have rented many summer and winter ski homes, this one is at the top of the list. We will be back!"

"A nice hotel, well maintained, clean and confortable. Don't expect to have the facilities of a five stars hotel because is not the case. Served very well the purpose for which it was chosen. We recommend it and we ll be back. "
