the property was very nice and clean. Great atmosphere and good vibes.

Angelo Canada

We stayed in a private room - it was very clean and modern. The bed was very comfortable and loved the sky window. Really enjoyed the on-site bar and snacks. Also a great location to catch the Northern Lights.

This is a magical location, just outside of Vik and overlooking the coast, rolling green hills/mountains and the sunset. The room was exceptional, great amenities, comfortable bed and nice linens. We enjoyed the bar and breakfast as well. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We wished we could have stayed longer.
