6 Top-Rated Condos in Sogn og Fjordane, Western Norway

April 29, 2023 Diedre Savory

Rich in mountains, islands, glaciers, farmlands and fjords, Sogn og Fjordane is best known for Sognefjord, the longest in Norway and the second-longest in the world. One of its arms, Nærøyfjord, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as is the 12th-century Urnes Stave Church near Lustrafjorden, an excellent example of traditional Scandinavian wooden architecture. Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on mainland Europe, is home to a national park with several museums and visitor centers.

Flam Marina & Apartments

A truly wonderful place to stay

Reviewed By Dena P

Comfortable apartment with a remarkable view from inside the apartment as well as from the private balcony. Full kitchen and numerous amenities. Owner is on site and responsive. I found the apartment to be a little slice of heaven. I take issue with an earlier review about the food—I had an excellent meal, including the option of a gluten-free pizza which I found to be delicious. For wine I had a glass of their house white which I enjoyed very much, as well as part of a bottle of Barbera, the rest of which a staff member promptly delivered to my room after dinner, in a manner following local laws. The setting is unrivaled, especially if there is rain on the roof of the dining room, as the sound is magical. While the path is not immediately obvious, the marina is easily accessed via a very short walk from the Flåm railway station, right along the waterfront. The view from the Flåm Apartments is far superior to the other properties in the small town. I find the earlier reviews with minor complaints to be outdated, as my room was fully equipped. I am a fairly discerning traveler who will be recommending this property to my friends who are looking to visit Norway—that is, until I have the opportunity to return myself.

The apartment I booked was "not available"

Reviewed By sonal0601

We booked the two bedroom apartment through booking.com. After dragging our suitcases over footpath and gravel for 15-20 minutes with two kids, we reached the place, all excited about staying in the beautiful white cottages we saw online. The reception was closed. A note was stuck with our name and room number on it. We walked to the alloted room, and found it was was smaller than we expected and had only one bedroom. I called up on the number provided on booking and was asked to wait for someone to come and check things out. A receptionist showed up after 30 minutes. And told us that the room given to us is a studio, because the two bedroom apartment we booked is not available!!!! Wow! She said she is clueless why this happened coz she isn't the one alloting rooms. We asked her to call up her manager. She did, and was told to give us a larger apartment at a different location. We were disappointed and skeptical about this new apartment. She did not even have any pics of this new place to show us. I requested her to get me a cab to this other place. She called up her manager and said "They don't want to walk". That sounded awfully rude to me. The manager showed up with his car in some time. Made some apologies and drove us in his car to the other apartment. Something positive after 2 hours of chaos. This other apartment was much larger for sure, but had only one bedroom and was somewhat run down. What finally lifted my mood was the beautiful view from the windows. Also there were some conveniences nearby like a coop and couple of restaurants. However, I am writing this review to let anyone looking forward to spending time in the white cottages amid hills and fields shown in the pictures know that you might be in for an unpleasant surprise.

Worst service ever - don’t come here

Reviewed By H-Waldorf

We booked the big apartment (80 squares meters) with Mountain View and 2 bedroom. When we arrived we got an apartment with only one bedroom and only 40 squared meters. Nobody told us before , this situation is totally unacceptable. As all was full there was not possibility to go to any other place.

Lovely cabin with good facilities

Reviewed By freeskigal

The host wasn't around when we arrived, but there was a phone number at the reception hut and things were sorted out quickly. The cabin is lovely with good facilities. Nice surroundings close to the water. There were no nearby restaurants open during this time of year (10th September), so we went to the supermarket to buy some groceries to cook dinner.  The kitchen is very complete to cook a decent meal, everything is there incl. salt, pepper and oil. Lovely modern and squeaky clean bathroom. Comfy bed and a large sofa to relax and watch TV. Good value for the money.

Beautiful location

Reviewed By AJH1964xxx

The location is just perfect next to the sea and with the city center of Florø just 5 min by car or 15-20 min walking. Bed’s are good, small kitchen with all the things you need to make food. God size fridge and dishwasher is also available. You can rent boats there and go fishing or just fish from the shore. They have made a very convenient place to filet the fish outside by the harbor. With cold running water to clean up after words. Beautiful place ....coming back next year. Thank you Steinar !
