About the place

A spacious, modern home in Edvard Grieg's old neighbourhood — made for big gatherings, family reunions, and quiet days by the water.

The villa sits in the Troldhaugen area of Bergen, named after composer Edvard Grieg's home nearby. The neighbourhood is quiet and rural in feel, even though you're within the city — wake up to birdsong, not traffic.

From here it's about a ten-minute drive to both Bergen city centre and the airport, making the villa equally suited to a slow holiday week or a weekend with the whole extended family.

Direct water access with a private boathouse, and kayaks included in your stay. Large parking area with EV charging. A spacious electric 7-seater (VW ID. Buzz) can be rented separately via the Getaround app for exploring the region.

“It truly is a beautiful place where 16 of us could stay comfortably without feeling too crowded. Despite a day of bad weather we could still enjoy the day and children were entertained by the ping pong table and board games available. We also were able to use the kayaks and SUP. The area itself is gorgeous and peaceful.”

“Fantastic stay! We were 14 people, including several happy teenagers who are still talking about the hot tub. The house is spacious, clean and well equipped — perfect for large groups. Great atmosphere all weekend, and several of us seriously considered moving in. Warmly recommended!”

“Together with my huge team of 15 guys we visited Anders' house for Bergen city break. The place is wonderful. Superb view from the terrace, direct access to sea and lots of extra facilities like jacuzzi, workout equipment, coffee machine and many more.”
