A glacier behind, a fjord in front, and between them this 19th-century guesthouse in Sundal on Norway's quiet western edge, restored by owners Caroline and Harald with real soul. Eleven gingham-filled rooms (most with shared baths), a communal kitchen serving seasonal four-course dinners, a sauna by the water, and Frøya the fluffy dog, who seems to know every guest by name. Deeply charming and unhurried.

8:16 AM
First things first, make your way to the pier for a dip in the fjord. Follow it up with breakfast – freshly brewed coffee, sourdough bread, local cheeses and organic apple juice from Hardanger.
10:26 AM
Rent the old wooden boat and take a rowing trip on the fjord. On a calm day, the water can look like glass.
1:00 PM
Pick up your picnic from the team (blankets, food, and drinks) and head to Bondhusvatnet, a beautiful and very scenic lake spot. Hike or drive – you decide.
3:44 PM
We’re suckers for a good fluffy hotel robe. Find yours and then make your way over to the sauna for an afternoon sweat session.
6:30 PM
Dinner is served at 6.30pm sharp – and it's a four-course seasonal feast. They work with a farmer’s mentality and closely with fisherman and growers so expect it to feel fresh.
9:07 PM
Ask for a glass of wine – something Norwegian or different than your usual. Flop in a green-and-white deck chair if it’s still light out post dinner.
