Spectacular and peaceful
This house is located in an absolutely spectacular location. The town of Saebo is seemingly a well-kept secret and is extremely quiet and relatively undeveloped. The house offers numerous amenities including a spacious living space, indoor sauna, jacuzzi, multiple TVs, lots of seating and kitchen space plus a grand piano inside, and a very large balcony and deck, hot tub and secluded setting outside with world-class views perched on the edge of the fjord. While the furnishings are less than luxurious and likely in need of an update, the large house is amply provisioned to suit most needs. You can walk into town and get basics or drive 20 minutes to a larger town for everything else. This is a place to be awed by nature, relax, hike, take the ferry to a nearby hamlet. No fancy restaurants or shops and little excitement except for the sheer beauty of the area. No giant cruise ships like other fjords either. We did not want to leave.

Greatest view ever
Nothing is missed in the house. Thoughtfully equipped. The view from the terrace is phenomenal. Silence in abundance. The piano is a highlight for a musician (although it would have to get a little tuning ;-)). Just sit there and enjoy nature. Or make a trip to the fjords. Each corner a postcard view. We'll be back!

Haus in Sæbø
Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und bietet 8 Personen ausreichend Platz. Es ist gut und komfortabel eingerichtet - unter anderem riesiger Kühlschrank, Whirlpool, Außen-Spa und Sauna - und sehr sauber. Am besten hat uns jedoch die Lage gefallen: Direkt über den Fjord mit grandioser Aussicht auf bis zu über 1.500 m hohe Berge, und extrem ruhig gelegen. Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und hat uns direkt empfangen und das Haus gezeigt. Bei Problemen war er sofort für uns da. Das Haus und den Vermieter können wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Gorgeous view on the Fjord
A large and spacious house, good for small and big families. A stunning view across the fjord and absolutely quiet, we never noticed the quarry nearby. The owner lives in the village and is helpful and reacheable whenever he is needed. Kitchen and other stuff is complete and in top shape. We spent a great week there with nice hikes on the other side of the water.

Wonderful weeks in Saebö
Spacious, cosy and well equipped house, that is in effect very clean. The best of it is the long, bright front of windows facing the fjord and inviting the blue light to come in. Outside there is a veranda and big terrace to sit and enjoy the gorgious view. The house is located in the middle of a lot of tourist attractions, such as Geiranger Fjord, Runde, Trollstiegen, Jostedalsbreen, the stave church at Lom, which are easily accessible within a day tour. The mountains, that surround the fjord offer a wide range of hikes of all levels of difficulty. The owner himself is very friendly, helpful and respects the privacy of his clients. We spent three lucky weeks in Saebö. Electricity is expensive also in Norway, so we had to pay 240 Euros extra for three weeks, using sauna, hot pot and the air conditioning of the house, as it is not included in the general price. Yet, spending time in the middle of the night under a perfect sky full of stars in the bubbling hot pot after a tour was it absolutely worth!

Emplacement phénoménal !
Les photos ne sont pas trompeuses. C'est au moins aussi beau que ca ! Nous étions 8 et la maison est bien assez grande ! La vue est splendide ! Prévoir un supplément pour les draps et serviettes et en demander assez pour gérer douche, sauna et jacuzzi que vous utiliserez certainement ! Ballades magnifiques toutes proches en particulier juste en face en ferry au départ de Urke. Assez près de Gerangeir pour le faire sur la journée. Boulangerie, essence et supérette dans le village. Restaurant super sympa à faire à Trandal accessible uniquement en ferry. Attention au horaires. Souvenirs inoubliables dans un des plus beaux fjord de Norvège. La météo n'était pas extraordinaire mais cela fait partie du charme et de la beauté de ce pays de rêve. Merci à Per pour son accueil !

Wonderful Fjord Experience
We really had a wonderful stay at this place and enjoyed everything about the house and the area. The view to the Fjord is unbeatable. Like a postcard, actually :) There are lots of enjoyable hikes to explore and also daytrips to Alesund, Runde island or even Geiranger and Trollstigen are easy to reach. Communication with the host was great, very helpful and we did not miss anything. House is awesome, lots of space and really really clean. We also liked a lot that the TVs, whirlpool, sauna worked great and were easy to use. Hopefully we can come back someday. If we visit the area again, Per Oves house will be the first option for sure.

Perfekte Lage mit unzähligen Ausflugsmöglichkeiten
Wir verbrachten zwei erlebnisreiche Urlaubswochen im verschlafenen Örtchen Sæbø. Das Haus und die Umgebung gefielen uns sehr gut. Die geografische Lage von Sæbo ist perfekt, um Ausflüge nach Ålesund, den Trollstigen, an den Geirangerfjord, zur Vogelinsel Runde und zu den Jostedalgletschern zu unternehmen. Da blieb fasst kaum noch Zeit, um Angeln zu gehen. Zum Glück braucht man nicht weit raus fahren. Die Bucht vor Sæbø ist sehr fischreich, Der Vermieter konnte uns allerdings keine Tipps geben. Wir orientierten uns daher an den zahlreichen anderen Angelfreunden und hatten schnell unseren Hotspot gefunden. Einzig nachteilig war die Fahrerei zum Hafen runter. Zu Fuß ist der Weg leider einfach zu weit und zu steil. Im Haus haben wir uns auch sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Internet ist superschnell und in der Küche gab es sogar AppleTV, worüber wir abends gleich einen Fotorückblick unserer Impressionen anschauen konnten.

Get inspired in this beautiful house with magnificent view
We had a great stay in this beautiful house with spectacular view. The house is very comfortable and is located in a quiet little village. You can find real peace and quiet here. The Fjord is one of the most beautiful in Norway where kings and queens, even an emperor , used to spent there summer vacation. Spectaculair mountain view while you play the piano in the spacious living room. Ideal place for artists to find inspiration. This house has everything to make your stay memorable .
