An architect-designed private fjord villa set on approximately 4,000 m² of secluded grounds, sleeping up to 15 guests, just 25 minutes from Preikestolen and 30 minutes from Stavanger.
This is a place for guests who want more than a place to sleep. Here, the feeling is space, silence and privacy. Days move slowly between the garden, the river, the fjord and the terraces. Evenings are spent in the wood-fired hot tub, the private sauna, around the fire, or by one of the villa's wood-burning fireplaces.
The villa offers three distinct indoor lounges — a generous main floor, a relaxed loft lounge, and a separate cellar retreat with a wine wall — so a group of 15 can spend time together without ever feeling crowded.
A 14-ft boat is available in season for fishing and exploring Lysefjorden and the surrounding archipelago — fuel included.
A private retreat designed for real disconnection.
Everything included — no hidden costs
Firewood for the hot tub, fire area and fireplaces, fuel for the boat, EV charging (5 kW), parking on the property, linens and towels, fixed crib, and fast WiFi are all included in the price.
Why guests choose this villa
• Private estate with space, silence and no through traffic
• Approx. 4,000 m² of grounds with a small river running through the property
• Three separate indoor lounges — main floor, loft and cellar with wine wall
• Wood-fired Skargards Regal 220 hot tub for 8–10 guests
• Private sauna and outdoor fire area
• Authentic Hartley Botanic greenhouse in the garden
• 14-ft boat with fuel included for Lysefjorden experiences (April–November)
• 25 minutes from Preikestolen, 30 minutes from Stavanger via Ryfast — the world's longest undersea road tunnel
• Lysefjorden, Kjerag and Florli within reach for day trips
Three distinct living spaces
The main floor is the heart of the home — large kitchen, dining for 12, and a comfortable lounge with a fireplace where the whole group can gather.
The loft lounge sits above it all, with a 65" TV and a more relaxed feel — ideal for movie nights, teenagers, or a quieter space away from the main floor.
The cellar lounge offers something different again: a grown-up retreat with a wood-burning fireplace, deep sofas and a built-in wine wall behind glass sliding doors. Ideal for late evenings, after the kids have gone to bed.
A Hartley Botanic greenhouse in the garden
In the garden stands an authentic Hartley Botanic greenhouse — handcrafted in England by the same maker that has supplied greenhouses to Highgrove and Kew Gardens. A quiet place for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, whatever the weather. Guests are welcome to pick fresh herbs and vegetables when in season.
Sleeping arrangements
The villa sleeps up to 12 adults in proper beds across five bedrooms and an open loft bedroom. Additional sleeping arrangements can be made available when needed, allowing up to 15 guests in total. A fixed crib is ready in the villa; an additional travel cot can be provided on request.

• Wood-fired Skargards Regal 220 hot tub for 8–10 guests

Location
The villa sits in Alsvik, a quiet area 5 minutes from Tau village with shops, a café and local restaurants. From the door, it is a 4-minute walk to the boat dock, 25 minutes to Preikestolen, and 30 minutes to Stavanger via Ryfast. Lysefjorden, Kjerag and Florli are all within reach for day trips — so guests can spend a day on the iconic hikes or out on the fjord, and return to the calm of the villa by evening.
Guest access
Guests have full and private access to the villa, the garden, the terraces and all outdoor areas, including the hot tub, sauna, fire area and greenhouse. A few storage rooms and the garage remain locked and are not part of the guest area.
Best suited for
• Family holidays
• Multi-generation stays
• Groups of friends seeking peace and comfort
• Winter retreats and extended weekends
• Longer stays where space and separate zones matter
Not suitable for parties, events or loud gatherings. The villa is best suited for respectful guests who value peace, privacy and a high-quality setting.
Located in Strand, this villa is on a river. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Mølleparken and Kuvika, while Stavanger Museum and Breidablikk are cultural highlights. Traveling with kids? Consider Stavanger Maritime Museum and Sølvberget Stavanger Library and Culture Center. Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hunting and hiking/biking trails nearby.
