Monthly Rentals in Gjógv

We enjoyed our stay at Benita’s place during our visit to Gjógv. The apartment served our needs well. It is in a very picturesque area and served as our base for several days as we explored the Faroe Islands. The downstairs living area is quite large with many places to sit and relax. The kitchen was well equipped, spacious and furnished with a table and chairs, enabling a choice between having meals in the kitchen or in the dining room. The rooms upstairs provide many beds so can accommodate quite a few guests.

Our stay here was a true highlight of our trip. The fairytale village of Elduvík is in a stunning location, and Aksel’s cottage occupies a prime position at the edge of it with breathtaking views of the ocean and the sheer rocky flank of neighboring Kalsoy island. You are located right at the start of a flat path leading to a gorge where we enjoyed cold plunges and watched a seal which Aksel told us loves to be sung to! Elduvik is the perfect base for day trips and even hikes that start right from the village. The cottage itself was more spacious than I expected. The high ceilings with exposed birch bark were beautiful. One of us slept in the loft which was quite comfy! I appreciated the outlet and lamp right at the head of the bed. The kitchen is tiny, but we cooked several successful meals and Aksel generously lent us some cooking oil from his house next door. He also gave us some delicious Faroese salmon he had smoked himself. Book the cottage and stay as long as you possibly can.

We had a very pleasant stay in Gjógv, a beautiful village. Ingrid's house immersed us with great joy in the culture of the Faroe Islands of the 19th century with all the necessary modernity.

Dagmar's house in Eiði was lovely. It's centrally located in the village, just opposite the town church. There's a convenient parking spot right out front. The interior was nicely decorated, and the house works well for a single traveler such as myself; it also, however, would work well for larger groups or families, as there are multiple bedrooms. This was a great place to stay while exploring the northern Faroes!
