Lysebu is a magic place before Christmas. First weekend in December I stayed there as a part of my work writing for the Historic Hotels blog. (You can read the article in Norwegian here.)Â We booked the package “romantic stay”, and were not disappointed. 20 minutes drive from the centre of Oslo you find this gem […]
As a part of my work for the Historic Hotels we spent two nights at the marvellous hotel Losby Gods a few weeks ago. This place is amazing! The best thing about it is that it is only a 20 minutes drive from the centre of Oslo – and when you get there you feel that […]
In the small city of Lyngdal in the south of Norway you find Paulsens Hotell. The place reopened in 2011, after being closed for 40 years. The hotel gives you a feeling of an old, traditional 19th century inn, with a homey atmosphere. Some people say it is like staying in a museum – charming […]
This summer I am going to visit beautiful Sveinhaug Farm in Ringsaker in Hedmark, Norway. If you are interested in gardens and old restored houses it is worth a visit.

On the island of Tysnes you find an amazing place, Haaheim Gaard. Torstein, the owner writes on his website: “An oasis for the good life. Savour the flavours of a bygone era in the restaurant, wake up to the smell of newly-baked bread fresh from the oven. Breakfast is served when the sun shines through […]
A new hotel has opened in Oslo! The Saga Hotel. From the photos it looks as a brilliant choice for travellers who seek away from the chain hotels in the city centre. It is situated in the Frogner area.
One of my favorite hotels in Copenhagen, Hotel Guldsmeden, now has opened in my hometown, Oslo, too! That´s good news for all travellers who want a personal hotel, with nice rooms and friendly service. The hotel in Copenhagen is famous for its nice breafast – hope the Oslo-hotel will follow-up!
