Description
We, Marco and Britta, are from Italy (Lake Maggiore) and Germany/Switzerland (Lake Lugano). Marco has traveled the world (by motorcycle and sailboat) and, after 24 years of traveling together with now 50 years old "Cadeau" (the sailboat, a Swan 44), he found a new port the boat and a home for himself on Vannøya island.
And here we are... we live a bit "At the end of the world"; and that’s also our motto: to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and create — and enjoy — a place where you can see and experience nature and authentic Norway. Here, you can feel the real wind on your face, often even Arctic air... We build and bring ideas to life, always with our own hands and as typically Norwegian as possible. Projects: the largest and northernmost travel and maritime library in a Norwegian house (over 100 years old); reviving old boathouse foundations and creating a home for an old Nordland boat; renovating the Nordland boat... we never run out of ideas... we're looking forward to your help and ideas... .
Our new project: we’ve got two old boathouse ruins that we’re bringing back to life.
One of them will become home for our old Nordland boat (which also will need some love at some point ), and the other one… a bit fancier — a cozy spot for coffee, reading and just relaxing
The ruins are built from stone, so yeah… this summer is going to be a bit of a workout.
But we’re super excited to see how it all turns out—maybe with your help

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Our guests will learn what is life at the end of the World. They will have a unique opportunity to discover the culture and the traditions of the people living in these remote areas. Moreover Vannøya has amazing mountains and treks for the free time. Once a week we also go sailing as we have a sailboat.
Aide
We search lovers of nature, books and faraway places
There are 2 houses on the property and we are restoring the old house as a house of books at the end of the World, a place that tells the story of the island and the area in the Arctic.

Hébergement
The property has 2 houses and our guests will sleep in one of the 4 bedrooms of the house with shared bathrooms...(If possible, singles will have their own room, but in some cases they may have to share; couples have their own room.
We don’t provide meals, but sharing food is a big part of the experience for us 🤍
Whenever possible, we like to cook and eat together — simple, relaxed, and social.
We’ll coordinate as a group, split grocery costs and cooking, and share everyday chores — kind of like living together as a little family.

The island of Vannøya, where the mountain meets the sea, is a paradise for mountain and nature lovers, anglers and an oasis for body and soul.
