What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Its rooms are divided between four distinct buildings, from the main 1930s inn to the oldest one, Tingstova, which dates back to the 1630s.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Surrounded by heritage fruit orchards in Solvorn village, the grounds sit between towering mountains and the calm waters of the Lustrafjord.
The rooms
Accommodations span four historic and modern buildings, pairing seventeenth-century timber walls in Tingstova with private fjord-facing terraces in the garden wing.
Walaker Restaurant
Candlelit tables look out to the water for nightly four-course dinners of Lustrafjord langoustines and mountain venison.
How it began
In the same family since 1690, the estate converted an 1883 barn built from salvaged church timbers into a summer art gallery.
