About this property
Summerhouse in Gjogv At the Edge of the Faroes
Summary:
Charming Red Cottage in Gjógv with Sea Views
Tucked into the heart of Gjógv — one of the most scenic villages in the Faroe Islands — this traditional red-painted cottage offers views straight out over the village rooftops, dramatic coastal cliffs, and the open sea. On a clear day the view is hard to beat.
The house is spread across two floors. Downstairs you'll find a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a practical entrance hall with plenty of space for coats and outdoor gear. Upstairs there are two bedrooms — each with a double bed and a single bed — a cosy living room, and a bathroom with a skylight. A deck at the back of the house has a solid wooden bench set, perfect for taking in the village atmosphere when the weather allows.
Gjógv is a small village with a natural harbour gorge, seabird cliffs, and easy access to hiking trails. It's about 45 minutes by car from Tórshavn and sits at the northern end of Eysturoy.
