About ARV
ARV is about preserving homes and history
The word ARV means heritage in Norwegian, and that’s where it all started. My great great grandfather was from the North, and I grew up hearing stories about him fishing in the Arctic Ocean. When I first came to Lofoten, those stories became real.
"We renovated these lodges to be more than just a place to stay — this heritage is passed on to the next genereation."

Honoring Our Heritage, Nurturing Our World
At ARV, we believe true luxury lies in preservation. Pittelille is an old northern home, restored with care and respect for its original materials. Each detail is renewed, not replaced, keeping its quiet soul alive while embracing modern comfort. Take a look at the before and after pictures to see how it all began and how we did it.
