Aarhus University rents out 4 renovated apartments in the old, protected, patrician Observatory villa, close to the beach and the beech forest, and right next door to Queen Margrethe’s holiday residence, Marselisborg Castle.
The apartments can only be rented by foreign guest professors and researchers visiting Aarhus University for limited periods of minimum two months and maximum 12 months. 1 month = 1 calendar month. If the first of a month falls on a weekend or a Danish holiday you cannot move in until the following Monday/weekday after 3 pm. The lessee must vacate the apartment no later than 10 am – 3 weekdays before the lease expires (which is the last day of a month. Saturday, Sunday or any kind of Danish holiday is not a weekday). The guests must be recommended by AU.
The apartments are fully furnished with Danish design furniture and are equipped with linen, kitchen utensils, television, and wireless internet linked to the network of the university. The price includes heating, water, electricity, internet access, and cable TV. Pets are not allowed.
The apartments are not hotel rooms, and the guests are expected to take good care of the apartments during their stay, just as they, when moving out, are expected to leave the apartments as they received them.
From the Observatory there is a 5 minute walk to public transportation (town bus 19), and it is possible to bike to Aarhus City and the university.
The following four apartments are available:
| NAME | SIZE (m2) | BEDROOMS/BEDS | FLOORS | PRICE |
