Great place

We loved our stay in this wonderful house and the host was respectful and nice. The only minus in my opinion would be that there's no barbeque at the house.

Great stay in Akureyri!

Well stocked house with great location - outside of the bustle of town but close enough to quickly access everything. Forest Lagoon just down the road was perfect for a relaxing dip, they are even open late so you can stop by after dinner! Hosts were responsive and helpful. Would stay again if back in the area!

This must be a hidden gem in Akureyri! The villa sits on a vast piece of land with its own private road. It is spacious and exquisitely furnished and expounds a luxurious feeling. The villa is well kept and clean.The rooms are spacious and the open concept kitchen is furnished with all the amenities needed for big family meals.Great views from the patio, especially when planes take off and land from the airstrip in the valley below.The owners and the house keeper are super friendly and responsive.We totally enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.Ps. The hot tub at the patio was a great bonus!!

A wonderful property in an incredible place

Stunning and convenient location for the town and airport yet felt like a sufficient distance away, wonderful modern property that was perfect for our family (of seven), lovely hot tub, great location for Aurora spotting and forest lagoon. Friendly and communicate hosts who interacted with us at all stages. A wonderful first visit to Akureyri - we will be back again soon!
