Magical

Great, spacious, modern, clean, great vibe home with a gorgeous view of the harbor and near the lighthouse which is the place to view the Northern lights. We followed all of Bjorn’s suggestions of where to eat and visit and he was spot on. A very attentive host. Thank you!

Great house in a great location

Totally remodeled home in a perfect setting. Quiet, peaceful setting, overlooking the harbor - and yet a 5 minute walk from everywhere. The house is great for a family or group. One bedroom and bathroom upstairs and 3 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs (the stairs are a bit steep, so little kids and older folks may need to be careful). The kitchen is fully equipped and has everything you need. We loved the house, and were so glad that we decided to spend a few days in Stykkisholmur. The town still feels like an old fishing village, and it is only beginning to be discovered by tourists. We wou7ld stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cute historic house

We spent four nights here and it was a great location to tour the peninsula. Hot tub was a plus. Loved the local pool. House was comfortable and clean. House is on two levels and the stairs to three of the four bedrooms are very steep. It would only be a problem to older people.

Must stay if traveling to Snaefellsness. Great home!

My family of five (10/12/14 yo) had a great visit. Town was great, home was awesome. Has everything you need. And more. We plan to come back. Home with character in a town that lacks none. Bjorn was very responsive. Perfectly located to explore Snaefellsnes and the Northwest Fjords. Can walk to ferry, groceries and dining.

About the host

Your host

I am a Marine engineer, and I have been working on ships all around the world.

Since 2009 I have been living in Barcelona with my wife and our 2 children.

Why they chose this property

I am a born and bread Hólmari (person from Stykkishólmur) and I purchased just after I graduated in 2004 and moved back to my home town again, I have been restoring it ever since. When I bought it it was actually 2 small apartments, as when built the whole basement was only used as a potato storage. and sometime in the 80´s it had been converted into a small room.

It was only in 2015 that we decided to join together the two floors, and therefore it has a slightly weird layout with bathrooms and such.

We try to go ourselves back to Iceland once or twice per year, and we absolutely love staying in Stykkishólmur, and as the old couple that lived there before I bought it told me "It has a great spirit"
