About this property

Exclusive villa opposite Akureyri

This exclusive villa is very well situated just opposite Akureyri. It is rented by celebrities but also by other people who enjoy the location and the high standard of the house. It was built by the Icelandic architect Fanney Hauksdottir in 2006. It was recently refurbished with high-quality equipment such as ReVoX audio equipment as well as with attractive materials such as walnut, shale and glass.

The house is surrounded by a 16'000 m2 garden and a security fence. An alarm system and cameras ensure safety for the guests. Any kind of additional service is available on request.

During winter snow drifts may block road access to the house. The road to our fence and the driveway is not maintained during winter time. In this case a short walk (400 meters) is necessary. If you have difficulties with this, have a look at our house Leifsstadir: http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p2365219.

Please note that this is a strictly non-smoking environment.

Another fantastic stay at this wonderful and distinctive home!

After a wonderful experience 18 months ago we returned to Hrafnabjorg for a second stay, this time with friends who joined us for a visit to northern Iceland. Everything was fantastic again, particularly with the amazing views with the snow covered mountains. Always warm and comfortable to return to after our daily explorations around the region, we will most definitely be back again in the future!

Spectacular Vacation home and view

This house was so incredible! It was like staying at Spa. The amenities were outstanding - The outdoor infinity hot tub and the inside steam room were well used and extremely enjoyed, as was the deep bathtub. Every view from the house was breath-taking. We truly enjoyed our stay and I highly recommend it to anyone!

Modern and stylish villa with great views to Akureyri and the harbour

We really enjoyed the modern rooms with the views and the Revox sound system. It is a luxurious and spacious villa with large glass fronts from living room, bedroom and even bathroom. Large property and very calm. Just one hour drive away from the wonderful Myvatn area, and 30 minutes from Godarfoss.

Spectacular home in an ideal and picturesque location in northern Iceland.

Quite simply a spectacular home in a spectacular location. The on-line pictures, despite being beautiful, actually do not do justice to the property or the 270 degree view from the living room. Amenities are high end and easy to use including the hot tub and steam room. The location is ideal for day trips to explore the highlights of northern Iceland.

This is a comfortable, well designed house in a good location. Folks who want to see a variety of remarkable geological sites and thermal hot springs can find them within a 1.5 hour drive from this location. We had a peaceful panoramic view of Akureyri, the river, and surrounding mountains from the huge windows across the front of the house. The house was perfectly cleaned and provided all the amenities needed for cooking and relaxing. The four of us cooked lots of delicious meals, listened to a variety of music provided by the host, and spent quiet time in the hot tub. The beds are very comfortable and the floors are heated.The property manager was responsive and cooperative. They provided a useful guide for living in the house and special places to see. We would stay there again if we returned.

Magical stay as a midpoint on our ring road trip. We stayed 4 nights to rest up and enjoy some of the fabulous towns in the north. We ventured to the Troll Peninsula, the Diamond Circle and up to Husavik for horseback riding and whale watching. This was the perfect home to come home to. We enjoyed the hot top, the comfortable beds, having laundry facilities, it was all wonderful!

Another Wonderful Stay

We just finished 6 nights at Hrafnabjorg. This was our second stay at this particular home. Everything was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, it was fun to have a hot tub to relax in each night and the views of the fjord and Akureyri are spectacular. We were 3 adults & 2 kids. We highly recommend it!
