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!!

Overall, we had a good stay at this property. The house is a beautiful contemporary design, with gorgeous views out over the fjord. High ceilings give a feeling of spaciousness, and was physically very comfortable for our family. The service side of things did not match expectations, especially given the price. There was no shampoo, body wash, or detergent provided. After discussion with the property manager, body wash was provided. Only two of three bedrooms were setup for guests, with the expectation apparently being that the children needed to share rooms unless specifically discussed ahead of time. This was also rectified. The hot tub was not clean, and a request to have it cleaned was not followed up on. Wall controls are used to control many functions in the house, and no longer work in all the rooms. We did not appreciate being given a list of checkout tasks given the substantial cleaning fee paid.In summary, we can recommend the house as a comfortable place to stay, but it feels like corners are being cut which was irritating given the price paid.

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!

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!

Fabulous stay!

Beautiful house! Huge and well equipped. Lovely and warm. Worth noting that the sofa bed in the fourth bedroom is only really big enough for one adult or two children. Also worth saying that there is no TV in the house- didn’t bother us as we were out a lot, but it might bother other people. The house is very tech heavy- which was a bit tricky as the main screen in the kitchen didn’t seem to be working but we figured it out through trial and error. We would definitely be back- loved it!

The home was beautiful and expansive, and was perfect for our family of four. The garage was a great feature for moving children and luggage during the cold. And the home was very close to the town which made our stay convenient. Would definitely stay again , amazing value also.

Wonderful stay in Akureyri

On our three week Iceland road trip in Sept/October. Akureyri was definitely a highlight: 1) Spacious house in a quiet area. 2) Beautiful view of surrounding snow cap mountains 3) One evening we saw the best Northern Lights of our entire trip so far. We went out on the porch noticed some lights and then saw some brilliant ones 30 feet outside front door. 4) Excellent proximity to Kelli Whale watching and downtown.

Amazing home with beautiful view

Home was amazing with beautiful view!!! Close to many attractions. The Forest Lagoon is minutes away and a fabulous place. Clean, comfortable, spacious and modern. Hot tub was nice even watched the Northern Lights while relaxing. Only suggestion is to bring toilet paper, paper towels and storage bags. Would visit again!!!
