Luxurious smart villa in Golden Circle, Reykholt, South Iceland
Scan the QR code from the photos to watch the virtual tour of our home . This is a brand new 4 bedroom villa , 1h away from Reykjavik, right in the middle of Golden Circle , very close to some of Iceland's most amazing attractions such as Geysir , Gullfoss, Fontana , Secret Lagoon, Thingvellir National Park , Kerid and other amazing places . The house is also situated at 10 mins walking distance to Fridheimar restaurant which is a unique experience having your lunch in their own growing tomatoes greenhouse , or have a dinner at Mika restaurant. Our house is superbly styled and makes is perfect for a luxurious getaway and you also can benefit of all smart devices that we have, to create your own comfort & athmosfere and control everything from our tablet ... for example you can have a relaxing bath choosing your most favorit and chilling colour or have a lovely dinner with your loved ones choosing from different types of lighting : warm , cold, colours or simply turn on the fire pit for a more relaxing athmosfere . Or how about using the fridge by playing quickly a youtube song on it while cooking your breakfast or maybe look online for a recipe for your dinner
Please note we ask for extra attention , specially with kids , for the fridge screen, electric fire pit , tv and cooker (my 4y daughter been pretty excited with all this ) , all are brand new , due to the reason that take months to be delivered and also pretty expensive .
Comfort & smart things in the house :
- Alexa smart voice control hub - exterior smart lights - coloured - hot tub - automatic garage for 1 car - inside button + remote control - smart thermostats - 75'' Smart 4k tv in the living room & 65'' tv in master bedroom - Netflix & Disney Plus access - coloured smart spot lights : hallways+ living room + kitchen + master bedroom + big bathroom - smart coffee machine - plenty of options , just need bit oftime to sort it out - cooker with induction hob - smart owen & dishwasher & fridge - touch screen +cameras + ice cubes - smart waching machine + dryer - Irobot vacuum cleaner - smart , can just program it while your out - baby bed availble - High chair availble on request
Few details about groceries shopping : I would recommend to stop on your way to buy from a bigger supermarket from Reykjavik or Selfoss as : Bonus (cheapest), Krona, Netto, Haugkaup … we do have a petrol station just 2 mins away and have most basic stuff, a bit bigger shop about 12 mins away (and yes from both you can buy vegetables , milk etc) but both are a bit more expensive and no many varieties .. also I recommend not buying water, Iceland have one of the best tap water in the world. List with what we provide :
- shampoo + conditioner - shower gel + hand soap - kitchen paper rolls+ toilet paper - dishes soap - coffee , tea , sugar - salt & pepper - washing machine + dishwasher tablets
Our coffee machine have a pretty big variety (you only need time to sort it out )and also we provide a big variety of teas so all is left for you to do is to relax and settle after yourney Please note : there will be a tablet in the house controlling all smart devices as changing colours for the lights or personalise your coffee or asking the IRobot to hoover a specific room , all orders from the tablet .
We always try our best to accommodate the schedules of our guests if an early check in / late check out it’s necessary , even if we have same day booking , as long as we can have a 4-5h gap between the reservations (big house , lots to wash/dry and clean) then we will try our best to find suitable options for everybody . Of course luggages can be dropped anytime ! Cleaning fee it’s included (it’s pretty high accually, one of the reasons the high nightly price also , the cleaning company charges about 400€ per each normal regular clean) and we don’t really ask our guests to do anything on their departure then treat our home with the same respect as they tread theirs and be tidy . I do believe it’s a fair request when staying not only at someone’s house but anywhere else really ! Don’t need to remove your rubbish at the end , don’t need to remove linen , don’t clean to wash the floor or clean the hot tub but please don’t leave dirty dishes stuck with old food , don’t treat the floor as a rubbish field and we are all good !
Note 2 : Around our house there are some constructions going on for 2 houses and usually woring hours are 8-16 , they are not there every day but i would like tiu to take in consideration if you are sleep sensitive. This constructions supposed to happen since summer 2021 but nothing accually moved forward since 2021 so we don’t know when will it happen.
Feel free to contact me if you need any other informations .

Great access to golden circle- amazing hot tub
Silvia was an amazing host. The house is walking distance to Froheimer restaurant. The wine bar is an absolute gem!The hot tub views are fantastic and the location has great access to golden circle!
Excellent, updated, modern apartment. Good location to explore Golden Circle. We enjoyed the hot tub on site and the Tomato farm nearby. Very spacious, The hosts were easy to communicate with prior to arrival and were very responsive to our questions. Great stay in Iceland!

Fantastic Home in Excellent Location
This is an amazing property. The listing does not do full justice to the thoughtful design and amazing array of amenities that are offered. This is a perfect base for exploring the Golden Circle, within very easy driving distance to all of the circle's highlights. Just minutes away from Friðheimar, and also convenient to other restaurants, grocers, and a petrol station. Strongly recommend for any groups looking for a place to stay outside of Reykjavik.

Modern space with great view
I stayed at this property with my wife, our one year old son, and my parents. The location is perched up on a hill with a great view overlooking the river. The house itself is modern and beautifully designed. Extremely functional great room with kitchen island and large couch to accommodate our relatively large family. Comfortable beds and nice extra touches including chocolates on arrival. Large deck with hot tub; perfect to relax and take in the views. Property managers were exceptional; friendly, accommodating, and easily accessible. We would love to visit again!!!

Heart of Iceland
We were a group of 8, four adult couples who wanted to stay in the countryside of Iceland. The home is beautiful and well equipped with modern conveniences. The master bedroom was very modern and chic. The bathrooms were modern and clean.The other 3 bedrooms were comfortable. The location was perfect for our exploration of Iceland's waterfalls. Our favorites were Skogafoss and Gulfoss. The Mika restaurant down the hill had great pizza. The host and hostess were very friendly and accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay at this property again.

Peaceful and Beautiful
This was our first trip to Iceland and this property was our first lodging out of four. Stayed two nights and everything was as close to perfect as it could be. After our trip, everyone in my party agreed that this unit was the nicest place we stayed at! The hosts are nearby and attentive to any needs you may have. We would definitely stay here again if we get the opportunity to do so.

Wonderful home
The best-equipped rental we’ve stayed in — tea, coffee, kitchen supplies. Beautiful, spotless hole in great location. Beautiful hot tub, incredibly accommodating and helpful host. Convenient to Geysir, Gulfoss, delicious restaurants, mini mart and grocery not too far. Our kids loved the home as well. My family wanted to spend the entire week here!

Great place
Well what can i say from the time we opened the door we was so impressed. It was like going into a show home off a property program off the telly. There was nothing i would change about the villa hot tub we didn't use but that was due to weather and also being out all day sightseeing. The host was fantastic letting us know about weather and also if we had anything we wanted was not a problem. If you are looking to stay in this area do not hesitate to book this villa. One of my boys is already looking to book with some of his friends and i wouldn't book anywhere else when i go back. Great location for the golden circle but you will have to have a car but you are close to some waterfalls, geysers and also not to far from Vic black beach which i loved all in all a great stay and great country very friendly i loved it

grandiose Location für totale Entspannung
Die Lage des Objekts sowie die Hilfsbereitschaft der Vermieterin sind hier besonders hervorzuheben. Komplett neuwertiges Haus mit liebevoller, persönlicher Einrichtung und kompletter Ausstattung. Gerade in dieser Umgebung gibt es unheimlich viele tolle, beeindruckende Sehenswürdigkeiten mit kurzen Fahrzeiten. Selbst das Restaurant MIKA in diesem kleinen Örtchen Reykholt hat uns grandiose Speisen bereitet. Auf jeden Fall empfehlen wir dieses Haus gerne jedem weiter. Herzliche Grüße an die Gastgeberin Silvia.
