OCEAN FRONT VILLA, NEAR BLUE LAGOON

Io e la mia famiglia siamo stati in questa casa per 4 giorni ed abbiamo rimpianto di non aver trascorso più tempo.L'appartamento è nuovo e ben attrezzato. La posizione è semplicemente fantastica, vicino ai punti di interesse più famosi dell'Islanda. Non lontano dalla capitale e non isolato. La parte esterna è sublime e la vista nei giorni di sole è meravigliosa. Otarie fronte casa completano il tutto. Estremamente raccomandato alle famiglie con bambini. DVD di cartoni e films in casa. La vasca idro nel giardino ed il Weber barbecue ti fanno sentire come in nessun posto in Islanda. La disponibilità dei proprietari è grandissima........veramente consigliata

My friend and I stayed in this apartment in February 2012. Cozy bed/blankets, well appointed kitchen, nice bathroom (no tub but we didn't need one), and a warm hot tub. Compliment that with fantastic hosts who went above and beyond (making us a delicious cake, advising on road condition information, and finely mapping out directions), and what more could you want? Great place to stay if you want to save a bit of money, rent your own car (the hosts helped with this, too), cook some of your own food, and feel more like a local. Lovely country and a great place!

For my Husbands 50th Birthday we decided to explore Iceland and more importantly witness the spectacular of the Northern Lights. Something Gerry had always wanted to see and this looked like the perfect base to do both. We were not disappointed on either count!

The place looks great on the internet but is even better when you are enjoying it. Birgir & Anna have truly made this a home from home providing everything you could ever need with some lovely special touches that make it a cut above the rest (thanks again for the cake!).

We managed to see the lights on two occasions from the garden (using the shed as a shelter from the cold wind)....it was the perfect spot....with the lights of Reykjavik in the distance and the sea to the side. We even caught site of them as we were travelling back home through the city! Obviously this is all dependent on certain things: Is the Aurora Active? Is it a clear night? Birgir will give you some websites to check both of these. I have since found that you can also get an iphone app for that...just search for Aurora Forecast....it's free and shows you the map of Aurora coverage over Iceland!!

We also managed to do quite a bit of exploring from here to some fantastic waterfalls; Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Urridafoss - all spectacular. We are now tempted to come back and explore the rest of Iceland!

And of course the Blue Lagoon was just down the road...lovely!

So thank you Birgir & Anna for helping to make this a truly memorable Birthday.
