For over ten years, we have been living together in this breathtaking part of South Iceland, surrounded by stunning landscapes. From our home, we have a panoramic view of the incredible Eyjafjallajökull volcano and the town of Hella on one side. On another side, we admire majestic mountains, and on the third side, we see the ocean with the Westman Islands on the horizon. We love hosting guests and sharing the magic of this place with people from all over the world. We enjoy talking, cooking, playing guitar, and creating warm and memorable moments with our visitors.
