“The cottage is gorgeous !! very comfortable, elegant furnished and equipped with everything you could wish for, including a sauna and a fantastic outdoor hot pool to wait for the northern lights! we had a fabulous week !!! the cottage is located in a strategic position to visit many attractions of this enchanting country, as it is located in the golden circle. Solveig welcomed us with great kindness, also supplying us with everything we needed for breakfast and a bottle of prosecco with which we toasted his health and this unforgettable trip to Iceland! I add that Solveig and his family were also excellent guests and took great care of our home... in one word, they are super recommended!”
