If you are dreaming of a peaceful Icelandic getaway, we highly recommend checking out our friends’ beautiful new guesthouse at Svalbarð in North Iceland - just north of Hvammstangi. 🇮🇸
This is exactly the kind of place people imagine when they think of Iceland: quiet open landscapes, fresh northern air, views over Húnaflói Bay and the Westfjords, a private shoreline, endless nature walks, birdlife, seals nearby, midnight sun in summer, northern lights in winter, and no neighboring houses in sight.
The guesthouse itself is a beautifully restored former hay-silage tower that has been transformed into a unique 60 m² apartment — full of character, history, and modern comfort.
And of course, for horse people, it gets even better: Hindisvík is an active Icelandic horse breeding farm, and guests can book private riding tours right from the property from May through October.
So if you are looking for a serene retreat where you can slow down, breathe the Icelandic air, enjoy the wild beauty of the north, and spend time with wonderful Icelandic horses, this is a very special place to put on your list.
