After traveling the world, I love people and different cultures. After being in the tourism- and hotel industry for many years, I know a thing or two about hospitality and guiding.
Thus, feel free to contact me for any occasion.

Why they chose this property
Ólafsfjörður is one of the most beautiful fjord in Iceland, yet not so visited. It is authentic: the mountains are untouched, few people around, friendly locals in nearby town and a few farmers.
If you want the essence of Icelandic country site culture, this is the place to see.

What makes this property unique
Hidden Cottages stand out due to the location, high class windows and hot tubs.
The location is in the "middle of nowhere" yet only a few minutes drive to the next town and attractions. It is surrounded by mountains and green fields, with views out the fjord over lake Ólafsfjarðarvatn and to the ocean.
Due to no light pollution, the location is the best for Northern Lights.
