About this property

Exclusive villa opposite Akureyri

This exclusive villa is very well situated just opposite Akureyri. It is rented by celebrities but also by other people who enjoy the location and the high standard of the house. It was built by the Icelandic architect Fanney Hauksdottir in 2006. It was recently refurbished with high-quality equipment such as ReVoX audio equipment as well as with attractive materials such as walnut, shale and glass.

The house is surrounded by a 16'000 m2 garden and a security fence. An alarm system and cameras ensure safety for the guests. Any kind of additional service is available on request.

During winter snow drifts may block road access to the house. The road to our fence and the driveway is not maintained during winter time. In this case a short walk (400 meters) is necessary. If you have difficulties with this, have a look at our house Leifsstadir: http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p2365219.

Please note that this is a strictly non-smoking environment.

Magical stay as a midpoint on our ring road trip. We stayed 4 nights to rest up and enjoy some of the fabulous towns in the north. We ventured to the Troll Peninsula, the Diamond Circle and up to Husavik for horseback riding and whale watching. This was the perfect home to come home to. We enjoyed the hot top, the comfortable beds, having laundry facilities, it was all wonderful!

Another Wonderful Stay

We just finished 6 nights at Hrafnabjorg. This was our second stay at this particular home. Everything was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, it was fun to have a hot tub to relax in each night and the views of the fjord and Akureyri are spectacular. We were 3 adults & 2 kids. We highly recommend it!

Amazing property!!!!

If you are on the fence about booking this property or think that it is fake or too good to be true you are wrong. It is absolutely fantastic!!! One of the best places we’ve stayed in our travels. The views are epic, especially if you are there in the winter and see the northern lights from the windows or the hot tub. It is quiet, private, great location to Akrueyri, the diamond circle, Húsavík and so many other places in the north. We loved the heated floors, the hot tub, the steam room, the automatic window shades, the tub, just everything about the house is top notch. So, book it now :)

Villa mit Traumblick und Ausstattung

Wir wollten uns als Familie (3 erwachsene Kinder) etwas Besonderes gönnen und gemeinsam die Nordlichter und den Isländischen Winter erleben.Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.Nordlichter aus dem Hot Pool beobachten zu können, ist schon einzigartig.Die Ausstattung ist gehoben, das Raumgefühl / Design hervorragend und die Aussicht wunderschön.Organisatorisch hat alles sehr gut funktioniert. Gerne wieder!

Perfect in every way!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was comfortable and had everything we needed, as well as extra thoughtful touches. The views were absolutely incredible! On our first night the aurora were out and we just turned off all the lights and watched from the living room- it was magical. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer!

Incredible views and fantastic house

We loved the stay here - great house and well equipped. The beds were really comfortable and the house really warm. The location was incredible - the most stunning views and easy access to Akureyri and surrounding areas. We visited Husavik, Grenivik, Hauganes, and Myvatn area. We also saw the Northern lights from the garden!
