About this property
Valey Countryside Escape Discover a peaceful retreat in rural Iceland.
Valey Countryside Escape is now open for bookings from May first 2026. Valey Countryside Escape is a private countryside accommodation located on a working farm in Hvammstangi, northern Iceland. The house is thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy, offering a calm and welcoming space where guests can truly unwind. Large windows bring the surrounding landscape indoors, filling the space with natural light and open views.
The property is surrounded by open fields, fresh air, and the quiet rhythm of rural life. Icelandic horses often graze nearby, adding to the authentic farm atmosphere. The location offers a rare sense of space and stillness, while remaining conveniently close to local services. The town of Hvammstangi is just a short drive away, with restaurants, cafés, shops, and essential amenities.
Valey is an ideal base for exploring the region. Nearby attractions include the Icelandic Seal Center, coastal walking trails, black sand beaches, and scenic viewpoints along the Vatnsnes peninsula. In winter, the area is well suited for northern lights viewing thanks to minimal light pollution and wide, open skies.
Valey Countryside Escape is owned and operated by Valey ehf., a small, family-run Icelandic company focused on quality, care, and a personal approach to hosting. As hosts, we value clear communication, attention to detail, and creating a stay that feels both comfortable and genuine. Guests can expect a well-prepared home, thoughtful touches, and local knowledge if needed — while always respecting privacy.
Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat, a romantic countryside stay, or a comfortable base to experience northern Iceland, Valey Countryside Escape offers a relaxed, authentic, and memorable stay.

Why they chose this property
This place is especially meaningful to us, as Fanney grew up here and has a deep connection to the land. The surrounding countryside has long been home to horses, and she continues to train and care for them on the property today.
The area offers a rare sense of calm and authenticity, where nature, open space, and everyday life come together. Being close to the horses and the peaceful rural surroundings creates a unique atmosphere that we truly enjoy — and love sharing with our guests.
