The Real Iceland

Great stay in authentic Iceland farmhouse! Besides visiting the natural features of Iceland, the highlight of our trip was an optional meal service offered by the owners. The meal was great, I highly recommend taking advantage of the opportunity if you can. On-site caretaker extremely helpful and courteous.
Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2019
