About this property

Design Villa with a Large Hot Tub and Amazing Views on Snaefellsnes Peninsula

Wide-open mountain views. A large private hot tub. A beautiful house with space to bring everyone together.

Welcome to Hrossholt, a spacious design villa for up to 12 guests on a secluded farm in West Iceland. With five bedrooms, two bathrooms and views towards Eldborg crater, it is a place to enjoy privacy, good company and the landscapes that make this part of Iceland special.

Spend your days discovering Snæfellsnes, then return to dinner together, a soak beneath the sky and an evening with the mountains beyond your windows.

PRIVACY, SPACE AND A SENSE OF PLACE

Hrossholt’s secluded setting gives you room to slow down. Start the morning with coffee and an open view of the countryside. Watch the light move across the mountains, take a walk or settle into the living room with nothing more planned than enjoying where you are.

Three rivers—Núpá, Þverá and Haffjarðará—are within walking distance, adding to the appeal for guests who enjoy exploring their surroundings on foot.

Whether you are travelling with extended family or a group of friends, Hrossholt gives you a private place to share the holiday.

YOUR OWN LARGE HOT TUB

The large private hot tub is one of Hrossholt’s standout features. Return from a day outdoors, step onto the terrace and sink into the warm water with mountain views around you.

In summer, enjoy the long evening light and an unhurried barbecue. During the darker months, look up at the night sky: when weather and aurora conditions align, you may see the northern lights from the property.

There is no need to fill every evening with plans. Some are best spent right here.

A HOUSE THAT MAKES THE MOST OF THE VIEW

Large windows bring the landscape into the living spaces, with views towards Eldborg crater from the cosy living room and mountains in every direction.

The modern interior offers generous space to gather while keeping the surroundings in sight. Spend a quiet afternoon indoors, share stories from the day or simply watch Iceland’s changing weather from the comfort of the house.

COOK, DINE AND SPEND TIME TOGETHER

The spacious kitchen and dining area are at the heart of Hrossholt.

Prepare breakfast while the day’s plans take shape, cook a favourite meal together or pick up local ingredients for dinner at home. The large kitchen island gives you room to work and a natural place to gather.

Outside, the barbecue offers another way to enjoy a relaxed meal. Having your own kitchen, dining space and terrace makes it easy to settle into a rhythm that suits your group.

FIVE BEDROOMS, TWO BATHROOMS

Five comfortable bedrooms give families and friends space to retreat at the end of the day. Two bathrooms, both with showers, provide practical comfort for a shared stay.

Hrossholt accommodates up to 12 guests, combining generous communal spaces with separate bedrooms for rest and privacy.

DISCOVER SNÆFELLSNES AT YOUR OWN PACE

Make Hrossholt your base for exploring the varied landscapes of Snæfellsnes.

Discover the volcanic scenery around Eldborg and the basalt columns of Gerðuberg. Plan a day along the peninsula’s southern coast or explore its northern side, where fishing towns and mountain scenery offer a different perspective.

Allow time for the landscapes of Snæfellsjökull National Park, where volcanic terrain meets the ocean. Around the peninsula, places such as Arnarstapi, Hellnar, Kirkjufell and Stykkishólmur give you plenty of possibilities for building your own itinerary.

Rather than trying to see everything in one day, choose outings that suit your interests and the weather. Staying at Hrossholt lets you return to the same comfortable base while discovering a different part of the region each day.

MAKE ROOM FOR A QUIETER DAY

Between sightseeing days, enjoy the reason you chose a house in the countryside.

Sleep a little longer. Share breakfast without packing your bags. Take in the views, enjoy the terrace and leave time for another soak in the hot tub.

Hrossholt is as much a place to spend your holiday as a base for exploring it.

Beautiful home with a lot of privacy

Sitting in the sparkling clean hot pool on the porch at night in the frigid air and gazing at the sky was incredible. House was huge and rooms were big - could fit a lot of people comfortably. Beds were very comfy too!

The house was immaculate and modern, had absolutely everything we needed and check in/ check out was flawless. The hot tub is huge and we enjoyed using it. The location is very secluded but just what we wanted in an attempt to see some northern lights from the hot tub which is exactly what happened on our last night. Spectacular.

Lovely stay at Hrossholt on Snaefellsnes Peninsula

This house is very clean, warm, inviting and modern. It has a great kitchen, comfortable rooms and beautiful views from the hot tub. It allows for a great relaxing time with family after driving the ring road. The weather was beautiful AND we saw the northern lights which was the highlight of our trip. Great hosts who communicated well. We highly recommend this property.

Amazing hosts and house!

All the communication with Heidi and Rob was outstanding.The house was better than we anticipated. We had 10 adults and we all fit very well. The hot tub was so great after long days of exploring and hiking. The house was very modern and well laid out. The week we stayed with them happened to be one of the warmest on record. I contacted the host because the house was very warm at night, they were so kind and brought a couple of fans over which helped. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

This is by far the BEST home rental we have ever had! It far exceeded our expectations, especially after renting similar places in other parts of Iceland for our group of 10. Our whole family would have loved to stay more to enjoy this home! It is modern, specious, well laid out and well furnished. The surrounding nature is beautiful and breathtaking. The hosts have clearly documented instructions about everything and even have a full map of Iceland and a visitor guide for easy reference! There is temperature control in every room. There were plenty of towels! This home made our whole Iceland trip worthwhile.

We are a three generation family of 9. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Plenty of room, books and games for all ages. The hot tub and the cold plunge were awesome, so relaxing after our days of hiking. Having a rainy day was a benefit as we could watch the waterfalls coming off the cliffs from the kitchen windows. The Elbourg crater and river near the house were more eye treats. And horses and sheep!!!! The hosts were quickly available for any questions. We all thought, “How can we move here?” Vegamot Restaurant at the Snaefellsness Hotel was welcoming with delicious food.

Wir hatten einen rundum gelungenen Aufenthalt und können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.Das Haus war bei unserer Ankunft sehr sauber, gepflegt und entsprach vollständig der Beschreibung sowie den Fotos im Inserat. Die Ausstattung ließ keine Wünsche offen und alles war in einem sehr guten Zustand.Auch die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter verlief freundlich und unkompliziert. Wir haben uns während unseres Aufenthalts sehr wohlgefühlt und würden diese Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen.

Host profile image
We have been building up our Vacation rental business in the last few years and now we own many amazing modern Vacation rentals located in the West and South of Iceland, for our guests to enjoy.

Our goal is to offer our guests the perfect private holiday home to relax, to enjoy the surrounding nature and views and to have a good base to explore our beautiful country.

All of our houses have a hot tub and everything a cozy and comfortable home needs and are available all year round. We welcome you whether you want to visit during winter to view the Northern Lights or during summer when the nights are bright.

Our houses are different in size, style and location so everyone should be able to find the perfect house for their group to stay at. So whether you are a couple, a family or a group of friends, one of our rentals could be the right one for you.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to build a nice holiday home, villa, where we could relax and recharge the batteries and we think that's precisely what we succeeded. Also the short distance to the town Borgarnes and Stykkishólmur, where you can find all necessities, and to the Capital Reykjavík, is a very big advantage.

What makes this property unique

Peacefulness - You can sit outside on the terrace or walk around the house and enjoy the nature and the amazing mountain view in the peaceful surroundings.

Location - The location of the house is ideal for exploring the west side of Iceland, especially Snæfellsnes peninsula. There are short driving distances to many beautiful places in the nature such as waterfalls, craters and the famous Snæfellsjökull glacier with all its glory and Power. Museums and historical places are also nearby. There is only about 30 minutes drive to the nearest town, Borgarnes to the South and 30 minutes to Stykkishólmur to the North, where you can find for example a swimming pool, golf course, shops, bakery, restaurants, library and health care.
