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.

Another fantastic stay at this wonderful and distinctive home!
After a wonderful experience 18 months ago we returned to Hrafnabjorg for a second stay, this time with friends who joined us for a visit to northern Iceland. Everything was fantastic again, particularly with the amazing views with the snow covered mountains. Always warm and comfortable to return to after our daily explorations around the region, we will most definitely be back again in the future!

Beautiful Modern Home Overlooking Akureyri
This is a very stylish, modern home that has views of Akureyri, the fjord and the surrounding mountains. It's very comfortable and peaceful. It's just a short 5-10 minute drive to the center of town or the airport. We have already booked our return trip.

Amazing
The house is amazing. The views it offers are superb. We spent a week admiring the view up, down and across the fjord to Akureyri. The hot tup and steam room were great. The garden is huge and i winter is good for sledding.

Lovely Modern Villa
This modern villa had amazing views both inside and out. Absolutely adored the architecture and design of the entire place as well as the proximity to Akureryi. I would recommend this place for anyone traveling who likes a larger home base or anyone who appreciates modern architecture and design.

I love this place
The title says it all. Akureyri is a lovely town nestled in the mountains and the view from this house across the fjord is truely amazing. The location is perfect as youre not too far from the town where there is a great selection of restaurants, and you are centrally located to easily access the great North Iceland. Already looking to book a rdturn trip.
