About this property

Ferstikla II - Hvalfjörður, close to Reykjavík

A newly renovated, 119 sq meters, house located in Hvalfjordur with a great scenery over both mountains and the ocean. Close to major tourist attractions such as Húsafell and Glymur (Iceland’s highest waterfall) while the Golden Circle, Langjökull & Snæfellsnes are all within reasonable driving distance.

The place is located only 20 minutes by car from Akranes, where one can find all necessities, tourist information and other general service, 30 minutes from Borgarnes and only a short 45 minute drive from the capital, Reykjavík.

In close vicinity to the house you can find an outdoor swimming pool and two of the best golf courses in the country. The northern lights (aurora borealis) can be seen from the house and the comforts of the newly installed hot tub.

Ferstikla 2 is perfect

We stayed three nights and we did not want to leave. Beautiful sunrises and beautiful sunsets and a great location to see south and western Iceland. And the house is charming with a lovely personal touch.

Beautiful property

The house was clean and very roomy. The one bathroom for 3 of us, we thought would be a challenge but it worked out fine. The view is amazing, unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there so we didn't enjoy the patio and hot tub. It was farther from Reykjavik than I thought but the drive was easy.

Traumhaft am Fjord

Das Haus Ferstlika 2 war unsere 1. Anlaufstelle in Island. Den unvergleichlichen Blick auf den Fjord und die umliegenden Berge haben wir aus jedem Fenster genossen. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich und wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Gute Ausgangslage für verschiedene Ausflüge: Reykjavik, Hraunafoss, Fjord Umrundung. Darüber hinaus fanden wir Entspannung im HotPot. Gerlinde

Zwei Wochen am Fjord

Mein Mann und ich verbrachten zwei wunderbare Wochen in Ferstikla/Hvalfjördur. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, es hat alles, was man braucht. Die Aussicht auf den Fjord ist phantastisch. Das Haus liegt einsam und sehr ruhig. Um das Haus herum kann man schöne Spaziergänge durch Wald und dem Meer entlang machen.

Absolutely Wonderful

The house is just beautiful! We enjoyed the hot tub and the back deck. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The owner was very responsive and friendly. The grocery store was close and you definitely want to stock up before getting to the house. Tips- bring your debit card with a pin for fuel. They don't take credit cards. Vik is about 2 1/2 hours away but well worth the drive. Go see the Katla caves! We went in March and it was very cold and windy. Go visit in the spring! The house has a washer and dryer so don't overpack. There wasn't a microwave so plan for that.

Wunderschönes Haus mit atemberaubender Aussicht

Wir haben sehr schöne und unvergessliche Tage in diesem tollen Haus verbracht. Der Check-In hat wunderbar geklappt. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern ist unkompliziert und sehr freundlich. Wir haben uns unglaublich wohl gefühlt Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet. Die Aufteilung der Zimmer ist sehr gut. Die Küche ist top ausgestattet, mit Pfannen und Töpfen sowie Kaffeemaschine, Wasserkocher, Toaster u. v. m. Das Haus verfügt über eine Waschmaschine und einen Trockner in einem separaten Zimmer. Sowohl von der Küche wie auch dem Wohnzimmer hat man einen unbeschreiblich schönen Ausblick auf den Fjord. Wer braucht da Fernsehen, wenn man diesen Blick genießen hat? Die Landschaft rund um das Haus ist fantastisch und man kann gar nicht genug davon bekommen. Der Hot Pot wurde fast täglich genutzt, bei dem herrlichen Winterwitter genau das richtige. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und kommen gerne wieder.

Paradise on Hvalfjordur

This property is not only beautiful and private, but it’s larger than it looks from the pictures. It is well appointed and I am taking some decorating ideas home with me! The views are priceless and it allowed us to have a real home to come back to after long days of immersing ourselves in this beautiful country. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us, we loved it!

Amazing home

We stayed a week in September 2022 at this lovely home. For us the home was in a perfect location for both privacy and the ability to travel throughout the southwest and western part of Iceland. Reykjavik is a 45 min drive from the home. The home is super clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the hot tub very much. The beds were great and the kitchen is well equipped. We were fortunate to be able to see the Northern Lights one night at the house. We would love to visit again some day!

Tolles Haus in schöner Lage

Wir haben die Tage mit unseren zwei erwachsenen Töchtern hier sehr genossen. Das Haus ist praktikabel ausgestattet und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Vom Wohnzimmer, Schlafzimmer, der Terrasse und dem Hot Tub hat man eine schöne Aussicht in die Landschaft und aufs Wasser. Wir können das Haus auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Viel Platz und traumhafter Ausblick

Das Haus war unser erster Anlaufpunkt nach der Landung in Island und erwies sich als eine sehr gute Wahl auf unserem Weg in den Norden. Ca. 1 Stunde 20 min vom Flughafen entfernt ist die Strecke nach der Ankunft und Übernahme des Autos noch gut zu bewältigen. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war sehr pünktlich und sehr herzlich. Die Wegbeschreibung war sehr gut und das Haus damit leicht zu finden. Der Schlüssel befindet sich in einer Box am Haus. Der Schlüsselcode wurde rechtzeitig mitgeteilt. Somit würde sich das Haus auch für sehr späte Ankünfte eignen. Das Haus selbst ist modernisiert und sehr schön eingerichtet. Es wurde liebevoll ausgestattet, und es ist alles vorhanden, was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigt. Vom Toilettenpapier über Gewürze bis zu Folien und Geschirrspültabs war alles da und noch viel mehr. Aber das beste ist der Ausblick auf den Fjord sowohl von der Terasse als auch aus dem Pool und aus fast allen Zimmern des Hauses. Die Schlafzimmer sind gemütlich und die Betten sind sehr gut. Alles war sauber und sehr schön für unsere Ankunft vorbereitet. Auch der Pool war sehr sauber und gut zu bedienen. Da wir das Haus auf der Hintour nur zwei Tage hatten, haben wir uns auf die weiteren zwei Tage auf der Rücktour sehr gefreut. Beim nächten mal bleiben wir länger. Das Haus ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für viele Unternehmungen in Südwesten und im Süden. Wir haben nur den Weg um den schönen Fjord herum erkundet. Und wir haben die äußerst lohnenswerte Wanderung zum Glymur Wasserfall gemacht. Bei gutem Wetter ein tolles Erlebnis. Liebe Vermieter, es war toll, wir kommen wieder.
