Read More...We had a great time on our trip to Iceland. The house is in the perfect spot to explore the west side of the island. We really enjoyed going to the Perlan museum, the Blue Lagoon, seeing all the waterfalls and our self driven Golden Circle tour. The island is a lot bigger than we were expecting, but each bit is quite spectacular. Ragna left a fantastic guide that was really useful and easy to use; we think it really helped us make the most of our week. Their home is lovely and comfortable, and was well stocked for our arrival. They took great care of our home and we couldn't have asked for better home-swappers.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is very friendly and quiet, a suburban area, with wild birdlife and often Icelandic horses in the neighbourhood. 1 km. from our house there is a heated swimmingpool with a wave-pool, a large slide and hot pots. There are nice walks along the coast from our house. Good views to mountains and ocean. There is one café/restaurant in our "village" and one snack-bar by the pool. 5 km. away there is a choice of restaurants, and a variety of supermarkets. Reykjavik center is 12 km. away, about 15. min. driving. From our house it´s possible to go on daytrips to f.ex. Gullfoss and Geysir (2 hrs.), to Snæfellsnes (3 hrs.) or the South-Coast, a day trip. Reykjanes peninsula is close by with the Blue Lagoon (40.min.) and a rugged lava landscape.
