Beautiful home between glacier and sea, Iceland

PERFECT PLACE TO EXPLORE ICELAND. STUNNING VIEW TO THE GLACIER AND SEA
Kjarvalströð is a new luxury 'old style' privately owned cottage located in the spectacular and unique surroundings of Snaefellsnes on the west coast of Iceland. To Hellnar, it takes approx. 2.5 hours to drive from Reykjavik. The National Park is only 5 min away. Enjoy the magnificent views of the glacier Snaefellsjökull, the surrounding mountains and over the bay Faxaflói. The cottage is one of a few cottages designed as Icelandic houses from the 1920s. There are plenty of things to do and see in the area such as: beautiful hiking, whale watching, sailing around the many islands, historical places, bird watching, horse riding, skiing and sightseeing on the glacier.

If you are looking for a quiet area to relax or want to explore the unspoiled nature and many wonderful activities in the area, the cottage is the perfect place!
