Accommodations

Outdoor Spaces

Guests can use the garden and terrace at Eystri-Solheimar Vik i Myrdal, which both offer mountain views and direct access to the South Icelandic countryside. The property has sheep grazing around the grounds and a raven that visits for scraps. Being remote and dark, this location is practical for northern lights hunting.

Dining and Breakfast

A buffet breakfast is included at Eystri-Solheimar, with homemade geysir bread and rhubarb jam served during a set window. The breakfast room has limited seating, and some guests take fruit and apples to eat elsewhere. A shared kitchen is available for guest use, with an electric kettle and cooking supplies provided.

Services and Hosts

The host Einar or Anar offers attentive communication, including late check-ins and local recommendations marked on a map. Guests report helpful service, with luggage assistance on stairs and snowed-in days when lunch was provided. The staff speak Spanish and Chinese, and the owner once sent northern lights photos as a gesture.
