Karl and Jona were very communicative hosts. We enjoyed having so much privacy with the location of the cottage, but we recommend picking up groceries before you head out here. We also recommend visiting the thermal baths at Fontana ( a 5 min drive). Much less crowded than the Blue Lagoon and a fraction of the price! We will definitely book this cottage again ##### Shona E.

After our exploration tours on the "Golden Circle" we always liked to come back here to relax in the hot tub...it takes a little getting used to that the hot water "smells" a bit (sulphur)... but it wasn't Problem.
