About this property

Great villa in the center of Reykjavik on the most beautiful valley of the town

A modern spacious villa with the great view of the most beautiful valley in the center of Reykjavik (Fossvogurvalley), located in a quiet and family friendly neighborhood just few minutes from the City Center.

The main floor has an open living/dining room area with large table and 2 big sofas.and provides a great place for families and groups to relax and enjoy a good meal after a busy day of sightseeing. From the living room it is possible to access in the open space to a nice side open room for the TV. At the same floor there is a spacious kitchen with table, a large bedroom that can be used also as spacious office and a fully furnished bathroom.
The upper floor has 3 bedrooms, a central living room with spacious sofa, TV and DVD player and a fully furnished bathroom.

A washing machine can be accessed on the lower floor together with bikes, storage area and garage. The house has 2 parking places of own property next to the villa.
A nice garden on the back of the villa provides a great outdoor dining area in the summer or a romantic Christmas area in the winter. 11 tries are limiting the garden in all its perimeter.
Downtown Reykjavík is just a 10 minutes drive and from the villa it’s short to walk to the nature valley of Fossvogur, a perfect place for hiking, biking, bird-watching or for a picnic. All the most beautiful villas of Reykjavik are located in this valley.

The villa can serve as a great base for various day trips outside of Reykjavík, such as the popular Golden Circle , or to the Geysers area, the Iceberg-lagune, to the horse riding facilities and to the thermal lake of the Blue Lagune. Golf clubs are also very near. Football and Tennis are available in the valley, just few minutes away from the house.

We can provide any assistance and give good tips to enjoy a nice holiday in Iceland and find the most affordable way to visit the country. We are a married couple Italian and Icelandic and we share the local knowledge of the country and the 'Italian' approach to get good deals and great service.

We have also gained with the time a very good experience about restaurants, cafe's, bar and club's.
We can also organize local cooking and special catering service with the great Icelandic lamb and the fresh local fish cooked in the 'icelandic way'.

We speak fluent English, German, Italian, Icelandic and Spanish.

Please note :
- Extra fee may apply if the end of stay cleaning will be during the weekend, because in Iceland there is a strict extra cost per hour during the week ends and holidays.
- Extra fee may apply for booking of 1 night only during peak periods of the year.

Lovely large house in a great location

We had a short trip to Iceland and stayed here, the house was really comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need for a home away from home. It is only a 10 min drive to the centre of Reykjavík and really easy to get on the main roads for travelling around.

Very comfortable house

The house was perfect for our needs. It was very spacious and comfortable. It was warm and welcoming. The house was also well equipped. The only addition I would suggest would be a drier although we actually did not need this for our stay.

ideal location closr to Reykjavik

We stayed at this well appointed house which easily accommodated five adults for four nights. Off road parking and wasy access to the main road made travelling easy. The house is up a small flight of stairs so might not be suitable for the less able paticularly in snowy or icy conditions The owner kept in constant contact to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Iceland being so expensive we chose to eat at home every night cooking in the well appointed kitchen. The whole house was clean and warm despite the snow and ice outside. We would highly recommend this property.

Great house, great host, highly recommended.

I stayed here with a group of friends at the end of September. While we did not have the best of luck with the weather this house made our stay exceptionally enjoyable. As a host Marco was very attentive to details and provided plenty of instruction on house amenities as well as local places and attractions. The kitchen is fully appointed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, neat and comfortable. It was my first visit to Iceland and I want to come back soon. When I do I will definitely try to book this home again.

the best home away from home

We loved our first visit to Iceland. It is such a wonderland of vistas, lovely people and new experiences. What made it even better was our home away from home. The apartment is very comfortable, nicely appointed and every thing we needed was there. It is well located and it was easy to get to our destination. Grocery stores were convenient. Marco was quick to respond to any question and he made the booking very easy. We highly recommend this property

Great space and location!

Thank you Marco for such a lovely experience to our first but hopefully not last journey to Iceland!! With 7 people we had more than enough space for privacy! After long days of travel and exploring it was so nice to lounge on the big couch upstairs and watch a movie! Thank you for making them available! The location was great for quiet and so close to the action of downtown!!! The running path is literally at the house so it was easy to find and enjoy early morning runs! The kitchen was well supplied with ammenities and the 2 livingroom spaces made it easy for some to work and others to play without being in each others way! Thank you as well Marco for being so helpful and easy to communicate with from Canada, much comfort. Thank you so much!

Beautiful property, good location, Marco is great

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Iceland. The property was very well presented and hugely spacious. Good bedrooms and several large living spaces, with everything we needed. Location was perfect - being just a few km outside of Reykjavik meant it was 5 mins drive to the city, but also perfectly located to get onto the highway and out to see the scenery without having to go through city traffic. Marco was very helpful and organised and I would thoroughly recommend him and his property. Thank you!

Lovely house in a nice location

This is a spacious, light, modern house in a quiet residential location. The house is well-equipped with all you need for your stay. It is nicely decorated and furnished to a high standard. It is close to local amenities and has easy access to downtown Reykjavik. We have stayed twice and would choose this house again.

Great place for family or larger group

Great spot, exactly as described and even better! Place is very spacious, we had 7 adults and 2 kids and everyone had a great time. Perfect location too – few minutes from Reykjavik, minutes to highways, supermarkets, etc. Will definitely come back when in Iceland. A+ service from Marco! So far best experience from all travels with VRBO.

Highly recommend this house!

We were 6 adults and 4 children staying in the house and there were plenty of space. Comfortable beds and a nice neighbourhood. We can warmly recommend this house to families with kids, there were even toys to play with upstairs. The only thing missing for us was a microwave, but we managed ok without it. :) Thank you Marco!

Delightful spacious and warm stay in Reykjavik!

A lovely property with plenty of room for a family with kids in a quiet suburb just a taxi ride away from the city. The house was clean, well equipped and met our needs. Nice kids rooms with toys too! Lots of things to see and do around Reykjavik. We'd recommend the property to those who like comfort and don't mind the out-of-city location.

Perfect house for family holidays

We stayed 2 weeks in this house with our 3 children, and everything was perfect. The house is big, well furnished, modern, clean and ideally located. It's in a very nice part of Reykjavik, very quiet, and at the same time near shops and near the center of the city. It's ideal to discover Iceland. Thanks to the many recommandations of the owner (Marco), we had all the informations about the country and the places to visit. We had also many tips about restaurants in Reykjavik, and it has been usefull to us. Thaénk you to Marco and his family for all its help!

Aussen hui

Leider entsprach die "Tolle Villa" nicht den Erwartungen, die man an ein Objekt dieser Bezeichnung und Preiskategorie stellen kann. Es war nicht gründlich gereinigt, es gab Dinge wie abgebrochene Fensterriegel, defekte Haushaltsgeräte, kaputte Lampen, ungeordnetes Chaos in den Küchenschränken, gebrochene Regale im Kühlschrank usw. Die Einrichtung ist zweckmässig, nicht aber "like a villa". Für zwei Gäste waren nur "Behelfsbetten" aufgestellt, eine Matratze auf dem Boden und ein Metall-Klappbett. Für 3 Nächte auszuhalten, aber eben kein Standard. Insgesamt gibt es maximal die Note 3, das Objekt ist seinen Preis nicht wert. Ausserdem gibt es keine, wie in der Objektbeschreibung angegeben, Pools oder Sauna. Damit fehlt eine Einrichtung, die für eine Buchung auch von Relevanz ist. Das ist nicht akzeptabel. Wir können keine Empfehlungen geben.

A beautiful and modern home

This home is modern and lovely. There are two full baths which was a big bonus for us. The host was very forthcoming with all the information we needed and provided many tips for finding great places to see while we visited. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. An excellent home away from home.

Landsmót long weekend pre- horse trek

Great location for our visit. Having 4 bedrooms was perfect. 2 bathrooms great - upstairs tub missing drain plug. Kitchen needs some love in terms of organizing and repairing appliances and kitchen tools. (Need flat bottom coffee filters instead of cone - I couldn’t find at grocery store). Great space though. Had breakfast at home otherwise we were out. Excellent walk to park and to the geothermal beach!

Lots of room for everyone

Great location! You can get on the highway quickly and getting to the centre is no problem. Lots of room for everyone. Not at all flexible on check-in/check-out times, which was stressful as we were a group of people with different flight times, but overall, it was a good place to stay.

It was clean and walking distance to downtown. But, the best part for our family was it had the best dark shades of any place we stayed. We all got a great night sleep!
