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.

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.
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.
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.

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!
Communication with owner was flawless and speedy. House is clean and has all you need. 10 min drive to downtown. Easily holds 6-7 guests. Recommend for sure
We enjoyed our stay and Marco was a terrific host. He provided lots of information and recommendations for an easy stay. The neighborhood is quiet, friendly, walkable and only 10 short minutes to downtown by car or 7-minutes to Sky Lagoon or the beach. I would recommend and stay here again. The rental is up one flight of stairs to the main level. The ground level is a separate apartment and the rental listing is for the upper two floors and requires 14-stairs to access.
Marco and his family provide a warm and welcoming accommodation for a large family to come enjoy Iceland. Their home is beautiful and they are wonderful hosts.
Family of 8, perfect. Easy accessible to explore the wonders of Iceland. House had everything you need to make your stay like home, expresso machine well used, highly recommended, thank you Marco
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!
Wonderful experience from the start to the end. Very helpful and responsive.
The house was perfect for us and the beds very comfortable, thank you for opening your home to us!
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.
The house was overall clean and as described and had plenty of space for 7 people. On the negatives, one of the bedrooms was missing a fitted sheet. The curtains were somewhat, but not completely effective at blocking evening sunlight. The dishwasher had leftover food stuck in the bottom when we arrived. Hosts charged a surprise "weekend cleaning fee" despite checking out on a Wednesday.

This is a fantastic home with plenty of room - perfect for our family of five. The two entertaining areas were great and the kitchen very well equiped. The neighboorhood is quiet and there's a beautiful park just down the street. The grocery store was five minutes away and great restaurants only a ten minute drive. Our hosts gave us lots of information about what to do in Iceland and we thouroughly enjoyed our vacation there!
My friends and I were very pleased with the house. It was perfect for a group of 6 and looked even better than the pictures. The one thing I would caution future travelers is we were charged an additional fee (for staying one night) after we made our initial payment, which we felt obligated to pay as the booking was nonrefundable. Hopefully there will be more transparency in the future.

great size house and great location
Loved the house layout and location,however the house was not very clean at all. The coffee maker was broken, their was mold in the kitchen and upstairs shower. The smoke detector was missing the cover and had no batteries in it!! I was surprised how there was no dishwasher soap. garbage bag liners or any extra towels. Plus, the door knobs were broken on all of the bedrooms upstairs. The address number on the house was missing,too.I felt like this house could have a ton of potential. It just needs some serious cleaning and a few things fixed and repaired.This was our third VRBO in Iceland and it wasn't on par with the other houses even though they were all the same rating .

No trampoline, playstation games or dryer.
This will be my first negative review ever on VRBO but I feel like I had to mention this. My kids were very disappointed when there was no trampoline or games for the playstation as listed in the description. . Also, the owner was not the best when it came to communication. It took several hours to respond when I had questions about the house. This house has no dryer and there is no tv to watch downstairs, only a dvd player with several old movies. I also found it a little odd that there was so many family pictures all of the house. It felt like I was staying in someone’s family home instead of a rental. The washing machine was not user friendly, so it would’ve been nice if there was some instructions to follow being that there were 30 different options on how to wash in a different language. The children’s bikes were very rusted and unusable and none of the bikes had air in the tires. I would be happy to stay here again but only for half the price.

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.
The location on this very spacious we'll equipped home worked exceptionally well for all our day excretions that we had planned. I would definitely stay here again.
Excellent house in a quiet neighborhood close to all of the action. Clean, comfortable and well equipped kitchen. Two recommendations - The washer was great but no drier was challenging & would have liked the grill to be ready for use but overall a fantastic stay. I would recommend a stay.
