Slow Travel Mývatn - Óli's Homestay-Private house v

Very beautiful handcrafted products from our host available in the house!

Such a cute little home. The owners have worked so hard to share the history of their house and the region. Really well equipped, super comfortable beds, lovely photographs and local ephemera. Extremely warm and cozy. Very eco-friendly and sustainable - top marks for this. We’d definitely return.

Location

Degree of renovation The fact that everywhere are things you can buy. Slowtravel is fine, ecology also. But the attempt to sell things at extensive prices is purely capitalistic...

Cozy cottage. It shows that Oli and Bianca, the hosts, are pretty fond of this place. Well-equipped house, and the washer+dryer is a good addition. Close to the lake and to the ring road itself

It takes some time to get used to it, but Myvatn is a geothermal area, and the hot water comes directly from a geothermal source, so it smells a bit of sulfur, which is similar to rotten eggs. After some minutes you adapt to it, though.

The house is lovely, we recommend! Not just very well equipped with anything you might need, but also spatious and really has a home feel. The hosts put so much effort into making our stay also informative and educational with the many info sheets and traditional items in the house. All the sights are super near by so we could reach the warm home quickly after windy and snowy walks :)

service, detailed and fully equipped house. the washer and dryer is amazing.
