“Fabulous fjord view”
Beautiful well equipped house in a stunning fjord location just out of Akureyri town. Cheerful lights of Akureyri town could be seen from one side of the property at night whilst the back bedroom balcony gave spectacular dark sky views of any Aurora. Glorious sauna just a step outside the back door. Very calm aura to the whole place. Jean Marc and his wife where fantastic hosts, there in a flash when needed and discretely out of sight when not. All in all a fabulous and highly recommended property.
