Serene setting for an Icelandic adventure
With an idyllic location in the West Iceland countryside, about 90 minutes’ drive from Reykjavik and around an hour's drive from the Golden Circle, Fosshotel Reykholt could be the perfect spot for your Icelandic adventure – or even a romantic escape for two. The landscape here is home to the likes of lava fields, waterfalls, and snow-capped mountains, so have your camera at the ready to capture the picture-perfect scenery.
You won’t be short on things to do either. Reykholt is a pocket-sized village that packs a historical punch. It’s best known as the home of Snorri Sturluson – a poet, writer, and historian whose work is now showcased in the village. Head 15 minutes’ drive away, meanwhile, and you can marvel at the Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls or take a walk through the surrounding lava fields.
As for the hotel, you can expect a calm and inviting atmosphere, with everything you’ll need to make the most of your stay. The on-site restaurant serves a range of international and traditional Icelandic fare, while the cosy bar is a great place for an evening drink. The cherry on top is the hotel spa, which packs in a sauna, steam bath, and outdoor hot and cold tubs, so why not treat yourself after a busy day?
