ES603608We were really pleased with our stay in Hveragerdi. This was not our first time visiting Iceland and we fell in love with the location. We had a great time exploring the wonderful nature spots that were close to our house and the south of Iceland.
The house was spacious and comfortable in a tranquil setting. Communication between us was both efficient and fluid before and during the stay. I would like to express my gratitude to Ingibjörg and her family!
