Álftártunga Farm Guesthouse

The house is located in the countryside, surrounded by untouched nature with great open areas and beautiful views in all directions. The place is in a very calm, quiet and private area. There is a lot of history in this place and there is a church here that is mentioned in the old Icelandic saga Snorraedda. A church has been here since around 1200 AD at least, but the current church was built in 1873 and is the oldest building in the local municipality, Borgarbyggð (Mýra and Borgarfjarðar county). The same family has lived on the land since 1900 and is now the fifth generation running the farm. Here you can come and enjoy both nature and history. The environment is very quiet, and you can go for a walk see the church or go out into the untouched nature. In the winter you can enjoy the northern lights with minimum light pollution.
We are only about an hour's drive from Snæfellsjökull. About an hour's drive from Reykholt, Barnafoss and Húsafell. About an hour's drive from Þingvellir and an hour's drive from Reykjavík. Very well located in all directions.
We are finishing renovations the building, so everything is like new in the house with new beds. The first guests will arrive in February 2023.

Great place and great host

Svanhildur was an awesome host, always available to any queries and help. The house was clean and beautiful. The kitchen had all the utensils needed and was also well stocked - which was important for us as we did a lot of cooking for a family of 10 people of all ages.

True Icelandic Hospitality

Very nice little house on a beautiful working ranch. The area was beautiful, quiet and peaceful, and was a great basecamp while exploring northwestern Iceland. Svanhildur was very friendly, took us on a little tour of the farm, explained some history behind the little church and cemetery, and went way above and beyond to help return an earring that we left there. Her son and daughter got involved to help return it to us by taking it to the capitol, which is customer service at its finest. Thank you to the entire family. You can’t go wrong with the Álfártunga farm guesthouse.
