Silfurberg is a stunning boutique guesthouse on a secluded rural property about 50km south of Egilsstaðir (30km from Breiðdalsvík). Style, humour and artisanship have been used to convert a barn into first-class accommodation containing four rooms, one suite and delightful, deluxe common areas. The outdoor sauna and dome-enclosed hot-pot are the icing on the cake. Meals by arrangement.
