Ofanleiti — Hotel in Vestmannaeyjabær

Although Haimaey Island isn't huge, staying just outside of Vestmannaeyjar was a great way to get close to nature, but still be near all the cool things the Westman Islands offers.  Our volcano and puffin ATV tour cruised right by Ofanleiti where we stayed in the Hvassaleiti Cottage, so I knew we found a great spot. ||The island is known for its breathtaking seaside views, a top 100 golf course, elephant rock, a famous 1973 volcanic eruption....and the incredible cliff-dwelling puffins. Between where we stayed, ate and explored, we covered a lot of ground and coming back to some midnight twilight ambiance really capped our first full day in Iceland. ||Efficiently designed with a simple space (which is really nice when you're on the go or heading out to your next adventure quickly; sometimes too much space makes it hard to get out because you feel like you're forgetting something) the cottages offered stunning views and an opportunity to recharge at a very reasonable price. Convenient check-in, helpful info up front, and easy to contact and communicate with. We...

Great views from windows, the cottage was tidy and clean. Kitchen fully equipped with all the utensils, fridge and even an outside grill on the patio! I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Vestmannaeyjar and be able to see scenic views without even leaving the bed. (As of today you can also spot the erupting volcano on the horizon with good weather from inside the...
