Stekkjarholt is located in the fjord Hvalfjörður, north of Reykjavik, and is an excellent location for day trips in South and West Iceland. This old romantic house was built in 1906 and has been renovated and well maintained by the owners.

Akranes is the closest town with all services that might be required. In Akranes we totally recommend Guðlaug, a hot pool right at the beach front, frequently used by sea swimmers. The view from "the pool of the goddess" is breathtaking.
Beautiful drives can be taken into Hvalfjörður fjord, and the farm Bjarteyjarsandur is worth a visit, simply for the animals or to have a nice lunch. You can walk to the beach. At the bottom of the Fjord you find the highest waterfall of Iceland, Glymur, 94 meters high. If you are in good shape, a hike up to its origin is totally worth it. In August, you will find places Hvalfjörður full of blue and black berries.
