Iceland - A land of ice and fire

A place where fire and ice co-exist, where light and darkness meet each other. If happiness is the goal - and it should be, then adventures should be a priority. Let your feet wander, your eyes marvel & your soul ignite. It's better to see something once, than to hear about it a thousand times.

Hof 1 Hotel
Astrid:Hof 1 Hotel is located in one of the most beautiful and extraordinary regions in Iceland, often referred to as „Sveitin milli sanda“, which loosely translates as „The Land Between the Sands“. Parts of the hotel are in small buildings that were originally used as stables and barns for sheep but have been transformed into a comfy country hotel with modern touches. In the evening we had an incredible 3 course meal at there bistro, made from pure and fresh locally sourced ingredients. €€
