Helgafell is a historic farm, 7km from the popular town Stykkishólmur.
On the farm Helgafell is a small mountain, called the holy mountain and the view from the top is beautiful in every direction.
At the top you also find an old chapel where you can make three wishes.
The cabins was ready 01.08.17 and are located by the Helgafell lake with a beautiful birdlife all around, they are 27 square and will have good conditions, comfortable bed and full equipped kitchen.
My name is Lára and I was born in Stykkishólmur. I moved to Helgafell at 2007 Helgafell.
My husband has lived at Helgafell all his life just like his father, Helgafell has been en they're family since 1880.
