A countryside base for the curious

Not far away.
Far enough.

Lækjarkot sits in the quiet green folds of Borgarfjörður: close enough for dinner in Borgarnes, far enough to hear the weather move across the land.

Settle in, cook something simple, and make this your launch point for lava waterfalls, geothermal pools, Icelandic horses and the Snæfellsnes peninsula.

Meet your hosts

Icelandic calm.
Italian warmth.

At the heart of Lækjarkot are Sif and Duccio—one Icelandic, one Italian, and together the hosts of this quiet place in Borgarfjörður.

Odinn the dog and Mr. Rossi the cat complete the household. Together, the four of them make Lækjarkot what it is: a real home in the Icelandic countryside, shared with travellers from near and far.
