I, Thorunn, one of the owners of Sólbakki 6, live in Reykjavík, with my family, and we spend as much time in Flateyri as we can. Through the years I have worked in tourism and also in a dance- and yoga studio downtown Reykjavík.

The Westfjords are still an untouched part of Iceland, the home of bird cliffs and seals swimming along the stunningly beautiful coastline, magnetic mountainous fjords, black and white beaches, waterfalls, remoteness, -a place where the wild nature takes your breath away. Önundarfjordur, where the color of the sea is unique, a magnetic fjord in the Westfjords,known for its spectacular mountains on both sides of the fjord. Flateyri fishing village offers a local restaurant Vagninn known for it's gourmet food (open during high summer). Swimming pool in walking distance from villa with indoor pool, sauna and outdoor warm sitting pools. White sanded beach at Holt 5-10min drive, optimal to swim in the North-Atlantic ocean!
