We are a family with a love for nature, people, and warm hospitality. I am originally from Odessa, Ukraine, a beautiful city by the Black Sea, while my husband was born in Reykjavík, Iceland. For over ten years, we have been living together in this breathtaking part of South Iceland, surrounded by stunning landscapes. From our home, we have a panoramic view of the incredible Eyjafjallajökull volcano and the town of Hella on one side. On another side, we admire majestic mountains, and on the third side, we see the ocean with the Westman Islands on the horizon.
