Description
Settle into Asaskoli, a converted country schoolhouse offering both an apartment and a private twin room in the Golden Circle area of South Iceland. Soak in a shared hot tub surrounded by rose gardens, or relax in the bright, homey rooms. Asaskoli suits couples, families, and small groups looking for a quiet countryside base close to South Iceland's top sights.
Location & Nearby
Asaskoli sits in open countryside near Arnes in South Iceland, right in the Golden Circle area. The building started out as a village school and now works as a quiet base for exploring the region's rivers, waterfalls, and geothermal sites.
The small village of Arnes is about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) away, with a small grocery store. The town of Fludir, about a 10-minute drive away, has a wider choice of restaurants, cafes, and shops. A public geothermal swimming pool is about 2 miles (3.5 kilometers) away, a nice stop after a day of sightseeing.
Asaskoli makes a handy base for the Golden Circle route. The Geysir Geothermal Area is about 12 miles (20 kilometers) away, and the Gullfoss Waterfall is around 16 miles (25 kilometers) further along the same road. The historic Skalholt site, once Iceland's main bishopric, is just 6 miles (10 kilometers) from the apartment.
For something less crowded, the tall Haifoss Waterfall is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) away. On clear winter nights, the open sky above Asaskoli makes it a good spot to watch the northern lights right from the hot tub.
Facilities & Amenities
Asaskoli offers two accommodation types. The two-bedroom apartment sleeps up to six, with a double bed and a single bed in one room, two single beds in the other, and a sofa bed in the living room.
A smaller twin room with two single beds and its own private bathroom is also available, a good fit for two guests traveling light. Parquet floors and simple, homey furniture run through both.
Each accommodation type has its own private bathroom with a shower and fresh towels, plus a hairdryer and free toiletries so you can pack light.
The apartment has its own fully equipped kitchen, including a microwave, a dishwasher, and a tea and coffee maker, so guests can cook meals with local ingredients. Its living room has a flat-screen TV and a stack of board games for a quiet evening in.
Outside, a terrace looks over a garden full of roses, with outdoor furniture, a barbecue, and a petanque field for warm days. A hot tub is the highlight, a good spot to end the day even in cold weather. In summer, long daylight hours make it easy to linger outside after a day on the road.
Free Wi-Fi, free private parking, and an electric vehicle charging station are all available on site. Express check-in and check-out keep arrival and departure simple.
Why Choose Asaskoli?
Head to Asaskoli for a quiet countryside stay that still puts the Golden Circle within easy reach. Spend the day at Gullfoss and Geysir, then come home to soak in the hot tub under an open sky. It suits couples and families who want a comfortable, homey base rather than a standard hotel room. Check availability now by choosing a date.
