Descripción
Base yourself at Guesthouse Carina, a bright bed and breakfast in Vik with sea, mountain, and village views. Set right by the Ring Road on Iceland's South Coast, it suits road trippers, solo travelers, and families who want a clean, friendly, well-placed stop close to the black sand beach.
Location & Nearby
Guesthouse Carina sits on Myrarbraut in the small town of Vik, the southernmost village in mainland Iceland. The two-story house stands at the edge of town, just off Route 1, and looks out over the rooftops, the church, the mountains, and the ocean. It makes an easy halfway base for South Coast trips.
Everything you need is in town and within walking distance. You will find grocery stores, gas stations, a few restaurants and cafes, and a swimming pool nearby. You can walk down the street and across to the main part of Vik in a few minutes.
The black sand beach of Vik is about 0.3 miles (500 meters) from the door. Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, with its basalt columns and sea stacks, is roughly 6 miles (10 kilometers) away. Dyrholaey Promontory, a great spot for puffins in summer, sits about 9 miles (15 kilometers) from the house.
More of the top South Coast attractions are an easy drive from Vik. Skogafoss Waterfall is around 21 miles (34 kilometers) away, and Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, which you can walk behind, is about 35 miles (56 kilometers). In winter, the dark skies over town give you a real chance at the northern lights.

Guesthouse Carina has 14 bright rooms in a range of sizes, sleeping 2 to 6 people. Some look out over the sea, some face the mountains, and others overlook the village and church. The rooms are clean and simply furnished, with comfortable beds and good heating for cold nights.

There is a small shared kitchenette for guests. You cannot cook here, but it has a microwave, a kettle, a refrigerator, a toaster, and dishes and cutlery, which is handy for a quick bite or a hot drink.
The house has a glass dining and sitting room that catches the view over the town and the ocean. It is a calm spot to relax, and there is a shelf of board games, puzzles, and cards if you want to settle in for the evening.
