Monika and Halldór
SAXA is a cozy, couple-run guesthouse with private bathrooms in the beautiful Eastern fjords of Iceland.
We're Monika and Halldór, a Polish/Icelandic mountain loving duo. In a little bit crazy spur of the moment decision in May 2021 we packed our bags, move from Reykjavik to the beautiful East of Iceland and bought this guesthouse. We have big dreams and big plans for this place for the future, so whether you're a native or a tourist, stop by and let us be a part of your adventure!
The world famous stone collection of Petra is located only 350 meters (1.150 feet) from the property as well as Summer craft market literally next door. There's also many hiking trails all around the fjord and supposedly "the most beautiful valley in whole Iceland". Can't say we don't agree :)
