Hotel Fljótshlíð is a pleasant eco-hotel located in the countryside of Southern Iceland. The hotel has a variety of accommodation from hotel rooms, chalets, larger cottages, and a campsite. In its remote natural setting, you can relax with spectacular mountain views, go horseback riding or plant a tree as a carbon offset.
Hotel Fljótshlíð has been working according to its sustainability policy since 2007. It was eco-labeled by the Nordic Swan in 2014. The hotel will continue its path towards sustainability and lead the way for others.
Hotel Fljótshlíð / Smaratun Guesthouse is located in Fljótshlíð, 13 kilometers from the town Hvolsvöllur in South Iceland. For the last three generations, the farm has been managed by the same family and the farm stay was introduced in 1986.
Smáratún remains a functioning family-operated farm and consists of 300 hectares of land. Produce such as potatoes, rhubarb, and garden greens are cultivated but primarily cattle and sheep are their focus. Animal welfare is a priority and all the livestock enjoy a free-range lifestyle. Their sheep are relocated to the highlands during the summer months to graze under the midnight sun.
Your package includes daily homemade breakfast. Other meals are available at the onsite restaurant, The Barn.
Hotel Fljótshlíð still uses grandma's recipes for some of their breakfast delights. Try their SKYR, jams, meat-toppings, bread, granola and much more on their breakfast buffet.
Farm to Table is important to Hotel Fljótshlíð and much of what they produce is directly used for their guests in their onsite restaurant, The Barn. They grow potatoes, turnips, rhubarb, herbs and garden greens in their vegetable gardens.
Free roaming is what is so special about Icelandic meat. The lambs are raised on grasses produced by the midnight sun and feast in the highlands all summer long. All the meat available on the restaurant menu is produced by their own farm.
Many hiking trails are to be found in a short distance from the hotel and the area is loaded with migratory birds. You can also experience a sustainable farm lifestyle:
