The space
English below//
The house Ásgarður was built in 1928. First as a guesthouse offering beer and food, but then became a three-family home. The apartment we offer was formerly the Hrísey Savings Bank, among other things.
We had the history of the house in mind when we renovated the apartment and mixed old things with new ones.
The view from the apartment is magnificent, overlooking the fjord and the mountains. It is a short distance to shops, swimming and restaurants. Hrísey has marked hiking trails, beautiful nature and friendly locals.

The house, Asgardur, was built in 1928. First as a bed and breakfast that offered food and beverage, then a three family home and last, the apartment we have was changed into a small bank.
We had the house history in mind when we were fixing it up, kept some of the old original things (like the panel wall and doors) in mix and new floors, kitchen and bathroom.
The view from the apartment is spectacular, over the fjord and the mountains. The small local shop, the swimming pool and restaurants are within a short walking distance.

We are a family of five who want most people to enjoy staying in Rice. Ásrún is Hrísey, but Klas comes from Sweden. Our three children are all Rice School students in the winter, but enjoy the freedom the island has to offer in the summer.
