Iceland in winter is a magical place with glaciers, snow covered waterfalls and Northern Lights. Torfhús Retreat is an authentic, atmospheric base from which to experience all of that.
Iceland is synonymous with seclusion anyway as an island in the North Atlantic with rugged terrain and a sparse population. But within that wild countryside, some hotels expand that sense of privacy even further. Atin Selfoss in the southern part of the island, the 25 rooms are enclosed in individual turf covered houses tucked into the rural landscape. It’s secluded but not inconvenient—a 90 minute drive from the capital Reykjavik and in the heart of the sightseeing rich Golden Circle.
The restaurant here, also located in a wooden structure resembling a Viking farmhouse, is the domain of inventive Icelandic chef Thorannin Eggertsson who creates a different five course tasting menu each evening composed of ingredients largely within a 10 mile radius.
