Helga and Siggi are the farmers and your hosts at Finnsstaðir. Helga is a trained pharmacy technician, but a host and horsewoman by passion. Siggi is a mechanic and a true jack-of-all-trades, speaking Icelandic and “horse” almost interchangeably, and always turning words into action. We offer self check-in, giving our guests flexibility and full privacy during their stay. Our home is the other house right next to the guesthouse, so you may see us around the farm. The lady with the most welcoming and honest smile will be Helga — easy to recognize, just look for the nicest smile and the kindest eyes. Even if you don’t see us in person, you can always reach us by phone or message. Self check-in allows you to enjoy the property on your own terms, while we are always available if you need help or advice.
