The Old School House

We have stayed all over the world and the old school house is in our top 3 favorites. We had a group of 15 photographers stay here for a week of photo shoots. This was the best place to return home for some relaxation every night after 10-11 hours out in the elements all day. Communication was impeccable and I wish I could give 10 stars all around!

It is a magnificent old converted school house in the rural lowlands of south of Iceland.
