Fodor's Expert Review Torfhús Retreat

Dalsholt, Selfoss, South, 801, Iceland Fodor's Choice

Despite being in a simple turf house, the Torfhús Retreat is one of the most luxurious hotels in all of Iceland. Mixing heritage Icelandic style with modern amenities and true high-end service, a night in one of their delightfully rugged guesthouses will be one you won't forget. Their basalt stone hot pool is also a nice touch.
