Bakkastofa is the residence of the artists Ásta and Valgeir. They also use it as a venue for small, hand-picked groups (max 18) to enjoy their various cultural programmes.
The warm and welcoming style appeals to visitors, who easily relate to the relaxed vibe. During music performances and storytelling sessions the emphasis is on an interactive, casual atmosphere where questions and discussion are welcomed.
The village of Eyrarbakki is a quiet, ocean-side village where many artists like to retreat and work. It lies in an area where some of the most important Sagas took place.
Other places of interest
We can also arrange visits to Eyrarbakki's gems: our beautiful church with its magnificent acoustics; Húsið Museum, where the legacy of Ásta's great-great-grandparents is preserved; the village's two fine restaurants; and of course the village itself and its surrounding nature.
