"Incredible place."

"Well, the "great surroundings" covers it all: hotel, the room, the villas and parks with their high old trees, not forgetting history or interior decorations. We enjoyed it all, including the spa facilities. Efforts made toward special characteristics for the cuisine, happily preserved however with a general traditional line. Nothing missing in the wine cellar. (You asked about the cleaning: it was next to perfect not only in the room but in the hotel and restaurant as well: 4 stars.). "

"I recently had the pleasure of spending time in this beautiful lakeside cottage in Finland. Nestled among graceful silver birch trees, the cottage offers a perfect balance of peace, comfort, and nature’s beauty. The lush green foliage and wildflowers surrounding the property create a feeling of seclusion, making it an ideal escape from the bustle of everyday life.The cottage itself is charming — a classic red wooden home with white trim, exuding warmth and character. The wraparound porch is adorned with colourful blooms, and from here you can enjoy a morning coffee while listening to the gentle rustle of the trees. Inside, everything is cosy and welcoming, with the added necessities of wifi, the modern television, and hot running water.Just a short walk away, a private dock extends out over the water, offering uninterrupted views of the serene lake. Sitting on the deck by the shore, an occasional boat may pass in the distance. The surrounding reeds and islands add to the sense of privacy and tranquillity. The gardens are equally delightful, with vibrant purple clematis, striking tiger lilies, and cheerful cornflowers in shades of blue and violet. These splashes of colour contrast beautifully with the deep greens of the surrounding trees which offer a beautiful peaceful retreat.This Finnish cottage is a true hidden gem — perfect for anyone seeking natural beauty, quiet moments, and the simple pleasures of lakeside living. I left feeling refreshed and inspired."

"We loved the island, the house, the sauna, the peace and quiet. Liz and Tom are wonderful hosts - very helpful when necessary, however they seem to have considered all the amenities and the cottage contains all you need for a lovely relaxing stay. We felt deeply calm and refreshed by this holiday."

"This was an excellent stay, highly recommend!!"

"Great service and communication before our stay. Lovely breakfast and other touches in the room. A quiet place, a short drive from Porvoo - highly recommend. "

"No staff available. Basically just a room with no amenities. Not for a novice traveler "

"A lovely spot to stay in Porvoo. The staff were so lovely and found a place for my bike inside the building. The breakfast was amazing and the sauna was excellent."
