Reviews
Breakfast was great, quality pastries, good coffee. The area was wonderfully peaceful, we also went to Myllyjärvi a short distance away. We were missing peace and sun and it was guaranteed. Next time two nights so we can walk even a longer trip to swim. The child especially liked the indoor pool.
They dont give any shoes for spa.
People were walking Infront of my window, which was weird, since the hotel is in the middle of the forest.
Bed was very comfortable. Pillows and blanket was nice. Breakfast very delicious and location is beautiful
Dinner was simple but absolutely tasty. Breakfast is a grand buffet spread with many healthy options. I will return!
