Really mixed feelings about this place. The property was gorgeous, quiet, and really peaceful. Our room was comfortable and we really enjoyed that aspect. We arrived by bus but took a taxi to the train station since public transport is limited. The views from our room and walking trails around the lake were breathtaking. Also love that there are many activities you can do on the lake. The walk from the main building was about a 10-15 minute walk, which is tough with luggage on a gravel and dirt path. Definitely recommend a car for this region of Finland. Especially because there is nothing around here. The main building is actually a rehab facility so besides the villa we stayed in, the main area feels like a facility. It was a really weird place. The spa inside the facility is not a spa and the pool is barely heated. There also isn't a hot tub or anything and the sauna is only decent. There are water workout videos and it's not relaxing at all. The staff spoke English and were friendly though. But I felt really out of place in the main building. Now for the food, the cafeteria was closed for dinner early and so the only thing we could eat was the snacks in the cafeteria. There was some food in the refrigerator in the cafe like sandwiches and stuff, according to my friend it wasn't good. At least we were there in the cafe for bingo night. We had breakfast in the cafeteria before we left and it was horrible. Everything is gluten free, lactose free, low sugar, and low sodium. This is fine but it wasn't appetizing and was done horribly. Conclusion: stay here in the villa for the views and activities. Bring a car so you can leave for food. Don't go to the spa, and avoid the cafeteria food and food at the cafe unless it's snacks at all costs. read more
