Отель Gran Hotellihuoneistot 1, Суолахти, Финляндия

This was a great stay - unfortunately I had only 1 night. This is an apartment in a traditional house with everything a traditional on the inside, but in a good way. So if you're looking for a modern interior, this is not it, but if you enjoy a place with history and interiors that reflect that, this is great. Lots of space. In short walking distance from the center and supermarkets in one direction, and the railway museum (with old rolling stock outside) and waterfront walks in the other. A very friendly and welcoming caretaker, though we only communicated via phone. I liked my stay!

This was a self-catering house, and the kitchen alcove was sufficient for simple tasks, with plenty of cafes and shops in the town for meals. The location is superb, with lake visible through the trees, and the house itself is a historic one. The house has a very good feel because it is entirely built of timber - about a hundred years ago! There is a proper old-fashioned wood-fired sauna in its own separate timber building in the garden, which can be made available any time on request - highly recommended!!!
