Preciosa casita en el bosque con todas las comodidades que te puedas imaginar, incluida una sauna, muy limpia y equipada. A escasos 10 minutos de Rovaniemi y cerca de supermercados y restaurantes. Matti es un anfitrion genial, se preocupa de tu estancia y te informa de todas tus dudas. A nosotros incluso nos gestionó el alquiler del coche, todo perfecto.
Nada, todo fantástico.
Super emplacement, maison très agréable et superbe bien équipée. Le propriétaire nous a aidé à chercher les aurores boréales, jusqu à tard dans la nuit. Des rennes et lièvres passent devant la maison.
Очень чисто и есть всё необходимое для комфортного проживания. Прямо под окнами гуляли олени, вокруг красивый лес с прогулочными тропами. До магазинов и всех достопримечательностей, ехать максимум 10 минут. Это второй наш визит на эту виллу и уверена, что не последний🙏❤️

Posto meraviglioso, casa bellissima, pulita, comoda, spaziosa... una delle case più belle in assoluto
Absolutely loved everything!
Nothing, it was all perfect.
An absolutely wonderful property with a wonderful host. Beautiful walks from the doorstep into the established woodland paths, amazing facilities inside, real attention to detail. Thank you for sharing your property & helping with car rental hire aswell. We were also extremely fortunate to see the northern lights during our stay, just one step outside the villa. A trip of a lifetime & memories to cherish. Short drive from airport but you feel further away, supermarket nearby if needed groceries on first night arriving.
Nothing at all to dislike.
Loved its location facilities and the fact we could all stay together- 7 of us with plenty of space and storage
Villa Peippo ci è piaciuta tantissimo, è una casa da sogno immersa in un paesaggio idilliaco a meno di 10 minuti di auto dal centro città. La pulizia è eccellente ed i letti sono comodissimi, noi eravamo 6 adulti e abbiamo dormito benissimo. Il proprietario inoltre è gentilissimo, sempre disponibile per ogni evenienza, ci ha aiutato con tante cose tra cui la ricerca dell’aurora boreale che è andata a buon fine. Grazie di tutto!!
Nulla, è tutto meraviglioso.
We really enjoyed our stay. Villa Peippo was very comfortable and spotlessly clean and it had everything we needed. Veli-Matti was a fantastic host and his genuine care and attention to detail stood out. We received a very warm welcome and really appreciated the helpful tips about seeing the Northern Lights. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

El alojamiento es espectacular, precioso, acogedor y muy limpio. No le falta detalle, te sientes como en casa. Está en un entorno único y Matti hace que tu estancia en la villa sea inolvidable. Gracias Matti por ser tan atento
Our 2nd time here and again everything was amazing. Veli-Matti is such a helpful host. Love this Cabin for true feeling in the woods near the nature trail and close to all activities.
The location was magical, set in the forest which had some beautiful walks, easy access to all the resorts and snow activities. Sledging on your front door the kids loved it! Accommodation was perfect, comfy beds and set up perfect for family stay! Matti the host was perfect and helpful the whole way! Even gave out children Santa letters and a little Finnish gift which made the holiday. Thank you!
Nothing. It' was all perfect :)
The villa had everything we needed for a really enjoyable holiday. It is situated not far from the centre of Rovaniemi, which is accessible by car or on foot (on a forest path). We walked with our 3 children and it took about 35 minutes. There is the perfect place to go sledging right outside the villa, which my kids loved! We saw the Northern lights from a hill just down the road from the house.
Everything was perfect
This beautiful cabin is spacious and clean, with tasteful furnishings that made it feel like home away from home. Everything is high end - the kitchen was very well equipped. The wood fire added a warm, cozy, feel and the sauna an authentic Finnish experience. The cabin is nestled in the forest, and with the soft outdoor lights draped around the snow-covered trees created a magical atmosphere and charm. It felt like staying in a picture-postcard cabin in the woods. Our host Veli-Matti was very obliging, kind and considerate. Always available - nothing was too much trouble.
NOTHING - everything was perfect!
We had the absolute best time staying at Villa Peippo! The cabin was stunning with so much room for our family of 5. Fantastic kitchen facilities, very comfortable beds, smart TV with Disney Netflix etc, amazing sauna, stunning views out every window, warm and cozy and the kids loved all the sleds out the front. The host was amazing, so helpful. Less then a 10 min drive from the city centre but you felt a million miles away. 15min drive from Santa Claus Village. 10/10 stay and planning to return next year already ❤️
Nothing everything was amazing
Tutto, siamo stati molto bene, casa bellissima, pulita e in una posizione ottima, fuori dalla città ma allo stesso tempo vicina, host super carino e gentile
Es war alles sehr gepflegt. Der Host hat uns bei der Anreise begrüßt und alles gezeigt. Er war jederzeit für uns erreichbar und hat uns Tipps für das finden der Nordlichter gegeben.
Beautiful location, very secluded but not too secluded. Sleding sloaps nearby and sky hotel!
Nothing!
Sauna, localisation, le côté chaleureux de la maison, le propriétaire est très serviable et Aidan’s en cas de difficultés de transport ou pour organiser des sorties pour capturer les aurores boréales
Magnifique maison bien équipé situé dans un quartier calme non loin des pistes de ski. Sauna agréable, cuisine équipée, lits confortables

We really enjoyed our stay at the villa. It was very clean, cozy, and well equipped with quality furniture and beautiful dishes. The location is quiet and close to the Ounasvaara ski slope, and we could see amazing northern lights right above the house. The host was very kind and helpful. He gave us great advice on when and where we could see the aurora and even arranged a wonderful Christmas surprise for our children when Santa Claus visited the villa. Highly recommended!
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect.
We are a family with 4 children visiting Lapland to see Santa and our stay at Villa Peippo was absolutely perfect. The villa was very clean and comfortable with enough space for our family and a lovely sauna. The location is excellent, very quiet with lots of sledging nearby and two restaurants within a short walk. The host Veli-Matti was so friendly and helpful, way beyond what I would expect of a host and made our whole stay so easy. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough
Our host was exceptional. Nothing was a bother for him. Assisted with tours, taxis and arranged groceries when we arrived. Highly recommend this property.
Nothing to dislike.
The host was very welcoming, property was really warm and cozy, location is great so we could even see the Northern Lights from the driveway. Great slope for the sledging just 5m away. Could not ask for anything better as a family! Will definitely come back for further visits!
There wasn’t anything that we didn’t like
Everything. It was the perfect property. Spacious, comfortable, modern and super clean. Plus, the host was AMAZING. I can’t wait to recommend this property to others.
Nothing. It was literally perfect.
The location is absolutely stunning. Everything was beautiful and clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The sauna was lovely to have too. It was a picture perfect cabin in the snow. You couldn’t ask for anything better. It was cosy and comfortable and our host went above and beyond to be helpful in any way he could. We could tell it was very important to him that we had a great time and he had so many great suggestions to help us with what to do. We could not have asked for a better experience in Rovaniemi I’m so glad we chose to stay in Villa Peippo because I know we had a better holiday because of it. Thank you
Nothing
Above all, the high standard, professional service, and support from the host from the moment you book. The property is very clean, perfectly located, and offers high levels of comfort and quality.
The owner was exceptional. When we arrived, he gave us a full tour of the cabin, offered to help with arranging a rental car, and even drove us to pick it up. He checked in with us every day to help us spot the northern lights. The cabin itself truly made our stay—it had everything we needed , Netflix and Disney plus on the tv was a bonus for the cosy nights by the fire and the sauna was incredible. We’ll definitely be back next year! Cannot fault this place at all it was exceptional!
Nos ha encantado el alojamiento. Todo muy limpio, moderno y confortable. Nos encantó la ubicación, cerca de todo pero en plena naturaleza. La sauna, el baño, una pasada.
Everything, the warmth of the Villa that greets you as you walk in the door to the outside Christmas trees as the deer casually walk among the trees. Truly Magical
There is nothing not to like.
Sauna, Lage, Vermieter :)
alles super!
One morning, two reindeers appeared in front of our window and they stayed there for about 20 minutes. it was a unique experience, the kids loved it!
Very good location, close to city, but in the woods. Spacious, clean, comfortable. The owner Veli-Matti was extremely helpful.
There is nothing to complain about...
la casa y el entorno
me gusto todo
Je to úžasné místo v přírodě a vlastně i v centru Rovaniemi. Krásná příroda, množství turistických tras a výletů. Ubytování je fantastické, útulná, luxusní a zároveň velmi dobře vybavená chata. Setkání s majitelem proběhlo hned po příjezdu na nádraží. Vše nám vysvětlil a ukázal, dovedl nás přímo k chatě.
La localisation très proche du centre tout en étant au calme dans un bel environnement Le propriétaire a été très accueillant joignable à tout moment et de bons conseils pour des adresses restaurants et visites
Wonderful. The best
Nothing
Extremely comfortable and fully equipped villa. Cozy sauna and beautiful design. Very friendly and helpful owner.
The owner met me at the property, and he was very welcoming and showed us how everything worked. It had been a stressful week as my son had surgery in the local hospital, and to stay that this cabin was a relaxing luxury and only 1 km from the hospital. I would defiantly stay again if in town.
Nothing, the kids loved it, the wife was happy with it.
We loved it!!
I can't recommend this villa highly enough! Truly an exceptional stay. The villa is located near Lapland Ounasvaara Sky Hotel which is a major pick-up location for many of the popular activities in Rovaniemi. The nearby hotel offers a breakfast buffet and delicious dinner that was convenient to have a short walk away. The villa is tastefully decorated and well-stocked in the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. There is a hot air blower to dry snow clothes and lots of space to store them near the door. The in-bathroom sauna was divine! We used it every day, sometimes twice per day. The property has a parking spot that doubled as a sledding hill for our boys - of which the villa provides plenty of sleds! The villa is also nearby a popular lookout spot where we saw the most amazing display of northern lights! The property is centrally located (20 min from airport and 15 from SCV) but far enough away that we were able to see the northern lights outside of city light pollution. However, the BEST part of the stay is the host. Veli-Matti was so attentive and friendly! He offered us rides and luggage transfers, and he messaged me to let me know when the northern lights were most likely to show and where we should go to see them. We got to know him and consider him a dear friend. Everything about this villa is magical and if you're having trouble deciding where to stay in Rovaniemi, search no further. Stay at Villa Peippo!
Clean and well equipped!
Amazing place! Perfectly located in nature while still being close to the city. The facilities are excellent, everything is very clean, and the host is incredibly attentive and caring. There is plenty of space, the kitchen has great amenities, and the sauna is fantastic. Highly recommended! Thank you, VM, for your wonderful hospitality
Everything about the property was fantastic! Beautiful location. 15 minute walk up to the observation tower where there is a beautiful view, a fire to toast marshmallows and a big hill to sledge on. The location is lovely and we saw the northern lights 3 times right outside during our week there. Wonderful facilities, sauna, well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area. Absolutely perfect and highly recommended!
Everything with property was extremely good.
Nothing
Property was beautifully decorated Cosy and spotlessly clean. everything was to a very higher standard. The owner has thought of everything you could possibly need to wish for. The villa is a winter wonderland its very special place and hope to return one day. Stunning winter walk right on the door step there’s an observation tower with views over the city. Found a Kota on the walk where we stopped and cooked our sausages and marshmallows- perfect day out! You will not regret booking this property
Everything was perfect The only thing I can think of is that I had to leave
Specious and nice villa, very clean, great location. Very friendly and helpful host. Highly recommend
Hi we did 4 nights there absolutely magical our kids had an absolute ball fantastic location very easy to get taxi restaurant 5 minute walk highly recommend it and the cabin was like a dream inside 10 out of 10
Perfectly clean. Outstanding facilities and very friendly and helpful host.
Nothing!
Very nice house, in a beautiful spot in the forest but quite close to Rovaniemi city centre. Very clean and good quality-price relation.
Clean, beautiful, convenient. Great with kids and a bunch of adults. Kitchen had pretty much everything one could ask for.
Specious villa nice location. Host was extremely helpful and the response was prompt. Would definitely stay again.
I liked everything.
We were so grateful that our host met us at the airport and we followed him back to the villa as we arrived late in the evening. The villa was spotlessly clean and comfortable and the location in the forest was amazing. We had a great holiday.
Everything about Villa Peippo was perfect. The kids were able to play outside and location was great. Highly recommend and host was so helpful with everything.
So beautiful tidy house, warm sauna, and pleasant host.
Everything was perfect.
No complaints about this villa. The kitchen was the best equipped we've had on our trip so far. The bathroom was newly renovated and comfortable. The owners attention to detail was fantastic - there was a Christmas tree up, they gave us a welcome bottle of champagne and Gloggi for our kids, plenty of sledding for our kids at the villa. Absolutely no complaints at all. Location is on the outskirts of Rovaniemi so you feel like you are in a relatively secluded area (there are other villas around) but relatively close to Rovaniemi for access to shops. Not far from Santa Park and Santa Claus Village.
Nothing.
Absolutely fantastic location, charming surrounding area. House with all the necessary amenities for a family, impeccable bathroom, with sauna, fully equipped kitchen and the house even had Christmas decorations. Enchanting.
Nothing at all. All this luxury have a price, but that we know when we make a reservation.
Amazing…an absolute winter wonderland!! The host was so helpful, the villa is immaculate and has everything you could possibly need!! As a family of 5 we had lots of space! We did not want to leave.
It's a bit further away from town so you'll need a car, but it's a wonderful place to stay for a couple of days with friends or families. Would recommend for anyone travelling in small group.
Villa Peippo was just perfect! it comfortably sleeps 6 and there are two futons at the top of the stairs in the landing. it has everything you would need for an amazing trip to Lapland. The Aurora lights appeared over the Villa on our first night which was a huge bonus. We loved the shower and the sauna. I have to mention the drying cabinets in the hallway for all your ski gear… it was just fab. Just remove all outer clothing when you arrive in the door, hang everything in the cabinet and switch it on.. everything is nice and dry in no time! Would definitely stay here again if I return to Rovaniemi!
We loved the comfort and layout of the home. It had everything you would need. We especially liked the clothes drier which ensured everything was dry for the next trip outside. We also liked the keyless entry as it meant we didn't have to keep track of a key and the children could let themselves in after playing outside. Sleds were left on the porch which were a big hit with the kids. The owner helped us hire a car through Hertz and also met us at the airport so we could follow him to the property. SCV and Rovaniemi were less than 10 mins from the property. The Bearhill Husky pick up was at Ounasvaara which was less than a 5 min walk. We would highly recommend the property.
super nice villa, fully equiped, always hot sauna, 200m from skiing resort, can go there by foot and return with ski to the door. very friendly owner and very helpfull. excelect communication. highly recommended. will return 100%
the house itself - clean, cozy, comfortable
nothing. it was too good
Great place!
The villa was amazing, great location, cosy, had everything and more we needed. Dryer cupboard was great to use after being out all day. The host is so helpful, he met us at our accommodation and kept in touch about activities that he could reserve for us. The villa has everything a family needs, spacious, warm, even a sauna. The location is perfect, we had a hire car and it was only 10-15min drive to Santa Claus Village. Supermarket down the road. It felt secluded in the woods but close enough to places we needed to go. Would highly recommend this villa. Great value for money.
There is nothing we didn't like.
This was the perfect place to celebrate New Year in Finland with family and friends! I could not fault the location, as it is picturesque and unique, in a forest setting. We loved Villa Peippo, and appreciated the attention to detail with Pentik glassware, bedding and beautiful photos on the walls. Our host Veli-Matti was very helpful and recommended activities. We went skiing at Ounasvaara ski resort and took part in an Aurora hunt with Wild Blueberry tours, with a successful sighting of Aurora borealis which was indeed a gift! We would highly recommend staying in Villa Peippo for a family get away.
Excellent holiday cottage which we booked for a total of 7 nights over Christmas and New Year! We had a fabulous time for both celebrations in a picturesque setting and the weather was perfect
Villa Peippo provided the perfect backdrop for our first Christmas in Finland, reminiscent of my childhood Christmases. The cottage was decorated for Christmas, and everything was perfect! We also spent a memorable New Year in Villa Peippo and were very happy with our choice to stay there. The area was picturesque with snow-laden trees, peaceful and quiet, away from the touristy areas, which was the main purpose of staying at Ounasvaara. The Ounasvaara walking trails and viewing tower were close by, and we took full advantage of this. Also went on a pleasant walk to the Arktikum museum, though took the taxi back up the hill. Having access to a hire car is advised, though we managed well enough without a car for a few days. The self-catering option was great, and the kitchen equipment is of excellent quality, with Fiskars and Pentik items throughout. The washing machine and dryer, as well as the outdoor clothes and shoe dryer, were much appreciated. The sauna was nice but could have been hotter! Sledges were provided, thought we didn't try them out this time. Host Veli-Matti is very helpful and easy to contact, with quick replies to questions. We would highly recommend Villa Peippo for a family holiday, especially in winter!
Everything was perfect
nice cozy house and all required facilities within like dryer, dish washer etc
only 1 toilet so can be difficult if there re more than 5 paxes but the small inconvenience is still worth it.
Fabulous accomodation in a beautiful setting and very helpful host.
Loved absolutely everything! The location, the amazing scenery and equipped with everything! The owner is very, very helpful and nice! Loved everything about the place!
the location was perfect
Fantastic location and atmosphere; charming structure and interiors; apartment was fully furnished and very comfortable.
